What is an acceptable finish for the Swans in 2005

[dread and might]

Does anyone else feel like we would have to be lucky to win the GF if we made it there in 2005?

Obviously a bit of an obscure question because we may have been in great form all year and go in as favourites but......

i just get the niggling feeling that if we were to pull off the dream, it would be a case of more a$$ than class.

(i would still take it of course)

maybe this is a sign that i don't believe we are good enough deep down

We have to finish AT LEAST top 6 in my view to have a reasonable year.

We are capable of winning the premiership if we have a sensational run with injuries. A significant injury to either the likes of Hall, Shaubs, Goodes, Barry etc. could make it virtually impossible to go all the way.

Having said that though, I have a feeling it is going to be a good year in 2005.

Good to see some thinking outside the square.

I can't help being impressed with Roos. I believe he'll lead us to a premiership.

We have a strong squad with more depth than I can remember in the past 25 years, and a decent smattering of 'game-breakers' to get us home in the tight finishes.

I'm especially impressed by the fact that players like Fixter, Buchanan, Fosdike, LRT, McVeigh, Ablett, and Doyle will only get a senior game when and if we get injuries to our best 22. This means that we ought to be able to sustain good form for much longer sequences, and not have our finals series crippled by players carrying injuries.

This strength also means that we can afford to 'carry' youngsters like McVeigh, Dempster, Malceski, Willoughby and Schmidt - giving them the odd senior hitout without putting too much pressure on.

Unfortunately, it's hard to see players like James, Powell, Sundqvist getting even close to a senior game in 2005.

While this bodes very strongly for the future, I think 2005 might be the last chance for Ball, and possibly Maxfield, Williams and Nicks as well.

That's what makes me think that 2005 could be a bumper year for the Swans.

credit where credit is due
that is pretty ********en good Nolie
