LAST TIME - Kangaroos 12.12 (84) d Sydney 8.11 (59), round 9, 2004, Manuka Oval. The Roos halted the Swans' four-game winning streak, their midfield supreme, Rawlings, Harvey and Simpson the stars, Goodes and Hall (four goals) best for the Swans.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY - The Swans and Kangaroos were both slightly below par last week, yet still managed to eke out narrow victories. Injured Swans O'Loughlin, Maxfield and Kennelly have all been picked in an initial 25-man squad. But the Roos' midfield is on fire, and their lesser lights like Rawlings and Jones appear to have jumped to another level. The Roos have a liking for Canberra, too, having won seven times from nine starts at Manuka, including this same clash last season.
PREDICTION - Kangaroos by 16 points
- Rohan Connolly
