    This is assuming current form and no major additions to the injury list.
    Agree with the sentiment, though we'll probably lose one of the 3 people are talking about.

    5-2 over the 7 games.

      Why?

      That's a stupid idea, particularly given Baz will be out for at least 6-8 weeks with his wrist.

        Can you imagine the hysteria at Subiaco!

        Obviously the toughest game in there is Geelong. All others are winnable. North could be 50/50, especially given our form at Telstra Dome the last couple of years.

          I'm only putting a loss against the Roos, because of our record at TD is all over the place and against the Roos down there, we haven't been that lucky in the past. I'll be at the match so I'm hoping it'll be a win.

          Also putting a loss for PA because like the Roos the form is all over the place and well the Weagles, hell anything could happen in that match.

              They've only been good for 12 years, cruiser. Before that they were crap. Before that they were South.

                Ye who have VERY little faith. Basically what you are saying is that the Swans can't win on the road. For the record, the Swans' recent road record stands since Paul Roos took over as coach as:
                31 wins/ 31 losses/ 1draw

                    It's all in their heads. Depends how the side reacts. We could bomb from here and lose our next 5. Anything is possible.

                    My money is on Baz for 8 weeks out now it has been referred direct to the tribunal.

                      Agree.

                      Are you an old South Melb supporter who still hasnt got use to supporting a good football team?
                      Um no.

                      I'm looking at our stats at TD which hasn't been that crash hot, hence why I put the loss.

                      And with Port you never know how they'll play - one week they win, the next they lose, so it depends which team turns up on the day. Regarding WC, well they'll be after our blood for that game.

                      I have no doubt we can win those three matches on the road, but if those three opponents turn up at their best and have their full strength teams playing then we could find ourselves losing.

                        None of those games looks easy. On their current form, the Dogs are going to cause a few headaches. They've been much better at contests this year and if they even break even with us on that score, they have the footspeed and skill level to cause a few problems.

                        Essendon's speed, too, will test the Swans, though I think they'll cope less well than the Dogs with the pressure that the Swans will try to apply.

                            If we can win our home games and beat Richmond away, then we will be in a very strong position should Hall return in round 13 fit and ready to play.

                                Why do they do the draw this way now? I know it switched to this format prior to last year's season but it's silly to be playing some teams twice in the first few weeks of the season and not playing others at all until near the end. The teams we play twice are tough enough without having to start playing them a second time before we get to some of the weaker sides.
