Matty Lloyd on the Channel 9 footy show this morning predicts us to play in a prelim final this year.....and I rate him as astute. Hopefully we can stay free of further injuries as now a top 4 is a real possibility.Comment

Def possibility but a tough run home. With our draw 1st half of the season we should be Top 2. Im predicting a 5-6 finish. I think the Pies and Eagles are morals. Then us, Hawks, Crows and Bombers all fighting it out. Wont be an easy end to the year!

I thought that the Swans are playing neater footy than the Pies/Eagles did in their game this weekend so not sure that you can say those two are certs (though you can if you live south of the Murray). The Crows were looking the best but certainly had their falling apart moment this weekend (think the Tigers for us). The Hawks and Bombers seem a bit more fragile than the rest of the front runners.
The Pies' forwards ability to take contested marks is wonderful to watch. I wish we could do the same (the way our backs can).
If you want to take a glass half full approach, we have a few games that could further boost our all-important percentage and a few that decide our destiny. There's no doubt that the Eagles, Pies and Hawks game are 8-pointers. If we win a couple of these and don't drop the games we should win then we should be Top 4 and having a shot at a Premiership. But, as I posted elsewhere, the gorilla on our back is our non-ability to beat the Pies - hopefully Horse v Bucks is a whole new proposition and we'll show them why we defeat other "flag favourites". Beat the Pies and I'll be organising my September. But go down to them again and they'll be fantasising that they get us in the GF.Comment

Completely agree with your sentiments here GS.
Though if we do get deep into September this year, with a bit of luck we may be able to avoid the Pies and leave them to someone else to (hopefully) dispose of, much like our total avoidance of Adelaide in the 05/06 finals series! Mind you we will also need a total avoidance of Adelaide again.....Comment

Sorry to say guys but Adelaide have the absolute softest draw from here and will probably finish top two. I think the weekends result for hem was an abberation.
Bad luck for us if we have to go over to Ferral Park and play them in a final with added impost of home town umpirig decisions which are rife when playing the Cows in Adelaide.
Percentage looks like being ultra important in deciding final positions this year so we have to keep the pedal to the metal whenever we are winning games and not drop off if we are losing a game.
And how's the critical games in the next few weeks, every week has two or three eight point games, this is a season like no other I can remember.Last edited by 707; 25 June 2012, 09:55 AM.Comment

Hopefully the Crows drop a couple to teams like the Tigers and the Power, then Freo and Brisbane later.Comment

GWS looked tired against Melbourne. I'm sure they'll lift for the derby but we need to keep building the percentage in games like this because we all know who we are still yet to play.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Yes I watched a bit of the GWS game in the second half and also thought they looked tired. I did noe they rested the dangerous Cornes and only had Power as a sunb yesterday so those two will be fresh against us.
I think a lot of their young players are starting to feel the effects of the contested style they play. We need to pressure them from the opening bounce, get some scoreboard pressure on and hopefully they drop off like they did against the "mighty" Tankers yesterday.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
