      Yeah. He can do a good one-on-one defensive job in a pinch though. I remember the Saints game last year when he played on Riewoldt. He beat Saint Nick comfortably (albeit with the help of the umpires, who must have thought it was opposite day). Not something we can rely on, however.

        yes, 15 making up the numbers, unless half the team break legs they might as well put Cats on the cup now, the rest is a formality, of course, that won't stop me turning up for Swans games and praying for a miracle

          What a load of bollocks.

          The beauty of our finals system is that the best team on the day will win. If we were in an EPL style competition, yes, give the Cats the cup now. But we're not. Collingwood have proven they are beatable and there's a cple of teams that are better than that mob.

          The New England patriots seemed to have it in the bag in the NFL earlier this year as well after going undefeated for the entire season before they got smacked in the super bowl. The Cats haven't even gone undefeated and yet everyone's prepared to give them the cup. WTF?

            A week is a long time in football. But the Cats are as classy an act as you will ever witness so if they don't win the flag in 08, they will have seriously under-achieved.

              The same could be (and has been) said of Adelaide over the last 5 years and Stkilda in the 5 before that.... How many Premierships have thay won in the last 10 years?

                You have proven to all and sundry that you don't know what you're talking about.
