Round 4 - Geelong

[TheHood]

This Geelong game will be an interesting test for the belief of the experienced boys and the courage of the kids. I don't think we can afford the clangers of last week and expect to get away with a win.

My view is that this is a very winnable game for the Swans but the the boys will have to take it to another level again. The performance needs to be more polished.

The big performers from last week look like they can go further; Mummy and Rohan can improve yet again. Need more from ROK and Macca.

Swans by 2 goals.

And Jude needs to lift if he's going to keep his place. 19 tackles - that leaves three of the opposition untackled. It's not good enough. Man up.

Might be difficult to "Man Up" if you're Untackled.......

For the sake of my health I hope it's not another close game. Swans by 24.

[dimelb]

3 goals plus. IF the midfield does the job, and IF our kicking is a little less wayward.

[Yuri H]

I'm with the If Crowd. If we kick straight, and if we play four full quarters (the curse of the Third Quarter Nap, &c), we can win. It'll be tough no matter what.

Having a look at the teams from the 2005 Semi Final just out of curiosity. Jeez there's a lot of Cats still there.

Geelong looked mortal yesterday.

They always do down at that dump of a joint kardinia park, or whatever it is known as now. Teams really should not bother venturing down there, you really dont have a hope in hell of winning....anyway onto the game on sat, I think it will be very tough to win, even at the SCG. They are near full strength and are still a VERY GOOD side. I believe they might just have a little too much for us in the end unfortuneately. Cats by 9.

[RogueSwan]

I picked a slight win by the Cats and hope to be proven wrong (with a Swans win and not a big win by the Cats).
The last few games may have used up our good luck for a couple of weeks.??

Terrific to see Ugg continuing his giant killing selections.

Terrific to see Ugg continuing his giant killing selections.

And I hope BH is a pessimist.

[Melbourne_Blood]

We should win the ruck dual, and our midfield can match it with theres. Its wether we can improve our skills. We'll have to make the most of our forward entries as there defenders will not give us much, and they could rip us up rebounding on the SCG.I think this game will tell us alot about where we are at, Geelong also. Swans by 16.

[satchmopugdog]

I love Jimmy Bartel. He makes me go all weak at the knees...I hope it is cold and he wears his longsleeved guernsey.....who cares about the result

[supersall]

Is the scarlet letter playing? If not, I think we have to worry a little less about theie defense. It's our defence I'm worried about.

[Peace]

Looks like the AFL.com preview isn't sure who's going to win again....

Cats by 8 points.... hope they get it wrong again this week!
