I rate them very highly and they will definitely be in the 8 at the end of this year, and i agree with you on their midfield and forward their defence maybe 1 or 2 good players off being good so yeah should be a good match.
Get ready for another close one.

I think it will be easy. We've been done at the SCG by Carlton/Geelong and we were in both games. Hawthorn smacked us fair and square however we will do this pretty comfortably i'm sure. Back in form, home ground, Sunday arvo, Richmond off the bye = WIN.

When everything points to a Swans win is when I get the most worried.

Their speed is a worry. Hawthorn really exposed us by moving it quickly at the SCG. Our midfield need to be as prominent as they were against the Lions, because the Tiges will hurt us if they get too much of the footy.

Yeah I think this is going to be a tough game ... However if we can put in a strong performance, it will hold us in good stead against Carlton and Collingwood in the following fortnight!

That could be a problem against this mob. Their ruck division his been travelling well. I don't like the idea of rain we haven't performed well in the rain this year & seem to prefer the big grounds to the SCG.

By the way going out to ANZ to watch the game against the Pies, I live in Lilyfield, are there buses up Para Rd that go there? If not I suppose I'll have to get train.
