      Big "Wow!".

      I watched that game against the Hawks, and he was there only player in the Hawks having a real impact on the Demons.

      Even if Chambers went on him this coming week, I wouldn't be surprised if Chambers had the one-up the way Everitt played Everitt was playing below his best that day, but not sure whether he was a bit tired, because when he won the hitouts, they were won but hit out to nowhere (his fault??). As a result, their clearances were a shocker.

      Should be careful though, as Hawks could always pull a bunny out of the hat ala-Tigers v Crows..

        Roughead has lost his licence for 12 months for speeding (40Km over the limit), but I think he'll be right to play. He just needs a lift on Saturday night.

          I'd say it's an ideal time to take advantage of the opportunity, give Willo a rest and bring in one of the young midfielders like Schmidt or Willoughby.

            Be very careful about playing around unnecessarily with a winning team.

            I sense another % boosting win this weekend for Sydney. The Swans are on a roll which I have very good feeling about.

              Hold your horses boys, once we get on a run, we sometimes have some "unexpected" losses, and we don't want this to be a loss, because it prevents us a smack higher up in the 4, either that or to keep us there.

              Umm.. maybe give one of our semi-injured boys a rest? Hard to pick from but I guess if Willo wants to play next year the "current thing" of doing that sounds like a good idea. Good to ice him for the big games coming after that (Saints/Pies/Crows/Eagles)..

              Our 2's have really been given a good rap this year, and I'll be crying if we lose a Mal-type player at the end of the year.

              Fast running side the Hawks, so a young boy like Schmidt would be a good idea. Hope the tackling stands up though..

                    I am very very cautious of this game against the hawks, we are travelling along greatly, playing good footy, and they have hit a bit of a bad patch, but i think these are the games in the past that teams take for granted (ala adelaide v richmond) and think all they need to do is show up to win.

                      No way should we take this game lightly. Who remembers 2003 after our big win at the Gabba, we came to the SCG playing the Hawks who were in poor form. What happens, blitzed in the first half and we couldn't recover from that.

                        I disagree with the concept of not changing the line up at any time when a team is winning.

                        Changing the line up should be desirable due to:
                        a) the need to rest & freshen up players like Willo, MOL, (c bolton, ablett if they are not 100%)
                        b) the present players are capable of covering weaknessess
                        c) the need to expose emergency/reserve players to top level for it to pay dividend later eg when a regular player gets injured etc.
                        d) it is a reasonable calculated risk with some change to face a weakened Hawk team

                        I agree with a guy saying this is the best round to give those named emergency in the past games exposure. This is more important than grabbing some higher % precentage points, though I think we would still gain % with the line up change.

                        The exposure will give us depth.

                          Pointing out that Bigfooty was crawling with users all of last week keen to emphasise the recordbreaking percentage-boosting win Adelaide was about to have over Richmond, is not negative. It's the truth.

                          We can debate forever whether anything posted on RWO ever has any impact on the playing group. But from long experience watching footy, I know that a team is far more likely to screw up against an unfancied opponent if it saunters in expecting to have an easy victory. And it's more likely to expect an easy victory, if the players are constantly told by the various media that they're bound to have an easy victory.

                            According to infuryupdate, Croad is also unavailable (although they also list Crawford as out and he played last weekend).

                            Will everyone's favourite victim Zac Dawson stand Barry? Or will their Roughhead play our roughhead?
                            Will Williams' speed be too much for Leo? Could Crouch handle him?


                            There's an expectation that Lance Franklin will return, he's been playing on the wing in the VFL. Would he line up on Goodes?

                              I would have said C.Bolton but if he is injured then maybe bring back Dempster?
                              He would definitely make Williams accountable.
