Cannot believe some of the tripe being spoken on here in this thread. Sydney supporters putting the horse before the cart, Freo supporters believing they are better than they actually are, Hawthorn supporters playing their chances down and being a smidgen humble & Port supporters looking for love. Pathetic all of you. Yes all of you !

well that is the consensus
10 straight wins and a higher percentage despite our poor start to the season
was that honestly a controversial point to you?
No, the controversial point is they're taken aback by how much you are a muppet. Maybe you do believe your team is better, great you've got good faith and support well. But good gracious I bet you some bucks that your fellow Swan supporters think you're an embarrassment.

I have never seen him post or get involved on the Swans board is that a sign :p?
That's usually the clincher for me yeah. We have a few of our own like that who bob up with ridiculous inflammatory posts on the main board and are never seen on our own one.

Swans v Freo Grand Final.......lock it in.
All I know is that my mate has two freo memberships and we will be going to the best place on earth for footy the mcg if the swans play freo. I'm not overplaying it as it's a long season, but I would love that trip and would hope from what my friend said about hawthorn supporters last year that Melbourne people would get behind it. Victorian teams will always be up there so I'm hoping they will still enjoy a good game of footy

When are people going to learn? Ross Lyon coached teams don't win flags.

IMO, Port are still the favourite, then hawks, Sydney, cats, Freo.

Uh, Im not sure if your trolling or not, Just a ball bounce away from winning St Kilda a flag dude. Or did that not happen in your short term memory?

Well honestly? I thought you might be in need of me highlighting that for you.

But on the threads note, Swans to finish top.

1. Swans
2. Freo
3. Hawks
4. Port

All mainly on current form indicators, which is too say... it could easily change from here. I did consider that Port will just run out of legs, and it might not be of the physical variety. More just the pressure of maintaining a high standard.

Ross Lyon's game plan took the Swans to the 2005 and 2006 GF.
Ross Lyon took Saints to 2 GF's in 2010.
Ross Lyon took Freo to the GF in 2013.

Ross Lyon has been a major part of teams that have contested 5 out of the last 10 Grand Finals.

That is a pretty awesome coaching record.

Clarkson, Bomber, Malthouse, Roos, Scott, Lomgmire are so far ahead of him it's not funny.

Maybe I didn't express myself properly, of course I wouldn't say we're outright better. But our hard games are at home, and our next four well... apart from Melbourne they'll be percentage boosting games.

I say on current form in relations to who we have to play, is that a better deal than Hawthorn? You bloody bet it is, surely you haven't missed them saying they've got the hardest run home and how unfair it is.

Hawks will finish top 2, Port and Hawks top 2, Sydney third and cats and dockers to fight it out for 4th.

You may not like his game plan, but Ross Lyon is an outstanding coach.
IMO better than Clarkson, Bomber and definitely miles better than Scott (both of them)
Malthouse is a stupid old prick but you can't fault his coaching.
