matchups with geelong

[penga]

their biggest problem is covering goodes
our biggest problem is containing king

barry on riccardi (great matchup IMO)
crouch on ablett

scarlett on magic
graham on hall

what other matchups will we see? i dont know the geelong squad that well...

I think Bally can follow Kingy around for most of the day.

As for the other main ball winners at the Cats, Ling, Corey, Enright and co.

I still see Tadhg, Leo, Saddo and Maxi running us out of half-back fairly freely. I think the Cats biggest problems this year have surrounded their forwards who tend to be quite lazy in DEFENCE at times apart from Gary Jr when he goes to HF. These days he has been spending most of the time in the centre.

On paper this one should be to the Swans advantage given the big trip back from Perth, however I am really looking forward to this test of our hungar.

It will also be a game where I expect some desperate measures from the Cats. They won't come to the SCG with a standard game plan because they will get hammered. Bomber is desperate so he is likely to try all sorts of tricks.

we r either gonna smash them by 100 points or lose by 8 points... this is how the old swans wouldve worked anyway!

[TheHood]

If we will, we will rise to 5th, if we smash them, we can maybe sneak to 4th! Imagine that! 4th spot on the ladder and one of the form teams of the comp. Its one to see to be believed.

Yep.... Lets just hope we see it ....

Kirk will pick up Joel Corey or Ling with cresswell matching up on the other one. Crouch on Ablett and maybe kennely on ricardi.

Should be a good game because I feel Geelong is playing for their season and If Sydney are not on the ball they would be ripe for the picking........Anyone know the last time we won 4 in a row?

I expect warfe and Micklejohn to be given a run in the two's with LRT anf fixter if reay or o'keefe.

Powell to be given another week in the one's for his development.

We cannot possibly play Barry on Riccardi, because he is to loose and will get an absolute towelling.

Good comments from Penga, we'll either win by 100 or lose by 8, lets hope its the former.

Go swans. My only worry is that over the years the Cats seem to be one of those teams we have trouble with when we expect to win. Coming of a high like the last two weeks will test Roosy and he will have to earn his pay to keep their feet on the ground. Swans by 35 points.

Riccardi would be a harder one seeing Barry will play too loose and Tadhg will be too inexperienced, maybe C Bolton. Our midfield, judging on form, will tear em apart giving our forwards thousands of balls inside 50. There only chance is too play a slow and sloppy type of game on a wet day.
