Kennedy is a monster in comparison to Cripps. However, looks can be deceiving and I suspect Cripps has similar strength.
Curnow ran with Kennedy in the NAB game and shut him down quite well. At stoppages Kennedy was going to Cripps and Curnow would pick up another Swan. Once Cripps got the clearance, Curnow would pick up Kennedy again.

Looking at what happened in the Tigers game the 4Q is where it could all come apart for us as our engine room tires and the Swans depth and power keeps going relentlessly. It's a massive challenge for us.

I think Collingwoods's mid-field is pretty thin and the fact they lost Swan in the first 10 minutes didn't help, so I don't think we will be swamped by Sydney like Collingwood was. I also think Sydney were pretty amped up for the return of Buddy so I am not sure they will be as committed as they were last round, though managing Buddy is going to be a challenge. I think we will be pretty competitive but our problem will be kicking enough goals though Sydney's defence isn't as strong as it has been in the past. i am hoping it will be a pretty good game.

I think it was more our boys dropped their heads somewhat (and understandably so) when first Kerridge (running into an open goal) then Levi after marking missed badly.
That stopped our momentum cold.
If those two or even just one had been a goal i reckon we would have won by 40 as Richmond would have dropped their heads...
Murphy, Gibbs and Cripps will all be better/fitter for the full run too.

Got all our bad goal kicking out of our system last week. On that basis we'll kick 20.1 and win. Levi to kick 8.0
Hanneberry was knocked out... any chance he'll miss? Franklin also hurt his shoulder.
Fingers crossed.
I anticipate a similar game to NAB3. We've got Murphy back and Cripps will play a full game so should be a little stronget but a lot depends on what the truer form line is for Sydney... nab3 or round 1. Obviously you'd think the latter but we won't know until Sunday.
Byrne just has to play. White out?

There is some weak mail that Murphy might be out, allegedly hasn't pulled up so well!

i think we have stop there run from defence(wen we bomb it long)and they run it out with handballs and find find there fwd line open with space everyhere for buddy, tippet,parker etc etc. Must kick that ball to our advantage not to contest all the time.

We just need to play like we did last week, and if we can lessen the errors and make the most of our easy shots at goal, who knows?

Agreed. We're a work in progress but plenty of good signs from Thursday. Take the chances that come your way and indeed, who knows!
Tigers have beaten the Swans the last few times they have played i think?
No one is saying it's going to be easy but it surely would shut up many of our media detractors!
