So who picked the Swannies this week?

[CureTheSane]

I did

[liz]

me too - more heart than head, maybe. But if they carry on where they left off last week who knows!

[snajik]

Yep, but it is a danger game. Then again, I thought last week was a danger game.

I'll admit that I picked Freo in the RWO tipping comp. All the factors point to a Freo win - we lose doyle and cressa, we were playing the worst team in the comp, freo lost and will be keen to make amends at home...

Of course, as I mentioned in the other thread somewhere, I think we certainly CAN win it if everything goes right. What I'm worried about is our consistency and experience.

[TheMase]

I did.
But I genuinely believe we will win. I do not rate Freo as highly as some, and believe they are a tad overrated.
Their defense is average at best, and without Parker, Koops and McPharlin they are short on their best anyway.

Croad is out, and Longmuir only just coming back. Farmer is also in doubt for the match.


Sydney by 24 points

I did but only because I refuse to tip against them.

The swans are capable of winning but I think it the final margin wont be anymore than 20 points in a high scoring game.

I did too - hoping they keep the form of last week - I liked all the running and hope Jude Bolton plays as well this week. Really pleased to see him get heaps of the ball.

cheers, i never look at stickys... habit i gotta break, i always presume that they are the same and dont even look there

[Charlie]

I'll admit I didn't, but I'm hoping like hell that I end up wrong.

I just think that beating Freo at Subi without Doyle, Cressa, Fixy and Mick is just too much for me too tip it. But that doesn't mean that I don't think it CAN happen... if we win, it'll mean to me that missing the finals would be a major failure.

[NMWBloods]

Frankly, it always staggers me how some people can't tip against their side in the footy tipping. I don't really see the point of it.

[Skells]

The only time I have ever tipped against the swans was in 2000 (I think) against Essendon. It was a very wet day and the swans nearly pulled off a great victory (I think the margin was only about 2 goals in the end). I was watching that game and swore to myself that I wouldn't tip against them again.

[Red]

I'm tipping us to win.

Not only is it a very real possibilty (70-odd points the margin in the last encounter, Roos first game as coach), but it's a good '2-point' tip -- nearly everyone is tipping against us (see The Age and the Herald Sun).

What else would a girl do? Of course I tipped the Swans. I do it every week regardless. If I don't believe, how can I expect them to? And if they don't believe, how can they win?

It goes back to my fundamental ..... there's no point having a team if you don't cheer for them.
