i didn't think we wanted to

we didnt win but we showed that a) we will pound any canberra team in the reserves and b) if that was a full strength hawthorn they will be **** for the season.

Win or lose - I don't really care - I just want our best 22 available to run on the ground for Round One. The last thing we need is a whole stack of injuries. Spida doing his knee is not a good start

Who cares?

ta hell with the NAB cup, roll on the season proper LOL

I'd like this season to defy a few cliches Swans fans have come to expect in the last few years: slow starts, tough in the clinches, last quarter comebacks. Let's add another - we actually win a NAB Cup game for a change. It's pretty meaningless, but I could do with any kind of victory involving the BLoods to kick of the new year...

Well, we've actually had a bit more time to prepare this season compared to the previous 2 years where we made the Grand Final so, who knows, we might actually win a pre-season game this year.

It's obviously not on Roos' priority list to win pre-season games but as supporters it would be nice to be able to watch them on the tele instead of having to read about them playing in some remote country town somewhere.

Hopefully not... I don't think the preseason is overly important when you have a team of old bastards! We need to work our way up to being a force in September, not come out all guns blazing

probably not, but the fact we had a early exit last year, and thus some of the seniors are fitter than they have been at this time of the year in the last couple of years might lets us win one
