    You are probably right.

    I was at that Rd 21 game as well having travelled down. I was in too much shock having watched the Swans get done in Sydney and then again in Melbourne.

    In that case, we might be in serious trouble if the others don't step up.

        Do we tag Heath Shaw? So far this year it's proven to be a winning tactic. Would suck for my Dream Team though!

        I wouldn't be surprised to see Bevan line up next to him.
        And the man who started it all, the Schneiderman . . . . .

          Yep. Play Bevan at HF on Shaw. If that fails, perhaps move Mattner on to Shaw. It would solve a nice little debate I'm having with a Pies fan about who is having the better season!
          Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

            Looking forward to this match.Collingwood are talking about playing three talls (Fraser,Wood and Bryan) along with Cloke.It is looking like Spida will return for us so we will have two top big men along with our players who play tall.Saw C'Wood train and they looked sharp.Have just seem MOL on telly and he says they know their game plan and it's up to the players to play to it.
            Should be a cracker and I hope we can finally get the points over them.

              Buttercup ran rings around Melcho last year at Homebush, even though he is slightly down this season he can be very damaging if he gets his confidence up. If Bevo takes Shaw who can run with the Blonde Troll?

                Mattner perhaps.

                      Also known as Warwick Cappers Love Child (as of today). My guess is Cracker will take him, nail him and run off the showpony. Wazza's Love Child is very very unaccountable.

                        I was totally confident about this, but I'd forgotten about our slow re-starts. Our Q1 against St Kilda in round one was probably our worst quarter for the season.

                        That's why everyone got a week off last week, says Roos:
                        Moment of truth for Swans - AFL - Fox Sports

                        Swans should win -- we have a lot more run and carry than last year and Hall is fit again. But the Pies are coming off two losses in a row. I reckdon first quarter will tell.

                          This is such an important game for me.
                          If the Swans lose, any H & A game, then that may be offset by a Collingwood loss - I won't feel as bad.
                          If Collingwood win, then I am in a bad mood that will only be helped with a Swans win.

                          So when the Swans play the Wobbles, it's all on the line.
                          Either really happy or really pissed off.
                          The only small plus is that my best friend (Collingwood supporter) is still in Ireland.
                          The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

                            There is so much being said about The Swans past failures against the Pies, I hope the young blokes enthuse the old blokes to just forget about all that and go out and play aggressively, with some tempo footy when necessary to starve them of the ball like they have in many quarters over the past 6 winning games, ferocious tackling and kicking straight for goals early on will be the winning formula.

                            Any drowsiness in the first quarter would be stressful for all supporters.

                              Interesting that an article lobed up today on the Swans website about Brabazon.

                              Could he be in line for a debut in place of Goodes?
