    My prediction for what we see this weekend - first qtr tight, 2nd and 3rd qtr free running, 4th qtr tight and locked up. Swans win 12.10 - 9.14.
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

      He reads the "footbal experts'" articles but he gives them the respect they deserve. Here's what Roos had to say on the subject in todays Australian:


      The mild-mannered Roos yesterday expressed a mixture of frustration and disdain that his team are not earning acclaim.

      He dismissed the knockers as mainly ill-informed Melbourne-based critics who rarely saw Sydney play.

      "The week before, I read a report saying we couldn't win finals because we played this free-flowing (style) and hit targets and it wouldn't work in finals," Roos said. "The next week, we play a hard brand of tough, physical, one-on-one, ugly footy and we are criticised for that. You can't worry about it.

      "We are nine (wins) and six (losses). We have had a heap of injuries and the players have been fantastic and that is all I'm concerned about."

      He said the NSW fans would rather see their team graft a win by eight goals to six, than lose a high-scoring shoot-out.

        Bah as if we care what the talentless melbourne journos have to say about the swans.

        To me it just shows how petty and pathetic most melbourne media is..just shows they cant handle us at all.

        Really Melbourne has a complex against Sydney full stop. I get it everytime i am down there..everyone bags out Sydney.

        Jelousy is a curse i tells ya!

            I hope this observation is limited to football matters only.
