[shaun..]

I hope for a better first half display. Swans by 16

[swansrule100]

they will struggle after the trip to tassie us by more than 40

It'll be a close contest. Swans should be up and about after destroying Essendon at home but come up against Port at AAMI who have been playing good footy for the past month. Port will choke in the final quarter again. Swans by 16.

This is a game that could go to either team however I do think that it will be close. Surely we're due to win a close one. Sydney by 1-9 for me.

I don't rate Port this year. Even when they've been winning, I still haven't rated them. They just don't seem that good. They don't look threatening to me. We SHOULD win this, moderately comfortably.

[Robbo]

They will pretty much be playing for their season. They will be pretty hungry.

We have a pretty good record against Port in general. Them with Brisbane are pretty much our bogey side; they struggle with the way we dominate the stoppages. Their smaller fast running players get tackled off the ball & often lose confidence completely.

It would be good to win. In theory we probably should. But which Swans team is going to turn up, the one in the 1st half? Or the one in the 2nd yesterday?

I see there is some pessimism in other threads as to whether we can win the return encounter with Port.

We've played the Power 7 times at AAMI stadium for 4 wins and 3 losses. They seem to be travelling better at the moment than they were in Round 2. We will be minus Hall and Kennelly, they will be minus Shaun Burgoyne from the look of things.

We can probably win narrowly. Swans by 9 (I hope).
