All depends on the finals draw. Geelong would hope to avoid Sydney, Adelaide would hope to avoid Geelong, GWS wouldn't like facing Adelaide and Port wouldn't want GWS. Power have done well against the Crows and Cats this year, though. Not sure they'd beat Sydney again the way they're playing, though. I don't think anyone else is a chance.
Port haven't beaten us for two years mate.

What a dumb question. Check the fixture. Won our last 4 games at the G, won in Darwin, won in Brisbane.
Seriously? Our draw is soft? Get over yourself. Every year we hear that crap.

Your away games have been soft games this year. No trip to Sydney.
We will see how good the Swans are when u have to play the Cats and Crows away without biased umpiring.

Sheesh, you're up and about aren't ya? Beat Geelong at Kardinia and Crows at AO and then start the boss talk. Not saying you won't - will probably tip you in both - but you sound like a prat.

They won't get the biased umpiring at the Cattery or AO, they will lose both games.
Cats and Crows just like the Swans have a negative free kick differential this year having given away more than they have received.

The Blues have a positive free kick differential. Not bad for a team coming 16th to be so well looked after.

Don't worry about blues, we are rebuilding. Without biased umpiring for the Swans, I don't think your unbeatable. Tonight's umpiring
was that biased it virtually gave the swans the 4 points. There's no doubt Swans are in great form, but your not the same team from previous years.
The Cats can beat the Swans at the Cattery or at the G in the finals.

You've won 1 from the last 5?

Also correct on the two different teams. Your team used to be much better.
So, Sydney's on a two game winning streak against Geelong, dating all the way back to August, 2015, when we were pretty shit? I'm unimpressed.

In 2014, Sydney was the premiership favourite, pretty much for the entire second half of the year. In 2015, Geelong wasn't even good enough to make finals, yet Geelong still took one out of two games against Sydney. In 2016, Sydney had Geelong's measure.

Like I said, let's see what happens in a few weeks. Sydney's having a good run, but they haven't exactly looked unstoppable.

Agree with this. I for one am enjoying the ride, but certainly not getting carried away. I still have Adelaide, Geelong and a fit GWS ahead of us at this stage. Could even throw Port into that mix based on what they've shown so far this year. We've put together an excellent bunch of wins, but many of them weren't especially commanding.

I'd give us a chance against the Cats and Crows in the finals should we get there, but that's probably more based on last year's results. Our games against both teams in coming weeks will be telling.

Still fear GWS the most at this stage if they can get a fully fit team on the field. But again, that might be down to last year's form and that mauling they gave us in week 1 of the finals.
