Round 10 - Richmond

[Cheer Squad]

Our recent record against the Tigers is pretty good, and we should win without too much trouble this Sunday afternoon, but I wouldn't take it for granted. Swans by six goals (or thereabouts).

The Tigers will come out firing and their form has been pretty good this season. Restricting Richo to the wing will make it tough for them to kick goals and a good job on Nathan Brown is required to avoid a repeat of Port's fightback. Swans should be too strong in the backline and hopefully the forwards get plenty of opportunities to score.

Swans by 28.

Poor tiggers. Good news is that the tiggers fan who sits next to me at the footy will be home from England this weekend to see the game and watch them lose again. About bloody time!!

Where's the "we're gunna rip them a new one" option??

40+

Looking forward to the comedy stylings of Richo this weekend.

Us by 10 - 19

Richmond are at an interesting stage - going by their performances against the better sides they look to have improved a @@@@load, but as is often the case when you have a string of games where you play some good footy but don't get the points, the one you do end up winning (in their case, Essendon) is often the one where you don't play that well. They probably would have demolished Essendon had they been on their game the other night, the Bombers' first half was worse than their second half against us. I think we'll probably win comfortably as while the Tigers have improved, they haven't "arrived" just yet.

For us there are no gimme games any more. Even if they are on a paper at least, the Swannies sometimes find a way to make it really difficult.

im concerned about our ability to shut richo down this year, he has taken his performance to a new level

this wont be an easy game

[Plugger46]

This one is not a walk in the park. If our intensity is off, we'll get beaten. It's a game we should win, but I haven't pencilled it in.

[ScottH]

Richmond have been firing in recent weeks, but there skill level has been letting them down. As a few others have said, it is no certainty this w/e, but we should be able to win if we treat the tiges with a bit of respect.

[swantastic]

We have to shut down Richo,Foley and Brown.

I dont see why we cant play risky football and take em on,i know we can do it and we can do it well and i know i'm not the only supporter who likes it.

The Tigers will be no easy beats this weekend but we should account for them comfortably.

[TheHood]

Are we getting a bit paranoid here. The Tigers have improved on what they once were but Swans won't hit the panic button this week.

Sydney have to apply good pressure right across the park and there is no need to shut this guy down or that guy down. The job needs to get done by all. 2008 is the Year of the Swarm Defence.

Despite the fact that I will be at the game and I have yet to see a win at the SCG, I hope we will win by 3-4 goals.

[reigning premier]

Tiggers = Bummers = Carlton = Melbourne.

Though Carlton id probably the one to break away from that bunch of rabble.

A win by 10 goals or more is required on our home ground. Anything less is unacceptable.

[dread and might]

We have to shut down Richo,Foley and Brown.

Agree, they are the danger players.

Maybe a repeat of the dream team game and put Goodes on Richo?

Foley will get the hard tag, (Jack?)

[Zlatorog]

If Davis is allowed back into the seniors he'll replace Bird. The youngster needs a bit of run in the reserves. There are some though games coming I wouldn't risk him.
