    Then there is the Malthouse curse.

    Has had more losses than wins as a coach against the Swans (by 1)

    Thanks for that stat. Reassuring.

    Can you tell me when the last time was that the Swans won against a Malthouse-coached team and what the record shows for the last 10 games or so (too lazy to look myself)?

    It was 2005. We didn't beat them again til Buckley took over (prelim).

    There would have been 10 losses in a row.

    Collingwood did, and still does, have a much better list than Carlton.

    True. However, he always stated that he knew how to beat Sydney and that would appear to be borne out in his (recent) coaching record against us.

    Nevertheless, I believe the Port game was an abomination and that, even with a long list of outs, we should be able to account for Carlton at home tomorrow night.

    Selections will be interesting.

    I'd like to see BJ in for Goodes (as sub with Lamb taking Goodes' role). Everitt in for Armstrong (Membrey if Dre unfit).

    Maybe even (as suggested elsewhere) Jack to start with Bolton on the bench (but I doubt it).

    I hope Chops gets a full game.

    Horse's game plan is very different from when Malthouse was last coaching.

    Plus he generally had better cattle, nothing to do with his coaching genius

    Agree with the first part.

    Not so sure about the second. '06-'08 we were at least as good or better. He knew how to beat us then.

    By rights we should smash them in the midfield this time around. On the SCG, that's the most important pointer to us winning...

    Anyone want to guess the changes this week?

    I would like

    In: Everitt Towers (barely deserves it but injuries stacking up, Cunningham if he had match fitness)
    Out: Goodes Armstrong (plays too light for a wet game)

    Jude sub

    but more likely to be:

    In: Everitt
    Out: Lamb

    If it's wet then drop White. Tippett can pinch hit in the ruck.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
