A very promising start to the season looks like being totally derailed by the massive injury list and it's not so much our B & C graders it's a host of our A graders. I think if we manage to make the 4 it will be a huge result for the club, will need a finish similar to 2011, We need another 5/6 wins from the remaining 11 games to have a chance. Top 2 spots are pretty set with Swans and the Eagles but it will be a tough battle between us, Joondy and the Gummy's for 3rd & 4th spot with Souths, Perth, Cl and even Freo all capable of having a say.

We will now see just how much depth the club has, Ressies are in great form and the Colts have plenty of talent. Positive is we will get some games into a number of youngsters ready for next year. You only need to look at Swans to see what can be done when the chips are down.

Saturdays game up at Bombo Valley could get ugly but a good place to watch footy and the forecast looks good at this stage.

you blokes shouldnt be worried at all, reserves are top and colts in the 4 - more positives in promoting your own kids than worrying what players are not available, Swans were supposed to finish last remember so why cant you guys win ?

Good news that he's back on the park, expect him to have 3 or 4 runs in the 2's then it will be down to form and what injuries we have.

MO, fantastic job done by Harding and the team this year but one of the keys for you guys has been stability of the team list with all or most of your first pick players available for most games, so the youngsters have that continuity, Subi had that for their first 4 or 5 games and were playing quality footy but that stability has gone with a big list of first pick player unavailable for lengthy periods which will bring down any team.

But as I said great credit to the Ducks they have proven most people wrong so far and I'd be very shocked and surprised if your run doesn't continue tomorrow.

our 1st pick players were supposed to see us finish bottom from memory.

let's hope for your sake RCQ the boys from bogandean haven't peaked too early...

if you are talking to me then I am not concerned whether we have peaked too early or not, won 8 more games than I thought..
for a club with no money we have a bunch of blokes playing for their club with spirit and that is all you can ask for as a supporter.

A few years ago you had money,abunch of blokes playing for their club with spirit made up of 11 mercenaries and it took Swans to a flag.
