When Franklin has a good game they smash us, but we won't be on our lonesome there!
I often think Sydney, although a very deep midfield, are not super fast, they have heavy bodies but tend to be on the slower side by AFL standards, not sure about them this year. Who takes Papley?

Sydney always seem to play by a well orchestrated and disciplined plan to me, built around some very strong and reliable performers. This doesn't always mean they are good enough to win obviously. We by contrast too often seem like we are flying by the seat of our pants, relying too much on individuals and making heavy weather of trying to get the heart in mouth win. If we can't keep it together v the Swans then I think their system will win it for them.

As for the two week suspension, that beggars belief :o We should appeal and show the Tribunal footage of Harbrow's hit on Gibbons.
Theres one positive to Plowman missing if he does, and that people will notice the work he does to cover for his teamates loose defending.

6 x dour defenders will see you getting absolutely hammered week in week out.

I wrote this one down as a loss from the get go. Hope like hell I'm wrong.

If Hickey is carrying an injury or is out we might do better than expected.

Swan might go a bit taller and include wonder boy Logan McDonald too who kicked a few goals in the twos...be a big front half with Buddy, Mclean and McDonald and maybe Sinclair on the bench.
