      Actually, I don't think we would have. If we couldn't do it tonight, we wouldn't have got close next week. This loss will, however, give them a lot to think about over summer and we will not be short of motivation next year.

      BTW, Andy Maher's interview with Kirk made me die a little on the inside. Excruciating. Went something like this.

      How do you feel?

      You let a 30 point lead slip, how does that feel?
      I'm gutted
      End of your career, how does that feel

        2011 Preliminary for sure. The 20 guys played their guts out tonight.

          Brett Kirk feels exactly the same way, according to the post-match interview.

          I will miss him.

            1/ Benny McGlynn deserves the tough cookie medal for relentless play whilst his face is still sore and bruised
            2/ @@@@ I'm going to miss Kirky
            3/ Tonight showed why we need serial pest Jesse White
            4/ Jetta needs to put some weight on so he can tackle effectively
            5/ we really really need to work on the goal/behind ratio
            6/ We have a very bright future ahead of us.


            We lost intensity and focus but realistically we have done better that we ought (speaking for the whole season)

            Bring on 2011
            That's the most important point and I agree 100%. We're quietly building a midfield that rivals Geelong at the height of their dominance. It wouldn't surprise me if we have the best midfield of 2011, all the key pieces will age and peak together. We will have no major weakness which is the key to being an elite team. We're even developing players who have speed and athleticism in Jetta, White and Rohan so a year from now the MCG won't be our kryptonite. Swans fans have a lot to be excited about even as we're disappointed about what happened tonight.

              No we wouldn't have beaten Saints, but I think we are a better side than what we showed tonight.

                    Sorry to quote your post twice, but I just read the whole thing... I thought exactly the same about the interview. Stupid @@@@ing questions

                      Terrific year... 6-7 weeks ago we were dead in the water. To earn a home final and make it into the 2nd week of finals is a wonderful effort. The future looks so bright for this wonderful club and my heart felt thanks go out to Roos and Kirk for leaving us in such a terrific state. The B&F is the next order of business where I will toasting to a great year.

                          I must be dumb. Not sure what you mean unless it was a reference from last week. In which case I would say you need to get over it and stop playing the man

                              Al - are you going. Maybe this will be the chance to have a beer (or two) with you? Can you PM your mobile no? Or do I find you through Wardy?
