TOPIC:

To be honest Mike I will be happy if we are even just competitive in all of our last 4 games. We are still a long way short of reaching 1000 points scored for the year and on track for our worst scoring season of all time.
But apparently to some the most pressing matter in all of the WAFL is making $ubi even more dominant as 7 flags in the last 12 years isn't enough!

Just as an aside here & probably not much to do with this week's game really

I noted Kirk Ugle got hammered last week & is out with concussion I believe - that poor kid (and of course his sisters) has had a rotten year given the tragedy in his family at the start of it

Hope someone can pass on a message of strength for want of better wording - hang in there brother & all the best

They need 114 in 4 games or an average of about 29. They should be able to do this but that still means an average of 50 points a game. I checked on a couple of seasons where they didn't win more than 2 games. In 1968 they scored 1500 from 21 games and in 2002 they scored 1114 from 18 games and in both of these seasons they only won 1 game. Certainly on track to be the lowest scoring season

Cheers mate I'm sure Kirk would appreciate the kind words in an extremely tough year for the family.

As I said last week Southerner, Kirk is too courageous for his own good sometimes. He has had a few hammerings this year and last week I was concerned for him when he went back on after being hit and still threw himself into the fray. I am hoping he is OK and that he will only play footy in future if his long term health is not at risk. Quality of life is more important than a game of football.

We need to average 82.75 points per game from the last four games to avoid the lowest ever amount of points in a season, for Swans set back in 1952 of 60.85.

Click the Ave heading twice to sort from lowest to highest average points for.

Further more, apart from Peel in 1999 when they went 0-20 no team has averaged less than Swans have in 2016 in a season since 1945!

Cheers Rick. Seeing we have only passed 82 points twice in the whole season it would seem highly unlikely that they will achieve that as an average over 4 weeks so that unwanted record looks as if it will be in the books. A far cry from the early 80's where Swans were averaging 140 points per game!

No worries, mikeh yet another unwanted record for us Swannies supporters to try to forget about from this miserable season, unfortunately all those 'lowest scores' etc are plastered all over my website and I can't get away from them. I just try to ignore them and receive the good years - haha
