      Not so sure. We want Sydney and Adelaide as far away from 1/2 as possible.
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        Yep. I don't think we can go top 2, so Hawthorn and Geelong would be the next best option if we can't finish top 2.

            Really good game so far - as you'd expect with 1 v 2. I can't barrack for Hawthorn in any circumstances....so it's 'go swans' for me.

              Yes. They have won 19 of the last 22 games there. Guess who has beaten them twice

                How impressive were Hawks in that 2nd quarter?
                More of an In Bruges guy?

                  Hawks forward line is just unfair.

                        Ultimately it might have helped them. No focal point, every option is dangerous. Who do you double team?

                        I'd love a team try the Terry Wallace mega flood. 10 man defence, just clog it up and don't let any of them have any space to work into. Too hard to go head to head in a traditional sense with such good ball use from defence/midfield and a forward line that utilises inside 50s better than any ever in the history of the game.

                          Sydney on the other hand look completely ineffective going forward and are wasting opportunities.

                          Both teams are defending the ground really well. Hawthorn once again doing beautifully with the umpires.
                          TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                            Tipped the swans.
                            Sydney are playing a lot like us last week. Over-cooking the hand passing seriously.

                              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
