    Autopsy Swans vs Geelong SF 2017 [READ OP BEFORE POSTING]

    I'm not denying any of that. It was a wasted opportunity to go deeper into the finals. The players have to live with it all off-season, hopefully it serves as motivation.

    Past Gary Rohan (Missing: report any sightings to the Geelong physio) - traded 2018, to Geelong

    Rohan's MIA effort (he was poor, although he was not alone) continues a worrying trend on the big stage. The two recent GFs he was non-existent as well. The highlight reel in the regular season is great, but in reality we need more output.

    Autopsy Swans vs Geelong SF 2017 [READ OP BEFORE POSTING]

    Geelong played well. We couldn't catch a cold. This is what happens sadly when you don't hit your targets.

    Game Day Semi Final 2017: Cats vs Swans

    Got super nervous reading the OP! Let's do this. Swans by 22.

    No Oppo Supporters 2017 General AFL Discussion

    We'll have to disagree on that one. The "product" that the AFL produces (game quality/match day experience/professionalism of TV presentation/season fixture/drafts/club membership/media) IMO greatly outstrips that of the NRL.

    Try the NRL if you think the AFL is bad!

    Past Dean 'The Difference' Towers - delisted 2018. COMING SOON - The Festival of Deano

    He was fantastic on the weekend. Well done to him. If the players at the 'bottom end' of our list are performing like that, we will be hard to stop.

    Opinion Swans in the Finals, lets get realistic

    Yep I would be very keen for Richmond to get up this coming week, then return to the "Richmond of old" in the prelim for some laughs. Geelong in Week 2 @ the MCG, then hopefully a prelim @ ANZ against the Giants - I'm liking it.

    Opinion Swans in the Finals, lets get realistic

    I agree with the OP. We have, on paper, a brutal finals draw. Much tougher than 2016. If the top ranked team in each of the opening week matches win, we have a tough road to GF Day - Richmond match up against us well and have a good record, and a potential prelim in Adelaide would be white hot...

    I know footy is not an athletics carnival, but gee those foot races with Jetta involved - in particular the run to an open goal vs Collingwood, 2012 Prelim, and the following week vs Rioli - not often will everyone in the whole stadium rise to their feet. Well done Jets. We loved your work!

    Prediction Walking the tightrope - The Run Home

    Yeah probably the most dangerous team of the potential opponents.

    Preview R21, 2017: Sydney Swans vs. Fremantle Dockers

    If we can't win this in our current form something is amiss!

    Prediction Walking the tightrope - The Run Home

    Without sounding arrogant I think with our % it is hard to miss the eight now. If we don't win 1 of our remaining three we don't deserve to be there, I am pretty comfortable we will get the 2 at home - and see what happens in Adelaide. I do think the top 4 is gone though. We're a game and a...

    Game Day Swans vs Cats

    Well this is a huge night at the footy. Given we have Carlton and Freo at home, which I am banking on as wins, this is the game to ensure playing finals. Doesn't get much bigger. Go Swans!

    The Brewongle Stand should be renamed for Adam Goodes

    1-2 games a year for retro/rivalry rounds.

    Coach John Longmire

    I will freely admit that when the Roos-Longmire transition occurred, I wasn't too happy - mainly because I was wedded to what Roosy did for the club. In hindsight that was me clinging to that rosy period for the club which culminated in the ultimate success after more than seven decades. Horse...

    Past Zak Jones - traded 2019, to Saints

    Really good news! He was quite poor last week but has been a leading light this season. Impressed by his hardness around the footy. He needs to bring that this week.

    Past Kurt Tippett - retired 2018

    Straight back in IMO.

    Autopsy Swans vs Hawks (R19, 2017)

    Shades of the 0-6 start to the year for me. Too many players (especially mids) not firing. I realise JPK was injured, shame for a milestone match. But Hanners and Parker were too quiet, and our ball movement was really poor (especially the inside 50 entry). Lloyd was badly missed, such a shame...

    Prediction Walking the tightrope - The Run Home

    Some pretty handy results with Melbourne and StKilda losing. To drop our game but stay in 6th is a good result for the weekend (well, as good as possible with losing!) The two home matches are of course must-wins, and then 1 from 2 on the road does the trick.

    Opinion Should we have a team in the women's league?

    I think we should, and will, in time. Not sure if Henson Park is an option, if the surface was improved. The men use it as for their intra match; location wise it is a winner.

    Not a tightrope anymore. All in our own hands.

    Prediction Walking the tightrope - The Run Home

    The Saints are a potentially tough opponent, but flaky - their best is excellent, but who knows which version will turn up? The hardness the Swans have got in their game at the moment will not allow them (IMO) to be overrun unless the Saints are absolutely on their A-game.

    Prediction Walking the tightrope - The Run Home

    4 from 6 now to ensure finals footy... quite remarkable given we needed 13/16 :thumbsu:

    Autopsy Round 17 2017 Sydney Swans vs Greater Western Sydney Giants. Things you learnt

    Fantastic tough win. Probably the best win of the year given the opposition (despite being down on form recently), moment of the season and momentum for the final six weeks. 6th after Rd 17, goodness me. Here we come :thumbsu:
