Well by the end of Round 8, we will know what the future of the season will hold.
However should we lose to the top 3, you can't predict what would happen with injuries in other teams and form slumps. You would expect losses to Cats and Dogs and possible chance against Lions.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate. -
We're on fire. It can only get better.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

While we should never count the cygnets before they hatch I believe a quiet optimism is not unwarrantedComment

Yes, we have beaten the bottom 3 sides but they were with margins appropriate for thoses teams. So when we play other teams we can have the confidence that they have to be at least 40 points better than crows, tigers and roos + our confidence. And with a bit of luck we would have been 4 zip._______________

We are in the top three, wont play the saints again during the home and away, Loins are in good form but so are we, I'd say we are at least on par to the Cats, Dogs we are playing on what may as well be a home ground for us. Yes we have had a 'softer' start to the season than others but it has worked for us, we?re three from four with two away wins, a key player who did not have a pre season has had time to gel with the team, the old guard are playing with skill and style, new recruits are proving why chose them in the first place

It took him bloody long enough. I had a long conversation with him at a Christmas party over two years ago. He was adamant that the Swans were on the way down and wouldn't make the finals in 2008. We did and even advanced to R2. He knows the Swans well - a corporate friend has even sung the team song with him late into a birthday party - but he still has Melbourne blinkers that miss any talent across the border that isn't one Jon Brown.
So a month into the comp he's worked out that Roos isn't going to go out with a whimper but rather having a real tilt at finals and handing over a very strong team for Horse to take into the 2011 season. I hope Horse's first task will be defending our Flag.Comment

Roos has given him a few over the years for his assessments of the Swans at the start of the season.
At least he's learnt to pull his head in quickly these days.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

So yeah I would say we are on par with themComment

My memory tells me in the past 2 years we have beaten the Dogs in 6 of the 8 quarters at Manuka.
Trouble is, the 2 quarters we lost (the 2nd quarter both times) have been by about 20 goals.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment
