Backs against the wall, our best team unavailable and our 4 next games are against;
1. Collingwood
2. Dogs
3. Sydney
4. Melbourne

I am sure this will be talked about by Hardwick. Yes it’s early in the season but still very crucial on how our season May pan out.

If we can get 2 wins out of the 4 I think we would have done well.

at this stage the Dogs look highly gettable and we match up well against them.

they just don't cope well with fast movement.

a second win would be collingwood. we still have their number and i have a feeling Dimma will clog play up and treat it like a mini-final.

bolton and lynch need to be right on top of their respective games for us to win.

Dogs should be a win.

Wonder how the Dees will go without Gawn. I've always thought they lack depth and a few injuries could cripple them.

Swans are looking the goods. Playing in Adelaide where we just won will throw up something different.

Pies slight favourites but wouldn't be surprised if we beat them

2 from 4 would be good. 3 from 4 is still very achievable

I am quietly confident about this week but the Dees worry me. We just don’t match up well against them. Dogs are gettable but Horse has the wood over Hardwick.

How does Horse have the wood over Hardwick??

Since Longmire took over the Swans in 2011 we have played Sydney 15 times. Hardwick leads 8 to 7

There have been 4 games not at the MCG or SCG. Hardwick leads 4 zip on that count

Zips Tips.
*Tiggies by 8
*Brisbane by 43
*Adelaide to be beat Port and send Kenny heading to exit just before they play us in rnd 11.
*Suns to beat Geelong
*Nth to beat Hawthorn
*Stkilda to win 3 In a row.
*West Coast to beat Freo and Longmuire to start looking for a new job.
*Swannies by 10 goals No Gawn no Melbourne.
*The Kingsley boys to beat the little Blues.

Dont see us beating the Pies this week. Reckon we take the Dogs as we match up very well with them and they have dropped off significantly this year. Sydney will depend on the team selected. Need run and chase. Can't go in too top heavy as they always seem to run us around. Dees reckon we are a chance with Gawn out. He is the one that usually dominates the play and if we bring the pressure a genuine chance. Would be an excellent result to get 2 out of these 4. Gives us 3 wins and a draw after 6 games which i would take considering a lot of players are coming from limited pre season and should hit their straps at the right time of the year.

Horse has the chocolates in 2022 and 2021
Hardwick had the wins in 2020, 2019, 2018
Horse was successful 2017 and 2016
Hardwick won the three years prior to that

Harwick's turn

In short, no. Big Boy Month is never held in April. Our job right now is to accumulate enough wins and to get our squad fit, so we’re in a position to go hard after the mid-season bye.

I’ll take 2-2, but I think we can do better than that.

Swans are looking the goods. Playing in Adelaide where we just won will throw up something different.

Funnily enough, playing at AO might suit us more than the MCG. They the seem to play well at the G (excluding GF day).

I am quietly confident about this week

me too. These back to the wall-type games suit us perfectly.

An even split over that period would be acceptable. Don't care who we beat or lose to (maybe I care about Sydney - starting to hate them). I reallly really don't want to be losing to the bottom team this year.

Havnt seen that much footy so far ,

Both our games and happened to see bits of both Collingwood games ,

Hard not to like the way they are playing , makes me nervous thinking about it ,

Any by all reports the Swans are flying ,

I think you would gladly take 2 wins with our injury concerns
