    Don't want to sound pessimistic but:

    The situation for Friday could not be better set up for a sucker punch/rope a dope scenario.

    Sacked coach, Swans off the biggest game of the year on a 6 day break, Blues players playing for survival, betting odds somewhere around 5 to 1 against Carlton, wet night. Could be the Doggies game all over again.
    We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

    Hopefully our players are well aware of the good record sides enjoy following the sacking of a coach and react accordingly by not going in over confident..

    Just our luck.

    First the weather, and now a team trying to impress a new coach!!

    In my experience, usually what happens is if a coach is sacked but he stays on for a last game, the players will really put an effort in for him. So this situation would have me nervous. But if Malthouse is gone immediately and this Fri is a new coach, especially a caretaker, I'd be less worried. I'm assuming he is gone immediately given the bad blood this week between him, LoGiudice and Trigg.

    I'd give you Round 13, 2002, but Rocket resigned.
    Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

    The Blues list isn't capable of an upset of this magnitude, even playing full tilt. Our Swans, well aware of the importance of percentage at the business end of the season won't be taking this game, or any game for that matter, lightly. I would relax a bit, I think we'll be fine.
