      I'm sure those odds will gradually fall in our favour as the week goes on, especially if we can get any of Rohan, Lloyd, Reid, Kennedy (less likely) etc. cleared to play

        Often when a team loses its best player, the others realise that the focus is on them and they make a big effort and raise their performance. So I wouldn't take Geelong lightly at all. They're a good team playing with a big home ground advantage. They're in 2nd place, so they must be doing something right.

          With the narrower ground Tippett should play this week
          He ate more cheese, than time allowed

            Kardinia Park was a fortress long before Dangerfield arrived. They aren't going to be a pushover without him.

              Yep, I agree. I am sure Longmire will preach this all week; it was a theme of yesterday's presser. He also hinted we wouldn't be conservative with Kennedy with an eye to the finals, as we had to make them first. I'd be happy for him to play, win, then miss a week or two. Whether he's in or out, Jones and Heeney need to stand up. Jones has dropped off a little of late, after being key to our revival.

                  You wonder if the bookies have a source inside the Swans? Does this mean they think Joey is in?

                    I wonder when was the last time Geelong weren't favourites at Skilled? Must be over a decade ago

                        .. or McVeigh out.

                          Even if Joey is in it seems well off. Although I thought that when we were favourites before the second Western Bulldogs game.

                            We were favourites v the Hawks.

                                Yeah, but that's always bloody fraught.
