but i stand by my original comment in the sense that i dont visualise any loss, i know its very very very unlikely we will win every game, but i am not going to nominate games we will lose, just deal with them as they happen

Seems reasonable.

(if we dont lose a game you should send me a postcard from mars! :P)

Yeah, what Scott said. Maybe an email instead!

What an amazing site! Thank goodness someone has more spare time than I have. Truly the geeks shall inherit the earth....

It's good, but it couldn't tell me if Higgins and Capper were both playing for the Swans at the same time.

I love everyone's enthusiasm!

But please make sure, some of you don't start bagging the coach, team and the structure if we lose a couple of games on the trot!

Pure coincidence but I was thinking this morning of starting a thread about how all sides are beatable this year. I'm not yet convinced that it will be by the Swans 2005 but the season is wide open.

Port and the Lions certainly look far from unbeatable. Injuries and age in one case, and attitude in the other. So it comes down to the pretenders. Everyone seems to have the Cats, Weagles, Ainst and maybe, Dees in that camp. No reason why we can't be there too. I think the current Swans lineup can do it - and I don't think Willo or Stewie will ever have a premiership if it isn't this year. But our structure is the best it could be. Great forward line and lots of height and talent in the back. It just comes down to two things. Can our midfield produce throughout the year (and last weekend that looked far from sure) and can Roos come up with a master plan that will carry us through (and that also remains unproven)?

Of course, injury can unravel all this. Imagine if Baz and Ball were injured this weekend. . . But this year it could happen. If so, we could become the next powerhouse of the AFL. I think everyone is expecting that will be the Aints but I think we have more heart if not more talent. And the Lions have shown what heart (and mongrel) can achieve.

LOL! I dont see why we're stopping at 18 wins though. I personally think that all games are winnable, so we could finish with 22 wins and be top of the ladder. Then we can get home ground advantage all the way to the GF, which means 24 wins on the trot, which makes us unbackable favourites to win the GF. Too easy.

don't let any of the other clubs know our plan!! how do we get this to roos and his men without being discovered?

R15 1901
Essendon 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 9
Sydney 2.2 5.5 6.9 10.9 69

Now that would,ve made for a good % had it been Rd1

Who remembers the game when we played Essendon and we won by 200 or so pts?

The Our score was 236 and the year was 1987!!

Highest Score: 36.20.236 v Essendon 11.7.73; round 17, 1987, Sydney Cricket Ground

Barry, perhaps you should be down in the bottom of the garden with rest of the fairies, and I am not talking about human fairies.

18 wins is very fanciful.

Spot on.

I think this year we will/should win 16 games.

Nico your negative vibe will affect the players. Dream, believe, achieve.
