seven from eleven !!!!

If we can get through the first 10 games with 4 wins I think we're still in the hunt. We'll be getting some quality ins at that stage and the Dogs showed last year you don't need to be top 4 to win the premiership

I agree with the first sentence, as for the second one, we are not an 'AFL fairytale', so I think we'll be pushing @@@@ uphill there.......

[round 22 1977]

With such a even season 1st may lose 6 and 18th may win 6, 1995 Brisbane made the finals with only 10 wins , with % still ok and carlton twice this year











1st may lose 6 and last may win 6
4 losses and ok % ,10 wins and good % will be enough,brisbane 1995
carlton and hawthorn twice= 16pts and good %
roll on 2017

We should beat the saints twice and the hawks twice and by the time we play the Tigers they will be in disarray.

Richmond? Are you kidding? We have an annoying habit of losing to Richmond when we are favourites, and that makes them a serious bogey team. I would be marking that game as a loss in pen before we even play them, if they are still higher on the ladder. The last time we beat the Tigers when they were higher on the ladder was in Round 10, 2003 (Richmond started that season with 6 wins in 8 games but only won one more game for the year).

The difference is that we don't have the backing of the corrupt/incompetent umpires. The Bulldogs shouldn't have even made the GF let alone won it.

Good theory except we always struggle after a bye

Thought I'd look into this. We've really had byes only since 2011 (when GC started). Since then the Swans record after a bye is 0W 3L for away games, 3W 4L for home games. I doubt that it's "statistically significant", but there may be some truth to it.

Be interesting to look at other teams records in the same period.

How about 21 from 25?

I hope that remains the teams mindset, rather than just tanking.

Carlscum are getting smashed tonight so I am confident we will open our account next week.

Apparently they had 7 (or maybe it was 10) teenagers on the field so the result was a foregone conclusion.

Brisbane are playing really well against the doggies. Can't take them lightly!
