possum52 Posted May 21, 2023 #101 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Unfortunately for the Kangas, they had one too many interchange subs and the Swans were awarded a free kick in their forward line which resulted in a goal - that was where the ball was at the time of the infringement.

I think this is our crash year 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting Leigh. Yay, Swans win!! Of course, now that they win I couldn't watch the game. Life is so unfair 😄 Go Swans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted May 24, 2023 #104 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Man I haven't been in this thread in a few weeks - been as busy as the Swans have been terrible. Of course, the many injuries haven't helped at all. But I don't think we're featuring in finals this year. The Grand Final curse strikes again. Still plenty of time to string a couple of wins together and build some confidence for 2024, so let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kristelle Posted May 29, 2023 #117 Share Posted May 29, 2023 ah. goes in cycles, they all have their ups and downs. Adelaide look a chance for finals this year - but only couple of years ago we lost 15 in a row and were rock bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 30, 2023 #118 Share Posted May 30, 2023 the season is relatively early still, a long way to go before finals, injuries can be cruel and ruin a team chances despite early form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted May 30, 2023 #119 Share Posted May 30, 2023 There's a couple of early front-runners, but as MC says, it's a long season and anything can happen before finals. Usually it's the teams that are in a rich vein of form over the last month, month and a half are best placed, as long as they've banked enough points earlier on to finish high up on the ladder. Geelong and Sydney are both well off the pace after facing off in the grand final last year, but you wouldn't write either of them off just yet (though to be fair, as a Swans fan, I firmly believe our season has been too disrupted by injuries to seriously challenge as one of the top teams this year) It was a much-needed win against Carlton, but IMO it had as much to do with Carlton throwing the match away than the Swans showing a huge amount of improvement. Still, you take them where you can and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, true. I did say Adelaide Crows are a chance for finals, by no means a certainty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegroover Posted June 2, 2023 #121 Share Posted June 2, 2023 @NoWhiners I am in the USA at the moment can you tell how do I find out if the Swans game on 8 June is telecast somewhere. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi Cruisegroover Welcome to the USA. The games are covered by Fox Sports 2 mostly, but sometimes Fox Sports 1, and even once in awhile on ESPN. You can check AFL schedules by using Google. I just tried and the Swans don't look to be on that day 😞 But, you should check for yourself. I don't usually check until the nights they will play here. I am in the Mountain Time zone, so the games are on at either 10:30 pm or 3:00 am, approximately. Where will you be? If you are in a big enough city, and the games aren't on in the wee hours of the morning, you might find them at a local bar. Unlikely, unless you are on the US east coast. I will keep an eye out and post as soon as I see what will be on for that day. I hope you enjoy your visit and if I can be of any help, be sure and ask, Go Swans! ML PS: Any chance you will be in Albuquerque?? Edited June 3, 2023 by NoWhiners typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched Fox Sports 1 have found a replay will be Saturday morning only. So will watch that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
