Geez, why bother even watching?

I don't understand why anyone would be writing off finals in February

Whichever way you look at it, our list is not in great shape going into the season, which is a result of a combination of bad luck and poor management.
Not sure if I would write off finals, but the probability would seem to be low. The reality is that we are quite a way behind the leading teams now in the quality of our 'A' list and depth and quality of 'B' players.
I honestly hope I am proven a miserable pessimist rather than a realist.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

A few of the geriatrics are recovering ... I'd rather have no Leo Barry or Micky O in Round 1 than have them miss Round 18 when it matters.
I'm looking very forward to seeing the youngins having a run around. Jack should be pumping and ready to go, Reg, Schmidt, Barlow - these guys have enough experience now to make or break ... I'm looking forward to big things.
Shaw ... couldn't be worse as Davis as a recruit from the wobbles (IMHO), but you never know - could be a whole lot better than Willo!!
If McHack can keep up his stellar peformance like last year, Goodesy as captain - Kirk, B2, Mattner ... even B1. There's still plenty of talent on our list.
There are heaps and heaps and heaps of positives.Last edited by AnnieH; 17 February 2009, 09:11 AM.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I like how we've gone overnight from being too old to missing the experience of senior players.
Barry injury leaves Swans in trouble - AFL - Fox Sports
Barry's injury is another setback for the Swans who have already unexpectedly lost the vast experience this year of Nic Fosdike, who retired because of an on-going knee injury, and Tadhg Kennelly, who retired with a year of his contract remaining to return to Ireland.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Let them write us off.

Of course i'd want to make finals, but would it really be the end of the world if they didn't after 6 straight years in them and a premiership? I think swans supporters have been quite spoilt from 1996 onwards bar 2000 and 2002 (where they even won 8 -10 games for memory in those seasons) and the thought of potentially having 1 bad year is freaking people out!Comment

It's one thing for the clueless media and opposing supporters write us off, it's another when our own supporters are sticking the boot in, without a minute of football being played.
I personally think this year is going to be very exciting, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.Comment

I cant believe some people here. We will easily make the 8, somewhere between 5-8 I believe, and with a little luck a top 4 spot is not out of the question.Comment

Boring football
I hope the football in the season proper is a bit better than what we have to watch in this NAB cup or whatever it is called. It's like basketball! No time to appreciate anything,no time to watch two guys go for a mark, just one end to the other ,your turn then ours unless you turn it over. When they changed the rules ,they screwed the game. How will we cope with this?Comment

We will play some crap footy this year, but hopefully begin to see the core of the next premiership side.Comment
