2nd spot might be safe...........

[tribey]

Swans up over Brizzy by 11 points early in the 4th.......

Fingers crossed.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Swans by 10.

Not a bad game of footy. Brisbane should have really killed them in the 1st half but their inaccuracy cost them.

I never thought I would say this but Go Swans!!!!!!

 

[tribey]

FWIW, Fitzroy vs South Melbourne - this would've been the better nostalgia match.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Sopken too soon Brisbane by 3 points, 9 minutes to go.

 

[tribey]

BIG BAD BUSTLING!

 

[tribey]

Pretty sure Sandy Roberts would say "OH MY HAT!" right about now....

 

[Stiffy_18]

Sydney by 8 points with 1:10 remaining.

C'mon swans stack up your backline.

Sweet, 2nd is ours for atleast this week!

 

[Stiffy_18]

Anyone seen Football liftout this morning in the Sunday Mail??????

On the front cove it say:

The Adelaide Crows fell into the danger zone after crashing by 37-points to Collingwood on Friday night. The Crows SLIPPED to third on the AFL premiership and are staring at Brisbane Lions in the first week of the finals

Can somebody please tell me where are we on the ladder ATM?????? Fair dinkum talking about getting ahead of yourself. I reckon Rucci wrote that crap.

If we win the next 2 we should finish 2nd and play either Brisbane or Collingwood in the first week of the finals at Football Park.


THANKS SWANS!!!!!!

How well did the cards fall for us this week?

6 goal away loss with a handful of blokes out and 7 or 8 down with the flu - and we stayed second

I love the Swannies.

I beg to differ, i don't think Collingwood will beat Sydney or Essendon and we will be staring at maybe playing Brisbane, SYdney or Port, venue depending on position.

I reckon Collingwood might drop only one of those games. They will not lose both. We need to belt Kangaroos and beat Port and we are safe for 2nd spot on persentage.

 

[DaveW]

Great result.

Was I the only one cheering on the Swans almost as heartily as I would the Crows?

e.g. When Hall took that mark late in the game I let out a big scream of "YES!"

I didn't really like that last Williams goal, that was just a little % boost.

 

[maccas_no1]

I was going for the Swans,we need them to take care of Collingwood for us next week

We need to thump the Kanga's on Saturday arvo

Even if we lose to Port (which we wont ) we should still hold onto 2nd spot.

We want 2nd spot..............HOME finals!!!!!!!

If we finish 2nd what are the chances of a Adelaide Vs Port Adelaide Grand Final???????

Brisbane looked out of sorts today and are in danger of a missing a top four spot and the double chance,we win this week our top four spot is in the bag which is vital to mount a serious premiership challange!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I was the same.

Footy gods have smiled at us today now its up to us to take the chance given to us and win the remainging games.

Lets take it one week at a time. If the ladder stays the same and both of us win both qualifying final and preliminary final then its Crows Vs Port Grand final. I know one thing is for sure I wouldn't want to be on the losing side of that one.

Brisbane looked good today in the first half and if they kicked straighter Sydney would have been dead and burried by half time. Sydney took advantage of this by coming out and playing very well in the 2nd half. That was one tough match for the Swannies and they might be a bit flat next week against Collingwood.

You've got to be kidding.

Brisbane will win both their remaining games.

One of Sydney or Collingwood will likely win two games.

And Fremantle could win both theirs.

If we only win one of our remaining two matches, we could slip out of the top four!

That is a real possibility. The destiny is well and truly in our hands. The best thing for us is if we can beat Kangaroos comprehensively to build up a bit of a percentage that we have lost over the last month and then go on to beat Port is round 22.

This is the only way we can hold on to the 2nd spot.

Hopefully we now go on a 5 game winning streak.
