Graham kicked a few goals and had 24 touches in the VFL, Cunningham had 20 so it's a toss up.
If Cunningham gets the nod it's not good news for Nick, I'd probably go with Cunningham.
Can't see us winning but confidence is a wonderful thing, I don't think it will be a blow out, looking forward to Liam V Buddy.
Small ground, pace not as big an issue. I'd go with Graham.

Cunningham has more upside in my opinion but it's a toss up.

I'd go with Graham...bit of rumour talk that Cuningham might have got ahead of himself a bit and thought he was an automatic selection each week and the coaches want
to see a bit of improvement in a few areas.
Was a very wild rumour I heard via BigFooty that he might even be up for trade if GWS want something extra for the Kelly/Hopper deal...being Bigfooty I wouldnt put much credence to that rumour and I wouldnt see SOS wanting to trade one of his young picks out...

I'd be going with Graham. He is tougher and has far more kent than Cunners IMO. He would relish the prospect of this game and I think we'll need all the kent we can get.

The Hawks were a real test and far more of a bogey side than the Swans.
i think we can match it very well with them.....

In one respect it's a nightmare for the Fluffy Ducks coming up against a side with nothing to lose. Has the makings of a very close, dour encounter. Our BEST matches it with them.

Do it right and we can beat them. I saw the Hawks do it a couple of weeks ago. We need to strangle them out of the stoppages and limit mistakes that they will quickly and ruthlessly capitalise on, as is their style. All out tackling/harassment pressure on them is also key.

Does SOJ have a hairline jaw fracture?? Had scans. If he has, leave him out.
Re: Rd 23: Pre Game Thread: Carlton vs Sydney - laj - 08-21-2017
Does it help that we were the 2nd last side to beat them?..lol.
Re: Rd 23: Pre Game Thread: Carlton vs Sydney - madbluboy - 08-21-2017
Swans don't like our (and the Hawks) keepings off style. Harder to do at the SCG though.
