    Western Bulldogs

    Are people watching this?
    Can we possibly match that pace?
    ...or can we hold-it-up and force them to play on our terms?

    This time next week, we'll really know where we're at.

    Currently 85-39. Was out to 62 points at one stage in the second quarter.

    Was looking quite scary there for a moment. Will be interesting next week.

    Bring it on!!

      That's exactly what I'm thinking as I watch the Dogs slaughter the lame Port scum. Next weeks game promises to be an absolute beauty. I hope the SCG is packed for it.

        i think today shows how good the crows are coached - the dogs were slaughtered at aami a few weeks back

        street is on report so he might be missing therefore we need to exploit their lack of ruckmen. i suspect that we'll lock them down across half back and the midfield and choke their run on the smaller scg

          I reckon we'll beat the Bulldogs.
          They will find it VERY hard to find the amount of space they require for their gameplan on the small SCG. They will not be able to apply the same about of run and handball with EASE as the Swans will be on their hammer every time.

          The amount of pressure Sydney apply vs Port Adelaide today, is a huge amount of difference.

            Don't forget Rocket Eade is very well aware of the confines of the SCG

              We have simply outplayed the Dogs for the past few years at the SCG. But Eade is smart and knows the SCG very well and his team has much more confident and skill than in the past.

              I think we can stop them and turn the ball around and get well ahead on the scoreboard - but if the Swans don't play with their recent determination, we'll get done.

              I hope Tiger will be playing.

                Question is - who will be dropped to make way for Matthews to return next week? Who ever is dropped will be spitting chips!
                And the man who started it, the Schneiderman, can kick his third for the quarter. And the swans are in the Grand Final!

                  Unfortunately, during yesterdays game Luffy said he thought it would probably be McVeigh.

                    I really hope not. Mathews's lack of pace would be exposed by the Bulldogs midfield.

                      Matthews may not be able to find a place in the team.

                        That would be shame. Watching yesterday's game I thought he did quite well in the forward pocket - I was wondering whether he would make a good permanent FP.

                          The Bulldogs will be a good test for us, because they sit just above us on the ladder. I wouldn't underestimate them at all. It will be a very tough match.
                          Re Matthews. If they find a role for him, he'll be playing otherwise why bringing him im. The only player I can think of that he could replace is Willo.

                            If we can come up with another 4 quarter effort as seen against Richmond, we should get the win. It promises to be a cracker of a game though.
                            We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

                              i think this is true. mathews's one real strength is being in position to receive the ball from the back of packs and that was done superbly by all against the tigers. i think he'll be back in for the majority of this season on the strength of his seniority, experience and general reliability (i believe some will disagree here) but he may find he'll be fighting for his spot for the remainder of his career.
                              then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know
