does any1 know if your a swanies member, can just give your member card to a friend so they can go to a game in your place?

I do it all thetime. They don't check and why should they care. You paid either way.

Cats 2007 premiers

bullshit
they probably wont even make the 8

 

[SyCoTiC]

I reckon they will but they won't be Premiers. They still lack that key forward.

 

[Gilbert1]

I don't see them making the 8 either. They just don't have a good squad

 

[adders]

Wat do u mean the cats wont make the eight, they have a quality side that may have found a key foward in ablett and Hawkins and ottens is only gonna get better, not to mention mooney is averaging 4 goals a game

 

[Gilbert1]

Because:
Sydney
West Coast
Adelaide
Fremantle
St Kilda, All easily have a better squad.

While:
Cats
Hawks
Deamons
Dogs
Port
Lions, probably have just as strong a squad. But Port and Lions actually have good coaches while the dogs look pretty nice. So yeah I really can't see the cats making the eight.

PS The cats don't really have that good a squad anyway

 

[jemsta]

and yes theyve only played two rounds, so expect the crows and the dockers to bounce back very soon

 

[jemsta]

another victory to the swans over the unbeaten brisbane lion at scg
go the swans!

 

[sydneyswansfan]

yes good victory but they still had it 69 all with about 10 to go... its not good for the fingernails.

 

[jemsta]

lol with 10 mins to go, its still plenty of time
its when they have the 5 minute warning that gets interesting and nailbiting
i assume you need a manicure pretty soon

 

[adders]

How good are the cats, all u guys are saying they won't make the 8 but they have the 2 biggest winning margins this season

 

[SyCoTiC]

We played one good quarter of football and three quarters of ordinary football. Another terrible day infront of goal - They always have this problem at the beginning of the season.

 

[jemsta]

at least they are winning games, which is the most important part, although i have to agree with you that they need to work their kicking in front of goals

 

[Gilbert1]

But the swans did dominate the last quater. Absolutely demolished brisbane.

One good thing that you can take out of the match though is the Swans attacked the ball soooooooo hard and ferociously.

 

[jemsta]

swans never say die
you saw that in the west coast game, which gives them huge amounts of respect
good result for mikky o'loughlin playing his 250th
what a champ

 

[SyCoTiC]

Fitting end with him kicking the sealing goal.

I'm simply saying that the Swans need to play all four quarters of football to win games against genuine sides. Look at an under-manned West Coast team despite the fact that they fell short by 1 point is justifiable that the Swans should not leave it until the end to play their best footy.

 

[jemsta]

i guess so, but swans are renowned for their slow starts
give some a few rounds or so, and theyll be out on all guns blazing

 

[sydneyswansfan]

one step at a time. We just learnt how not to have such a slow start to the season. 2 from three (with a one point loss) is pretty darn good for us. Next project is playing from the first bounce.

 

[SyCoTiC]

I still think it's a slow start.. They played a ruckman-less Richmond side and struggled to scrape past them and then played a very young and majorly inexperienced Brisbane team that almost had us on the ropes in the middle of the game. In both games Sydney looked to have given the game away and the only reason this hasn't been the case has been their experience with tight games. Both very ordinary teams and lost to a heavily under-manned team goes to show they are still starting off relatively slow. Adelaide will be a big test as they are in a similar position to us.
