Big game this week in terms of how our season will pan out. A win against the Swans will see us enter the bye with a 7-4 record with Lynch Balta & Lambert possible inclusions when we return from the bye in a fortnight. It's not going to be easy as the Swans will be desperate to make amends for their loss to Carlton last week especially back at home at the SCG. I think we're in a position where it's pretty much a free swing for us given we're outsiders with the bookies and tipsters alike.
IMO I think we'll try and keep the 2 KPF up forward as playing Riewoldt one out as a tall will just play into the Swans hands as they'll simply zone off and double/triple team him. Soldo has shown in recent weeks that he can have an impact up forward clunking big marks and hitting the scoreboard and at the smaller SCG he doesn't need to get on his bike and lead up to the wings, we can use Jack in that role and have Soldo and Nank(when resting) sitting deep forward to either mark it or create a contest that brings it to ground that allows Bolton D.Rioli Edwards & George go to work on the deck.
Down back I think we can cover Buddy with a combination of Tarrant Grimes Broad & Vlastuin being able to work as a unit to lessen his impact. The midfield is going to be a fantastic battle, last year the Swans mids cut us to bits with their run and carry on our home ground, so I expect our guys looking to get some revenge on them on their dung heap.
