The final countdown - 3 games remaining

[Maltopia]

True, but my thinking is their real challenge comes towards the end when they'll have players back, Blues and Dees are both home games, and they have a substantial percentage lead on us. But agree, still a possibility.

But it won't matter if we have one or more Jekyll and Hyde performances and lose games we 'should' win. Adelaide have improved recently so we need to not take them for granted, then it is only four more games to navigate.

OWAAT.

In any event, still feels like the Bombers loss will come back to haunt us.

[bloodspirit]

I think if we win all our remaining games we'll find our way into the top 4 some how. However winning them all, even if we start as favourites in all of them, won't be easy, particularly given our inconsistency.

[i'm-uninformed2]

It feels like a big guessing game, particularly with forecasts of COVID being at its peak in August. Not saying that in a panicked way about COVID or doom'n'gloom re the Swans, just it'll throw a wildcard into the competition.

Does feel like the Swans have increased their intensity since Bombersgate. And are peaking at the right time (famous last words)

[KTigers]

Yes, I'd like to think Bombersgate has put the wind up our guys. Also, winning usually means there are few changes to the team week to week
(except for injuries) so competition for spots is tight. The bottom six need to be on their best behaviour to keep theirs. We can win the last
five games and open up the chance for a home final. And we've beaten three of the current top four on the ladder.
I'm feeling increasingly bullish.

we could also finish 7th, get to a GF.......and win via 3 free kicks to us for every 1 that the opposition is awarded........ lol ????

Agree. I have the feeling it might be the catalyst for more consistent and solid performances in the same way Geelong’s loss to North was in 2007. Or at least I hope it is…,.

Buckley on SEN has us as finishing 3rd ahead of Brisbane, Collingwood 5th and Freo dropping to 6th.

So he is picking us to win all our games, Brisbane to drop one with large percentage (or to drop two games) and Freo to drop 1-2 more.

Would mean we play Melbourne in week 1, which I don’t mind at all.

Edit: Andrew McGarry at the ABC also has us as third to play Melbourne, but Freo in fourth, then Brisbane.

The big issue I see is that I don't see us winning 7 games in a row. The team has just been so inconsistent this year, albeit moving in an upwards trajectory.

Looking at the schedule this week, I think that almost any of the teams can win their fixture so wouldn't be surprised if there's a curveball or two yet to play out in the race for top 4.

The big surprise for me in the last couple of weeks is the form of Geelong without Stewart.

Way too many permutations to even try to guess at final ladder positions. Weather and Covid could also play a big role in results.

We will finish in the top 4 if we don't drop any more games, so it's up to us.

So many games will be watched, with interest in the outcome for our position, and it starts Friday night!

We just need to take it one week at a time

[dejavoodoo44]

We just need to take it one week at a time

Although, we will have to give it 110%.

Although, we will have to give it 110%.

Just need to keep putting together four quarters of consistent football
