    Tough start to 2008....

    Just had a closer look at our draw for 2008. Anyone who thinks we're going to get off to a flyer theis year is kdding themselves....

    Rd 1
    7:10PM - Telstra Dome
    St Kilda Vs Sydney Swans

    Rd 2
    Sunday 30 March 2008
    1:10PM - Sydney Cricket Ground
    Sydney Swans Vs Port Adelaide

    Rd 3
    Saturday 5 April 2008
    7:10PM - Brisbane
    Brisbane Lions Vs Sydney Swans

    Rd 4
    Saturday 12 April 2008
    7:10PM - ANZ Stadium
    Sydney Swans Vs West Coast Eagles

    Rd 5

    Geelong Vs Sydney Swans

    Rd 6
    Sunday 27 April 2008
    2:10PM - Telstra Dome

    Personally, I reckon we could easily be 0-6.

    This has got to be our worst opening draw for a long time.

    What does everyone else think?

      Are you for real ??
      Have some faith in the boys , gee they have given us a hell of a ride lately and its not time to jump ship !! Dont think of the worst.
      We still can be highly competive in whats a highly competitive competition. Go through the rest of the draw and you could say it doesnt get in easier as well !!

          The competition is so even that no game looks easy.

          And if we are not good enough to beat around half those teams (especially at home) we are not good enough to finish top 8. Don't believe the start to the season is any more or less important than the subsequent 16 H&A rounds.

              So I'm the only one that believes momentum and confidence are imprtant factors... Especially to a team like the Swans?

                          It's probably going to be a slow start again this year but I think they'll win at least 3 games in the first 6 rounds.
                          I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore

                                  I reckon we will beat Port Adelaide and West Coast, and at least one of the other four games, maybe Brisbane. Wouldn't surprise me if we knock off St. Kilda in Round 1.

                                              We already have the formula for that. Bring back Ryan Fitzgerald to kick five million on debut and Micky O gets off to a flyer for his highest Brownlow polling year.

                                              Roos has to go to assistant coach but.


                                              I've got to stop watching those old games during the off season. I'm starting to have touble differentiating between reality and dreamland.

                                              Back on topic. I was looking at the draw yesterday to see if I could get some flights on the Virgin sale that is on and it didn't strike me as being unduly hard as compared to the rest of the draw. Some pundits have us slipping really badly but I'm a blind believer. Logic has no place in my life(except for paying the mortgage)

                                                  I've already got the Swans and you can keep Rudd.

                                                          Never mission impossible until the season kicks in.

                                                          There will be teams that shock, teams that start slow, teams that get moving later in the year. We could be 6-0 as easily as we could be 0-6.

                                                          I think 2008 is going to be a ridiculously even year with about 12 to 13 sides in contention for the Top 8 deep into the season.
