Swans dont deserve any press and are just making up the numbers imho...fell into the eight thanks to the Crows being cheated out of a win and should be planning their holidays for the week after.

Geez EB i wish i shared your confidence mate. I do agree with you that our season has been far better then the swans but finals are a different beast and just hoping like hell we can settle quickly and get a buffer early.
A loss as i said earlier will be a fail mark to the season as far as im concerned - maybe that why im so nervous cause everything hinges off this game from my perspective.

Our biggest threat is our match committee and their selections.

They have been responsible for more losses than any 1 team over the past 10 years......and daylight is 2nd.

The noise coming out of the club is they are expecting a tough physical contest and I think we should expect the same.

Goal at the beginning of the year was to make finals....we've done it. And to bounce back from being 15th on the ladder and finish 5th was a fair effort given we were missing blokes like McGovern, Cerra, Walsh, Silvagni, Kennedy, McKay and a few others for a lot of that winning sequence. And in that run, beat 3 of the top 4 teams as well as St Kilda who were 5th at the time.

I agree. 9 wins in a row, including wins against 3 of the top 4, gives us an excellent springboard for 2024, whatever happens on Friday. This season is definitely a pass IMO.

I think what we will learn is whether or not what we are doing stands up in finals. My guess is it will but I say that with no confidence largely due to our past. I need to stop thinking like that.
