Cripps back in and raring to go.  And the SCG is not the fortress it once was.

Bring it on!

Fair enough T. but the Swans have plenty of other very very good players. I don't write us off but I'm not underestimating the task ahead, deep in enemy territory.
Reality always wins in the end.

They stand to lose more than we do, so I expect them to come hard with early intensity. I don’t like my feeling in my stomach for this game.

Green Stick good buddy, I have the utmost respect for your gut and what you say is right. Their brand of 'tight' footy could see us turn it over too much... but... Teaguey has stated that we're prepared, with our new game style' to quickly cover for turnovers. What leans me in our direction is our ability to score quickly and repeatedly and this might just be too much for the Fluffy Ducks. Plus, on this smaller ground Crippa could just run amok. All we need bring is to be switched on, scoring wise, from the get-go.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I think they will bring Darcy Cameron in to ruck so Alir can play down back....

And the likes of Reid and Hayward are no slouches up forward.

Papley, Parker, Heeney and of late Blakey are all capable goalkickers so not having Buddy has probably helped the
Swans become less predictable.
Word is that Jarrod McVeigh will also get up for this game so even without Buddy, Sinclair etc its not going to be easy on their home deck.

Cameron hasn't played for a month...good luck with that.

Very winnable game, especially with Crippa and Big H back in.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
