    Too early to predict. Kennedy isn't even in Perth yet. Safe journey, Josh.

      I'm fairly confident. Jack should play well without Crowley on his back and Ballantyne out means their forward line is less potent.

      On the balance of changes I think we're slightly stronger than when we faced them in the finals last year.

        They are playing well! Should be a really good game. I think Rohan will be sub.

          Josh had a boy. Maybe there will be a third Kennedy F/S, but this time he will be a swan? Kennedy's arrival delays departure - sydneyswans.com.au

            Am I correct in saying only one of the emergencies travels to Perth? @swansreserves is reporting that towers isn't playing reserves because he is in Perth but I thought hiscox had gone to Perth

            I'm worried if towers doesn't play a full game this week after being sub last week

              I'm sure they take 2 emergencies interstate. If they don't then they are 2 pregame injuries away from Kenny playing.

                Will be an exceptionally tight game I think. They are in immense form- their first quarter in particular against Wet Coke last week was unbelievably good. If we are even a little bit off, we will get rolled.

                  A question to somebody who knows more about these things than I do: I notice that Jack Hiscox has been named as an emergency, does this mean that he's already been showing a lot of promise in the reserves? Or is it more along the lines of taking a youngster on a trip interstate, just to experience what's involved?

                    Everyone keeps talking about Gaz as sub but seriously, I am loving Isaac and GR's fwd pressure, something that was missing last year, I think that is his role - he is going to tear one up in the front half shortly and this week could be it people!!

                      I would think a bit of both.

                        I'm with you on this...At times I think back to the 2 recent ambushes we've suffered over there...

                        One being an Anzac day clash some years ago...And think we'll get rolled.

                        At other times I think, surely we've learnt our recent lessons, and we'll turn up all guns blazing...If so we'll win.

                        If we can match or better them for intensity, and on the score board, in the first quarter, we'll give it a real shake.

                          Two quality teams - will come down to who can kick straightest .
                          Pav's boot could be the difference.
                          He's so good .

                            Think of how we turned up against Port Adelaide, a match I thought we couldn't win(gladly, more fool me!), and we dismantled them. While Freo seem a cut above Port at the moment, I am confident that we can get the job done, but admittedly, I see a much greater tussle ahead to achieve the win. Should be a cracker!

                              Hiscox seems to be traveling for the experience because his performance in the reserves was underwhelming.
                              We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

                                So let me get this straight. If we have a couple of late outs, then Hiscox will come into the team. Not Mitchell. Not Jones. Not Robinson. I have absolutely no idea.
