    Lots of bumps and bruises and sore bodies, I guess we might expect a very physical encounter.
    Watching ch 10 sports report tonite in melb which noted the amount of doggies under a injury cloud... Aker, Ben Hudson, Lindsay Gilbee, Shaun Higgins, Johnno (didnt train), and Robert Murphy (only ran laps).

    Surely this is the best time to get the dogs this year, with massive injury concerns and no confidence...

    That's a worry, every time it's been "THE BEST TIME" to get a team recently, we have failed miserably.......

    PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE!!

    The doggies love to run and carry. We must tackle (and not allow the arms to get free) like their lives depend on it, hunt in numbers and work our butts off running forward and back.
    Swannies for life!

    Yes that's a worry, don't we go in as underdogs being so old and slow?

    We have won 6 quarters out of 8 vs Dogs this year, we need to improve on that only slightly.

    They are in disarray, cut out all the bs challenging them from Smorgon and Eade we need to pressure them early and kick long into the forward line.

    We need to go defensive on their half back runners Gilbee etc. Cooney dropped his bundle on Friday night we need to hit him hard early.

    We can win the taps lock it up or jag it quickly to Goodes and co, if we play reasonably they cannot contain our forward line, don't see their way to goal except for the free kicks Johnno will keep staging for.

    Go Bloods we have a real opportunity to make our 4th prelim in 6 finals.

    The results this year show that we need to:

    1. Hold the doggies in the second quarter. Arising from the two matches played this year between the two teams, in the second quarters, the Dogs lead the Swans by an incredible 15 goals to 2!!

    2. Lead at half time. This year the Swans have led at half time 9 times, and have never thereafter lost the game.

    Perhaps we should also try to kick more than 6 goals by half time. This year we have kicked 6 goals or less by half time on 13 occasions, winning just 3 of them. When we kick 7 goals or more, we have won on all 10 occasions.

    Nice stat NMW,lets just hope we can kick more than 6.If we end up around the 50 point mark by half time i reckon we will win.

    I usually want to play a team at full strength, but in finals time that goes by the wayside a tad... I really like Robert Murphy and I think he is a guy that could absolutely turn a final on its ear.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
