It's hard going on a wet track for both sides.

You can measure the Swans' workrate and success by contesteds and tackles. If anything the wet would help our game based on defensive pressure, winning contested ball and handball.

v North in Rd 4
CP: -9
Tackles: -10

v Freo in Rd 5
CP: +1
Tackles: +36

Plus key players didn't play well in first four games. Hannebery average 26 disposals last year; averaged 18 in Rds 1-4. Picked up 29 against Freo.

Buddy has averaged 3-4 goals in the past month. Apart from the Adelaide game, he think he kicked maybe 4 goals in the first month.
