    All this while at least maintaining a core group to keep some sort of consistent team form.

    If they drop off Bird and maybe one of Ablett or Crouch for Vespa and MOD/Thornton then the match committee can maintain that they have kept to their word in playing what youngsters we have available at present. There is no need to play all the youngesters at once, especially if some are only getting a game for development.

    Facts are, if Schmidt, Laidlaw, Merideth, DOK, Johnston, Currie and Murphy were all injury free then you could reasonably epext these guys to be getting some game time as well but they are not.

      But for Mattner's tackle, they might have beaten us at the SCG.

        They were coming at us, but it wasn't a close win....I think we won by 19 points?

            Mattner's tackle saved us from going behind and all their momentum. We were in trouble and probably would have lost the game.

              If there was ever a time that all our players need to stand up it is this Sunday when MOL plays his 300th game.If we play hard and tough like last week we should easily beat the Tigers.

              MOL will be the first Swan to reach this milestone.He has given so much to his teamates and supporters over the years.Congratulations and good luck to him!

                We said this stuff before the Freo game. (not having a go)

                I'm taking a very cautious approach. I'd take a 1 point win as long as it's a win.

                  If we play hard and tough like last week we can beat anybody-watching last weeks game our remaining four opponents would have been @@@@ting themselves.
                  Hope we can pull the same against the (fill in your own expletive) pies next week

                  But for this week I believe the Boys will do everything they are capable of for Micky

                      Bugger forgot about that-still Cats seem to be getting a little tired (fingers crossed) Still same thing applies

                        i'm not overly surprised by this, but we've closed the gap fairly significantly. i've just had a look at sportsbet and they have richmond at $1.87 and the swans at $1.98.
                        i think this will be a close game - i'm going to be very hungover (i have a wedding on saturday), but i can't wait to ge at the G on sunday afternoon!

                          The rain and cold will help with that.

                              A game is a great way to get over a hangover, at least at the SCG, homebush does not have the same restorative powers, hope MCG does

                                Bottom of the ponsford stand will be where the majority of swans supporters will be.

                                If it rains then they will head to level 3 of the ponsford.
