Crunch match for the Tiges: If we are really any good at all, we'll have to knock down those top 8.

Hall playing or injured still?
Hall is still suspended. Still got the cast on but should be playing in round 12.

And yes, this is a danger game. Tight tussle and tight contests. And no guesses but Bolton on Richo.

Yeah, he's only played a handful of games this year, but in the ones he had played he made a pretty significant impact. Awesome player :)

Good luck this week guys,

You're up against the #1 contested team in the comp so for us to win we'll have to beat you at your own game.

I think our skills aren't good enough to get us over the line, but my surprise tip for near BOG is Graham Polak, especially on the smaller SCG.

Definately a danger game, particuarly in the wake of the bruising match against Port. On paper we should win, on form we should win, but why do I feel nervous :confused:

Tigers are going along quite nicely. Im looking forward to the game, will be a tough one:thumbsu:
Likewise. :)

Apart from the SCG game last year, there have been some very close encounters between these two over the past few years.

Looking forward to seeing how Richo goes on Bolton around the ground if he gets the job. Surely Bolton can't go with him on the wing all day?

This is going to sound completely ridiculous, but I'm happier playing you guys in the daytime. Under lights, the Swans seem almost unbeatable.
I think it will be a good game. Swans should win and are certainly a better side.

Agreed. If we can keep the margin within 5 goals I'll be content. We haven't been disgraced so far this year, so I hope this game won't turn out to be like that.

Yeah it's interesting. A lot of opposition supporters seem to think the Swans prefer it it under lights and on small grounds. But I've always thought we play far better football in non-greasy conditions and with a bit of room to move. We can close with the best of them, and in recent years perhaps have been the most consistent team in this area, but our run and carry of halfback requires a lot of one-touch footy which seems to be harder in the dewy conditions under lights.

The last tigers game I went to, cant remember the year, it was a wet Sunday arvo. We went in as unbackable favourites, led narrowly all day only for Brown to kick a great goal that put the tigers in front right at the death. Richo was brilliant for a big bloke in wet conditions. Bolton had his colours lowered that day.

This year's tigers are a much better team than that one. It will take an effort similar to last weeks to subdue them.

I like LRT on Richo. Bevan on Brown. Jack on Foley (big job - Foley is a star).
Bolton C on Deledio maybe?

If they put Jake King on Moore, and I suspect they might, they should isolate him in the goal square and go long. Moore will kill him in the air.

So what is the go with Kennelly swans fans? I think he needs another week on the sidelines ;)
From what ive read he is a 50/50 to play. Im actually kind of hoping he doesnt play as last season we brought him back too soon and he was plagued with injuries for the rest of the season. I want Kennelly to be 100% fit before the Swans medical staff let him play.

Shoosh! That's our 19th man strategy... should be able to pick up Lids hiding from the action from there!;)

Seriously this is a super worry game... so many times crucial "should-win games" especially after hard fought slogs , put a unnecessary dent into the season.

Tigers have improved massively not a easy one at all!

Kennelly expected to come in this week. He trained well last night.

Goodes on Richo head-to-head... lets see how big Richo's tank really is.
Bugger. Our half-forwards are pretty lazy to be honest, given the chance to run off half-back on the small SCG ground he could be devastating.:(

Hmmm how many kilometers does Goodes cover though? Because Richo has been up around the 16 mark and then still goes back to Full-Forward and is devastating there.

I doubt Goodes and Richo will be on each other very long. I watched FoxSports News yesterday and Paul Roos says he might put Goodes on Richo but it probably wouldnt last very long because if he did Terry Wallace would just instruct Richo to play more forward and Paul Roos isnt willing to have Goodes play most of the game in the backline.
