    EM: 31. Todd KEATING (Never had him before)

    Coincidentally, we've had McBurney and Vozzo more than any other umpires since R1 2005.
    Next quiz night, I'm on your team.

    Hmmmm...the Dockers are in 5th spot for a reason. They have played brilliant footy at times this year and have become a tough, hard tackling side. They are as comfortable playing at Subi at the Swans are at the SCG. To suggest the only way they can win this is to play above themselves does the Dockers a huge disservice and indicates a memory of the Swans' form that stops a week ago. Sure they are missing some important players but then so are we.

    If Sandilands were fit, I would have the Dockers as clear clear favourites for this game. His absence gives the Swans a chance, IMO, but hardly turns them into raging favourites.

    This.

    If Barlow was still playing the odds against us would be about as bad as we've seen all year. I'm hoping our local kids (TDL and Jets) will lift the Swans and Pav will stay out of touch (maybe an injury?). If we play as we did the last two weeks we can win but if we are on an "off" week we could be hammered. Jets to kick 5 - he knows where the sticks are on this particular patch of the planet.

    Aren't the two Barlow stories odd and at odds.

    Theirs is a great athlete, can play a blinder and is no longer available as he gets stuffed by gawdawful injury.
    OUrs is a great athlete, is fine and available, but gets stuffed as far as playing is concerned as he can't play because he ...umm....can't play.

    Do you think they would consider a swap?

    Very true.

    Bay of Plenty v Auckland in the ITM Cup just wasn't the same as watching the AFL.
