Not our fault the WAFL fixturing is a complete farce freeze ..maybe those teams that played Peel 3 times earlier in the year got a false higher position on the ladder than they really deserved!
Anyways it makes no difference now as we have C, EF & WP to come in the next 3 weeks & I am already on the record as saying we wont make the finals this year unfortunately as we are far too inconsistent from qtr to qtr let alone week to week!

Freezin apart from trying to emulate your nom de plume why are you in NZ?

I ask myself that same question every day I'm here in NZ 42......just one of lifes journeys I guess, looking to get home in a year or two.....but who knows.....

Not concerned about Embley. Probably isn't in Swans top 3 midfielders nowadays. Same with Mcginnity for us, i place him well behind Blackwell, Foster and Murphy and possibly Neates too. Seems a silly thing to say considering he has played, i dunno, 50 afl games and the others have barely a game between them but thats the way i see it. Same with Silvagni. I'd rather him out than any one of Thomson, Crawford or Holt, Handley...
Have a feeling this won't be the last time we play Swans this year. Handley, Holt and Neates in from last time we met to give us a bit more strength in the contest this time around, we got fairly outmuscled last time and will be looking for a much improved effort in that area. Yes, Neates is about as tall as a bar stool but holds his feet very well i've noticed and is quite strong over the ball.
Calling all Swans and Tigers supporters to get along to this remembering that this game, unless Swans finish second, will be the last Tigers Swans game ever infront of the existing clubrooms. I'll be shedding a tear..

Or unless you lose the 2nd semi and Swans win the first semi.

Lose the 2nd semi to (likely) west Perth? I don't think so!

Hmm... So the 2nd semi final is done and dusted you reckon. I sure hope your players go into the game with the same mindset because if they do they might find that West Perth give them a rude shock. I had a look at them against Perth last week and they were pretty impressive even though they were missing some of their better players. Football has a way of punishing overconfidence (arrogance?) 2010 should have taught Claremont supporters this.

dont think we would lose to west perth either, but never know, good news for 2moro no embley.

Thought it would've been a lot closer, as the 1st qtr score had suggested, but a much more determined Tigers ripped it up em today. You beauty go you Tigers!!!

The Falcons showed their true colours today, couldn't go with the Sharks after 1/2 time, looked as though they just stopped dead and were happy to take a hiding, will be an interesting game against the Black Ducks in a couple of weeks time. This will give an indication as to where they mentally, when the 2nd semi will be the following week.

The Sharks may be the dark horse as they have hit top form at the right end of the season
