If we lose today's pressure game, taking in that form and pressure of winning, iis it likely we will go down to Essendon or Melbourne?

What if Dimma tries to get smart and bring in players like Hampson, Griffiths, Hunt or Conca?

Do we have to win today to avoid a likely first round exit again?

the worst possible scenario would be playing one of those pathetic teams.

It could go either way but our record in finals will almost certainly signify a loss here.

IMO as strange as it sounds we have a better chance of beating the cats at the G. Lose that and its the winner of swans/bombers at the G.

must win today no ifs buts or maybes

Not sure that's rigHt.

Swans win their final they get ttheir next one at Home,  that's what's being reported

really WP? Thats not how i see it but could be wrong

last year 2016 final series.

swans lost week one and then played crows(5th placed) at the scg in week 2.

2015, ditto

if they want to change this then they can get stuffed.

Is that being reported on the AFL website?

If so, they are struggling at the moment. They had an article up earlier today saying that if Richmond win we play Port or Sydney, and if we lose we play Port or Sydney. Can't work that one out. Article has now been edited to say that if we win we play Geelong, and if we lose we host an elimination final.

Agree with Willy.

Having said that, we win today and we won't have to worry about it. That's where the focus should be.
