Re: What I'm afraid of this week...
Yes questions will need to be asked but not in all situations.Originally posted by eirinn
I've been thinking alot about that Gerard Healy article, in which he said, of our loss in the preliminary final of 2003, "It was an opportunity lost but, given the success of the year, it seemed to be accepted without a full examination of why it happened." If we lose this weekend, will we do the same thing again?
We need to win this week, then back that up and win again next week. Anything less is failure. Again.
In 2003 we were playing at home, with a weeks rest and lost. Granted we played one of the greatest teams of the last 100 years but the game was perfectly set-up for us to ice it and move into a GF.
This year things are different, we are away from home playing a team everybody rated as the pre season flag favourite.
If the boys come out on Friday night, play a blinder and go down swinging then I will feel we have given it our best shot but were beaten by a better team on the night.
I am sure in that situation Gerard would still want to look at the reasons why and fair enough, but he will have to acknowledge that we were just not up to it.

I can't accept that we have finished "fourth after the finals" if we lose this weekend and St Kilda go on to win the flag - surely Adelaide/WCE would be fourth after losing to the team that went on to lose the GF? Not that it matters since we won't lose, will we?

2 out of 40 ain't great odds.Originally posted by Sanecow
Unfortunately they are both proof that you might well get another chance.Comment

40? Well if you want to consider the whole list, a large number of the Swans' 1996 list have had finals experience in the years since. Grant, Licuria and Rocca have all actually played in Grand Finals since 1996. It's a lot better than 2 in 40 if you care to do your homework.Originally posted by Rizzo

Well, I'm satisfied!Originally posted by Chubby Muffler
I agree as well. If we do not at least make the GF then we have not moved foreward in 3 years. We lose Ball after this year, now is the time for us to do it. It would be shattering to think we have to go into next year once again having finished close but with no banana.
Not wanting to go on a Footyhead style rant, but Roos is getting to the business end of the "5 Year Plan" or whatever it was. It is time. Gimme gimme gimme!
