    What do you consider to be the key mid-season indicator for a Swans's flag in 2005?

    It's not on the poll, but for mine it will be a Subiaco win because it shows you can strut your stuff anywhere.

    Port did it the best in 2004 at Subi!

    Defeating the Lions during the regular season and gutsy wins over Port Adelaide mean nothing, as we learned in 2003.

      I will be looking more at just how we throw ourselves into games. I want big wins, where we totally tear weak opposition apart and really going on with leads and when we have to lose, close tough losses.

      I would also hope we haven't dropped a game at home.

        I think it's the 100% in Sydney. No point winning the big interstate games only to let the ones at home get away.

          Agree with Damien, we need home wins.

            Depends on other things of course, but I think a win in a big game at the MCG is important. We have struggled to do that nearly every season and it's necessary to do so to win the flag. It shows also we can play under pressure, on a big ground, away from home.

                Top of the ladder after round 11 with no losses in Sydney or Melbourne.

                No injuries to our best players.

                    BH, MOL, ND, ROK (in any order) leading the AFL goal tally

                    BK leading the possession count as well as the tackle count

                    AG leading the marks count (and with zero clangers)

                    The team last on the clangers count (preferably zero but that might be asking too much)


                    Yeah, I know......"Tell him he's dreaming!"

                          Sort of been close to that before - a bit meaningless really.

                            The Swans being anywhere between 1-4 place on the ladder and playing solid footy,being consistant.A good winning percentage at home will make it easier.
                            Well done Craig Bolton for getting the co- captaincy in 2008.

                            Your determination,your tenacity and your under-rated skill is why you have become my favourite player!
