Maybe someone's said this elsewhere ... but SURELY the Swans won't pick Peter Everitt this week?
He's a liability we can't afford.
Here's an interesting (concerning?) stat:
Sydney hasn't won a night game in Melbourne since round 9, 2006. That match was against Hawthorn at the MCG. Since then we've lost 6 in a row.
Just a bad run of luck or is there something else to it?

Stuff the stats - if we do all the basics well we should win.
To win against the Dogs we must...
...play with confidence and kick to advantage.
To be honest i don't think we play the MCG very well due to it being much larger than what we are used to, but you have to adapt and surely if Sydney can adapt to Subiaco the biggest playing field in the land then we should know how to work our gameplan to affect on the MCG.
Smash them at the centre clearances and put their backline under severe pressure.
Certainly the Hawks showed if you can pressure there backline they make crucial errors by hand coming off halfback, handballs missed targets just about everytime and they built up to Hawthorn goals.
if they play with the intensity of last week especially after half time, that'll do me win lose or draw, as long as they ahead when the final siren sounds.

Norf and Saints back to back last year at the Dome. Just interesting that's all. Was listening to Roos' response when asked a question about preparation for a night match in his press conference today and thought I'd look it up.
You can listen to it here.
