    Anyone have any suggestions on how to get better ones or is it close to a sell out? (I’m only looking for 2x)
    I got two great seats in the medallion club area via gumtree when we came down for the Melbourne game for about 100 each and they were very good seats.
    I just had a quick look and I think the same bloke is selling a couple for next week

        Thanks for the tips, just got some off gumtree

        I went to every final we played in 2012 so let’s hope it’s a good omen

          Goal Sneak, I agree with Molly dooker. Clarke is a bruise free player. To his credit he has absolutely maximized what he has and has a solid role in the team. Ronke, Wicks and Campbell all have way more upside, but none have been able to really harness their talents like Clarke. Ronke is a wonderful crumbing forward with an electric ability to sneak goals. Wicks when he is fully in form can do everything clarke does but also has an ability to be electric and is a hard competitor, Campbell is just elite, silky smooth and always has time. I imagine if any of those three could sort themselves out they would be in the team above clarke any day. But again, full credit to clarke. He has earnt his spot. I do worry though in the tough physical environment of finals whether he can stand up. We saw Sinclair run off him pretty easily last week. Opposition teams will now have studied his tagging approach and will be adjusting.
          I just don't see that class you speak of in Wicks, he's tough he puts pressure on but to me he resembles an energiser battery that could do with a little more propping and changing direction, just a single step the other way and just taking a little more time and giving himself more time in order to make the right dish off choices .

            Wicks shouldn’t be considered at this stage- not good enough. Clarke can do a better job at tagging and doesn’t make me as nervous. Maybe Ronke if we do make a change?

              what does Gus have to do to be considered ? if its about age that is crap , have we forgotten what Chad and Errol were doing in their 2nd , 3rd games.?

              He has got the talent and he will work hard , that is what you need in finals .

                He probably can't do much more and wouldn't let us down. I'm just unsure who he would replace from a team that has won 7 straight.

                    I think most would be fine with Gus being picked as sub. He's showing plenty. I've made the comment that he needs a bit of time to develop a bigger tank but I now think he's got that ticked off. Who are the players you think he should replace? If you want him in the mids then I don't think there's anyone who deserves to lose their spot at this stage.

                        You frequently refer to Swans’ players as ‘duds’. Please don’t, it’s a pejorative term. No Swans’ player is deserving of that.

                          So, replacing Clarke?

                            A few? Who exactly? I'd be more than happy to have Gus as the sub.

                              As always a quality level of respect being shown for players that you don't like.....

                              I wouldn't be unhappy if he was the sub, likewise I'd be comfortable enough with Ronke or Campbell being given the guernsey either. All well in front of Wicks for the role in my opinion.

                              Talent alone wins you nothing in finals.

                                Dont know if it has been mentioned in here but Chad finished with the 2nd most coaches votes for us this year ! What a superstar , he is 21!and of course our fantastic captain Mills led the way .
