Pressure Now On Crows

[The Big Cat]

But what if Freo upsets Geelong. They then have 2 games on the road.

Nope. WE play at home in our next final what ever the results

That's Freo has 2 on the road.

Yeah I would gives us a lot more chance of beating crows this week than geelong at skilled on Saturday. Adelaide are playing well but have obviously had an easier draw. Swans in my opinion are the better side but home ground advantage to even it up. 50/50 game in my opinion. Grundy if suspended would be disasterous against tippet/walker. We didn't play well against Geelong at all...only in small bursts. We didnt have any outside run and our trademark chain of handballs to players in space. Can't wait for Saturday. I think we would need to win to get to the Grand Final.

There is more than suggestion that Walker may not play.

Let's hope not. Would be a huge out. Walker more dangerous than Tippet in my opinion.

Not seen this? Injured?

Then it would be nice if Walker didn't play.

For the Record

Just for the Record- I believe that when we were level on Saturday and Geelong got awarded two free kicks in front of gaol (nothing usual about that) the boys shut up shop and played very conservative, as if I wont risk an injury thank you. I am exremely confident of winning on Saturday, in fact for the first time this year, I will place money on it. I am also very confident that only Hawthorn can stop us winning the flag, If we dont reach the GF, I will be very disappointed. We will see the Real Swans on Saturday Arvo. This will tell us if we are contenders or pretenders.

Not seen this? Injured?

Page 37 of the Herald Sun today in the finals teams summary under unavailabilty. Taylor Walker (hip). At least if he plays he goes in with a known injury.

Ok, hadn't seen it reported

Playing or not, for swans to win we need everyone to play near their best. We don't really have any superstars the way Goodesy has been playing of late. A champion team rather than a team of champions. When Jetta, Hanners, Kennedy, McGlynn, Bolton and Jack are all playing well simultaneously we are near unstoppable. W have just been lacking in the finishing off department. We lack a key forward (yes Reid will be great in 2 years) who can grab everthing that comes down and kick a bag. Even against Geelong we won the disposal count but just couldn't get any deep forward 50 entries and it was rebounded out too easily and created easy goals for Geelong. Jetta is great but is sooooo frustarting how soft he is. He looks almost scared at times and have seen him back out of contests etc when he should be going hard in a 50/50 contest. I know he is an outside player and there is not much of him but a couple of times when the ball was there to be won he has just stood there while an opposition player goes in hard and takes the ball away.

That was our mantra in 05 and 06, can't see why it couldn't be again this year.
