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.
Reality always wins in the end.

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.

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!

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?
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

x2. Also, Hanneberry is a chance to miss due to his concussion which might help.
