Approaching the finals?

[Wil]

Well with the talk here and us being favourites for this match, if history means anything, then it looks like the Swans will lose.

We won't crush the Roos. When was the last time we played against a team that has a backbone? Adelaide?

Lets just hope for two wins in a row, without any injuries. And a good showing at the MCG.

If the ladder positions remain unchanged, the odds are good that we will meet the Kangas in the finals in Sydney in the second week. Therefore, it is important that we win and win well.

If the ladder positions remain unchanged we shouldn't be playing at all in week two!

Watching the video of the Brisbane win last night for the first time, it was hard to recognise that this was the same team that went down to the Saints in an error-riddled game in R10. Our ability to get the ball to a player in space with sure passes and excellent kicks was remarkable.

Presuming we win one of the next two games, we'll be in the Top 4. How do you want us to approach the finals? Should we rest players (as has been suggested elsewhere) or should we try new positions (like Schneider as a back) or blood some new players in case there are injuries?

Should we aim to crush the Roos and the Hawks and possibly risk injuries? Or should we cruise?

Some interesting questions there Go Swannies,

I don't we can afford to cruise against the Roos and if we cruise against the Hawks,they may come around to bite you!

I don't believe in resting players in semis and we could try new positions if we can afford to do so aswell.

I don't get it. I think we will struggle against Roos but other people say, "Dude, you'll win like that!".

I reckon you're right Ban - it'll be a slog. But we should be able to win.

Well, I guess I could proofread my contributions before I post. But not adds a random element (esp. with my typing).

There is a chance we may finish 3rd now, and still have to travel to Perth in Week one of the finals!!

So if that happens WC would be comming off a 2 game losing streak while we'd be on a 4 game winning streak.

GOOD STUFF!!!

If the Swans make me look foolish every week I will be a very happy man! Did that win over the Kangaroos represent a "crushing"? Yeah! It did!

Now we just need Jude Bolton to win the BOG at the Grand Final and O'Keefe to kick 6 goals against Adelaide in Adelaide and I will be bloody happy
