Not really.
A 5pm flight Sydney to Melbourne will cost you $173 and you can change that flight and pay the fare difference if there is one. It's not hard. You either book a flight that allows you to change it or it doesn't.

exactly! part of the joy and excitement of sport is the dreaming of "what might be", of ultimate prizes
we're going to play finals (again!)
at the start of last season most of us thought it would be several long, hard years before we'd have any reason to dream of playing finals ... but we did last year and we're about to again
and until the finals start, we're entitled to dream just as much as geelong or melbourne fans ... geez, the dogs, richmond, carlton and st kilda are all still some hope of finals and their fans will have their dreams too
all this miserable crap, this mindset of "we're not good enough", what's the point? certainly, what's the point right now?
and to hose down dreams based on a game a month ago, whoever the opponent was, is bullsh1t as an argument in light of the past four games!
find one premiership winner of the past 20 years who didn't have one bad game, one inexplicable, frustrating loss
but even after saying all that, what gets me dreaming is how this swans team plays ... our best football this season is the best football this season ...
we bring that this finals series and it'll be us shattering everyone else's dreams
c'mon!!

- Kidding, right?
"Fecund" means "highly fertile". That's us, surely?
Yes that is a fair point, but don’t forget how powerful this board is. We became complacent for one week and let our guard down to chit chat about toasties.
And look what happened

Club doesn't have a huge amount of faith that we will make the GF. Have just announced the Club Champion Dinner for the Thursday of Grand Final week.

Ahhh nope. Grand Final is September 24 this year.
Well there you go!!! It seems every calendar known to man has the Vic GF holiday as the 30th of September, I just presumed it must have been that weekend.

I got caught out with that and work a few weeks ago
Also just realised that the day before the grand final is a public holiday in Melbourne... thats a fun fact

When in reality it is so people who work Mon-Fri can have a long weekend but those who actually work on GF Day can eat s**t

In the 5 weeks since that loss to Essendon, we've been the highest scoring team of the round twice, and the second highest scoring team twice. That's a pretty decent form line. Important to note that the large scores came against teams in the bottom 10, and the one game we didn't put up a big score was against a top 8 team, but it shows that we can hit the scoreboard, which is important going into finals. Most importantly, we've won the last 5.

82 points against one of the most defensive sides at their home ground is nothing to sneeze at either

Just taking a moment to let it sink in we are playing finals for the second year in a row.
The end of 2020 we were sitting in 16th with 5 wins. 2 years later we are contending for the flag. What a team!

Results to go our way this week (cuz we'll beat the Pies):
Carlton to beat Melbourne
St Kilda to beat Brisbane (lol)
West Coast to beat Freo (also lol)
Results to go our way next week:
Brisbane to beat Melbourne (cuz Melbourne's % is higher)
And we need do up our % ideally. We could VERY easily be going into the St Kilda game needing to make up x% to get back into 2nd after the weekends results. A bad result would be either Brisbane OR Melbourne flogging the other in the last round.
DREAM if we went into our game with St Kilda JUST needing to win, % irrelevant.

My predicted first round of Finals, I wasn't happy to see dogs make finals, but would be great to see Melbourne and Dogs drop out in first week of finals.

Worst case scenario (we lose by 60, everyone around us wins by 60) we finish 5th
