Agree - next year will be harder.
We will have additional expectation.
This year, we had a few surprising wins and that set up higher expectation for the second half of the season. But overall, I think we ended up roughly where we were expected to at the start of the year (6-10).
Next year, expectations will be top 6. But to get there, we must continue to beat the better teams and certainly cannot afford to drop any games against teams outside the 8!!

To achieve this, we will need to see continued improvement by the players, the coaching/game plan, injuries. Physically and mentally.

I must say I am enjoying the stress that comes with expectation much more than the odd surprise amidst a season of resignation and the occasional bright spark of individual performance.

And speed becomes negligent if we are hitting more targets, especially tight kicks and smart knock ons.
After watching last nights game, that will be the difference for us.

I hope Michael Voss has the whole playing group watch the last quarter of Melbourne vs Sydney. The way the swans played controlling the ball, is the reason we aren't playing finals. Two words SYSTEM and TOUGHNESS. Watch with eyes wide open our Carlton.

Like a “Massey Grey”…!

We beat Sydney with the same desperation, toughness and system. It was the day I knew this group can do.
As we all know, it didn't end well but this group is good enough. That's what hurts the most.

And you don't have to be a Star . Tom Hickey worked and worked and i believe in the end was the most influential player on the ground .WORKRATE . Hickey is no more than a hardworking journeyman but possesses enormous persistence and is a great example to blokes who are not so blessed with natural talent . A great inspiration for mine is Tom Hickey . And a whole lot of young players in that side also so enough of the young and developing card . Its now .

Reid kicked 2 in a minute to give the Swans daylight, wouldn't say the forwards did nothing. I'm not convinced we need a major change in approach. This finals series is the first time in a decade I haven't watched games and felt depressed about how far apart this is from our level. I would have given ourselves a big chance in both games so far. Better composure (experience), more leg speed, better injury management and we're almost there. This is also the reason I've been anti- every trade and FA signing proposed in the recruitment thread, I want us to go to the draft to address our needs, and keep our strengths.
