If Kennelly and Malceski don't get up, perhaps we'll see Bvan and Smith back in.

I would have thought MOD would be a likely replacement for either HBF position, but only if both Kennelly and Eski don't make it.

our 22 is better and we should win regardless of our history vs the crows. If we don't win I will be furious.

There is a good chance you will be furious then! They will be breathing fire in front of there home crowd over there, I just cant see us winning at all, even with our performance and theirs over the weekend. Id be glad to get within 3 goals then hopefully smash richmond in rd 3 to get on the board.

We certainly won't need all of Richards, LRT and Grundy against the midget Crows forward line (except Tippett of course).

LRT on Tippet, Grundy on Walker, Bolton on Porplyzia, Richards to do his usual thing.

Craig is worried, their supporters are worried and i bet the players are too.

They are underdone and overated. We have a red hot chance, get off to a good start and it's over...we'll send them right to the bottom of the ladder.

I have a feeling TDL will be put into the side before Vez.... he is that talented small forward we need which i believe will shine once he finds his groove. no idea who he would replace though...

I don't think anyone who's watched a Swans-Crows game in the last decade could have much confidence of a win.

Eski will play, so we don't need cover for him. Hannebery could come in for Kennelly, I know they play different positions but Shaw could go back and have more space with Kennelly out and Hanners would play through the middle delivering those beautiful passes to Goodeshawhite.

Freo buried The Crows with an above average skill level and 90% perpetual motion. They reached a new benchmark for their team.

Realistically, Swans will have to lift considerably in both these areas to have a hope of reversing the appalling history they have against this club.

The time is well and truly up to beat them.

What confidence you show for us to beat a team we havent since 2004! Id probably agree with you IF it was at the SCG, even then though we have struggled to beat them there! At moron park they are a 5-6 goal better team and the crowd just lifts them. I hope upon hope that you are right though, it would be great for roosy to go out in his last year with wins against bogey teams adelaide and collingwood.
