I?d argue that both Collingwood and the Hawks had to play at their very best to beat us. I?d also argue that we lost the game to Collingwood through poor kicking for goal as opposed to them actually winning it.
Re the tempo football argument ? during Hawthorn?s 6 goal 2nd quarter burst, and the final minute or so of the game, we were barely able to get our hands on the ball, which kind of makes the desire for tempo football redundant.
Still, they were mightily impressive. We can match it with anyone and having nothing to fear heading into the finals. We?re as good a chance as any.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Sitting where they are and what they have achieved this year, this is a massive opportunity to win another Granny this year. Longmire knows it, the players know it and we all know it... A bit of good fortune with injuries from now on, some really good coaching, the rub of the green, some fair (dinkum) umpiring... and composure under pressure (maybe the most critical factor).
The recent article by Gary Lyon about The Swans is a testament to where they are at.

Made the comment on the other forum that we set up entirely offensively for those last few centre bounces. Pushed the HB line right up towards the wings, had no one in the middle covering the defensive side. I can understand why they did that for the last one, where we desperately needed a goal (though not so desperately that we couldn't have afforded to be a bit more conservative - there was still a minute to play). I have no idea why we set up like that when we had the lead, though.
At the moment, our attacking setup has the opposition clearing taps they decisively win down to their midfielders, as well as pretty 'neutral' taps that really should be 50/50 balls.Comment

I know the boys are giving this year everything they've got.
We've got an awesome opportunity this season. I don't think we need to fear any team. We've proved we can match it with Pies, Hawks and Crows. The one unknown is a full strength West Coast but I'd argue we would again match them quite well.
Who knows how long we will have Goodes, Jude, Shaw and ROK.Comment

One thing is for sure... no one gives up a lead like the Swannies!!!
Bit disappointed with that.
Gotta play the full four quarters at this time of the year.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

If those 4 plus Mattner are going to be part of the team that holds up our next premiership cup it can only be this year or the next and this year we are in with such a good chance. No doubt they will be very focussed and determined. It will just need cool heads in the critical crunch times to get them over the line.
Potential upsides from Sat. are Goodsey, Jets and Reid - as well as improvement in the spread of the forwards, more precision in delivery to them and the talls taking more contested marks. That should just about get us there!

we are either so close to a finals or GF win or we are miles away
the difference maybe only a goal or a behind !"be tough, only when it gets tough"

And I reiterate what I said. We are the number 1 defensive side in the comp and we have let through 8 unanswered goals in 20 minutes against Geelong when the game was evenly poised and there for the taking.
Genuine contenders don't let this happen and this is the 7th time
this year this has occurred. We have now lost to Adelaide, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong who are the top sides in the running.
I don't see anyone beating the hawks this year.
The initial thread wasnt being negative. It was stating the facts and being realistic. We are getting belted in the clearances in short spaces of time that either let sides back in the game or let the game slip away. This is not the quality of a premiership team imo. We have improved vastly from
last year and should take a lot of positives from the year.
We will need to pull something out of the bag in the finalsLast edited by Hazcam; 1 September 2012, 10:19 PM.Comment

We've just finished 3rd for the year.
If we put together a 4 quarter effort next week and win, which I suspect we will, we'll have a week off then a prelim in Sydney....
What will you be saying then?
Footy fortunes can change very quickly, and often do, on one good result....
Most fans can only dream of their team being in the top 4.....We're up to our necks in it, lighten up and enjoy it.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

I'm thrilled we've finished top four in the H&A, it's a very commendable result. I just think Hawthorn are a cut above this year.Comment

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.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.

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.
