Going to be tough, but I'd rather be playing the Swans this week than anyone else.

Still haunted by our last 3 interstate finals. Especially that never to be mentioned game at Subi. Will never, ever forget my feelings at the final siren and the hours afterward.

We have an opportunity no doubt. But let's not kid ourselves, Sydney on the rebound in Sydney is a tough gig. Here is hoping though.

Dont be haunted... there is no opportunity
We have turned alot of things around this year

Wed go in as favourites... but still underdogs.. which is perfect

every week we will go in as underdogs and the fact that we ascended into the eight means we have less pressure.
Its all a bonus.

I expect us to get through this week!! :wink:

Look this group under mAlthouse has so much fight

Can only think of a couple of games where we haven't fought on

If we are in the mix at 3 qtr time watchout

Swans look tired that said hawks maybe just scary good

Swans recent record ugly vs good sides in the last month or so

Pies creamed them

Hawks rinse repeat

Cats also smashed then

Two rucks is working well for us.

Smashed them at the stoppages today. Whole different ball game against the Swan's midfielders though.

I'd only make forced changes.

Especially in the last qtr... We ran them to a standstill.

Warnock was a beast. He had a touch of Madden about him today.

Have been saying that for weeks he is very madden like

I thought McInnes was good in the last quarter and a half. If Casboult comes in it has to be at Kreuzers expense if anyone IMO. 4 stats today...had 22 hit outs fwiw.

..both rucks stay, and share the ruck load.... ..neither had much around the ground, Knockers had 6 touches [at 16% de, juicy goal however], krooz has 4 touches at 50% de.. ..but both worked hard all the same, [Krooz 4 tackles, 8 1%ers].. ..but their ruck skill was huge, Knockers 30 taps at 37%adv., Krooz 22 taps at 41%adv.. ..you don't give up that dominance, all game long our rucks lead the way in tap skill.. ..that's massive pressure, 4Q long..

..swines have had zero wins vs teams above them all year [best is draw vs freo].. ..they'd still be better than us, however.. ..they're battered and bruised, and have worked hard to battle their way into top 4 [tuggers were just half a game out].. ..i think they're running out of gas, and i reckon they are definitely vulnerable..

I'm looking at tickets now, they don't appear to be selling too fast as I try and contact a few people to see if they'd like me to grab them a ticket too.

Adult prices...

Category 1 = $85
Category 2 = $72
Category 3 = $57
Category 4 = $45

Plus exorbitant booking fees.

ScottSaunders · **Posted:** Mon Sep 09, 2013 9:23 am

that's cheaper than the elim final tickets!! hahah!!

Left field tip. Rowe to come in and take Tippett or Pyke. Releases Jamison to second forward and Henderson on White.

I also think MM may well go for Cachia or Ellard or both for some more midfield, run with depth.

McLean in. I'd like Casboult in but can't see it happening.

Any members not going that would be prepared to share their code?
