Port scored 9.6 to 0.3 today from turnovers. Need to match their intensity and then some...

They are certainly beatable but what are the odds of them losing 2 games in a row.

..and then some more.

and probably a bit after that.

I don't this we could have hoped for a better game, they were dead on their feet!

Nice one AK. That's the sort of thing you miss from intermittent viewing. Given he's not playing in the 2's it sounds like he's been told "all is forgiven".

As a general principal though, I like the idea of selectors being prepared to drop talented players who are not living up to their potential.

If we win, it'll be because the Swans' weakness has been exposed.
If we lose, it's because they were pissed off from losing to Port and took it out on us.

Either way, someone's theory will be right.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

We will be beaten to all parts of the SCG.

Regardless of what happened in the Sydney v Port game.

The mere thought of a win in this game is a delusional one.

I have pretty sharp elbows and excellent peripheral vision. I will not be beaten to the bar underneath the Victor Trumper Stand despite Swans supporters pre-match threatening to shake down the thunder from the sky. They don't scare me. Carlton (draught) by 7.

At the G would've been some chance, at the SCG no chance. Rebounding Swans by 24 after we lead by 3 goals twice.....

We'll lose to the Swans, then to Collingwood, and it will be season over.

"GIBBS."

na, Bizzare as it seems, we should still make the 8 providing we don't completely lose the plot after this string of losses. My Ladder predictor has us finishing 8th, a game and % clear of Port and a game behind Tiges. I've included wins of GC up there and Richmond though (both questionable) but have us losing every other hard game inc Bummers. I've also assumed that Tiges and Port maintain their good recent form - again questionable ?

also, an Elim final v Bummers looms....

we can take a lot of heart out of Ports win yesterday - we need to believe....

We play Port in the last round....might be, dare I say it....season defining

Be nice to actually win a game against very good opposition for once.

Close losses don't cut it. Will cost us finals action this year if it hasn't already.

The fact is we can't win the close ones and haven't beaten the quality sides yet. Can't see that changing myself but hope I'm wrong.

We are on our way back...

We're very close to a big scalp, and this could well be it.

We won @ the SCG the last time we played there in 2011 for all the TC chicken littles (and I was there ). We've also won away at Subi and Gabba this year. Reminder - Swans lost to Hawks @ SCG last year but won the GF. They are not impregnable up there.

Given Dan H was kept to 13 touches v Port, we'll need a Curnow or Cachia to step up again for this task, he is now the barometer for this team. Cachia's job on Jobe a few weeks ago gives me hope that he can keep big Josh K in reasonable check for this game. Doubt Carrots will play after missing 5 or 6 weeks.

At least no Murphy for us is likely to be offset by no Goodes for them.

Ins - McInnes, Yarran
Outs - Bootsma, Murphy (inj)

Blues by 11 points.

Carrazzo not ready?
