Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
Depends on your aspirations.
I'll be barracking hard and loud for the Saints this weekend. If they beat the Eagles, there remains an outside chance of us finishing above our bitter rivals.
If we're relying on the Saints to lose to guarantee a finals spot, we're truly doomed this season. To limp into the finals by losing the next two games would be a disaster.Comment

What we need
We need to win both games. If we do then we jump both Collingwood and Hawthorn. Then to make the top four we need Port Adelaide to lose both games ( - at Skilled against the Cats and at AAMI against the dockers) or the Kangaroos to lose one game (Carlton TD ha ha, or Bullies at TD -unlikely) or maybe the WCE to lose both (STK in Melb and Ess at home!).
Best chance if PA. Dockers did beat Adel at AAMI a few weeks ago and they're a better side than PA.
My head says we'll finish fifth at best.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Unconfirmed reports that Kerr is gone with a ruptured finger for the rest of the year.
While 5th will be hard to make the GF, win our first one at home and Port in Adleaide, Hawks in Melbourne or West Coast (with Kerr out and Judd only 50%) in Perth are all games that the team are capable of winning.
Just need to avoid Geelong before the GFas the only team at present that can beat them are themselves (which is possible come GF day knowing their history).

I can now see your point. With Kerr out probably for the season, and Judd and Cousins under a cloud, West Coast certainly will struggle against St Kilda in Melbourne.
You would have to predict them however to knock off the Bombers in Perth the following week. That said, the emotion of Kevin Sheedy's last game might well lift Essendon to victory.
So here's the equation:
West Coast back to back wins guarantees a Swans top 8.
West Coast back to back losses (with Sydney winning their two games) guarantees a Swans top 4.Comment

Just need West Coast to beat Essendon in Round 22 in Perth, and come what may we are in the Final 8Comment

If we need to be assisted to make finals, there is little point in being there (and we won't be there for long).Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Lowest we can finish is 9th, highest right now 6th, although that will become 7th if Hawthorn win today. Go Doggies (gawd, I dont think I have the emotional stamina to watch that game and get worked up about the Dogs winning it).Occupational hazards:

The only way we can get knocked out of the 8 is if Bombers win their final 2 games(one against WC) and we lose to Hawthorn.
I see it but I don`t beleive.I`ll be cheering for WC next week if the Bombers win today.Even Santa follows the Swannies.Comment

If the Tigers were to win today, then we would be assured a top 8 berth. In fact we will know BEFORE we play next week whether we need to beat the Hawks or not to make the 8
If we in fact are assured a top 8 finish going in to the Hawthorn game, it might be a good opportunity to rest a good number of the boys, give them the extra week break to help get over all the niggles that seem to be plaguing us right now and throw some young fellas into the team and give them a taste of AFL.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
