Elimination Final v Carlton - Including Teams

[Triple B]

I'm a Bulldog fan, always have been, but I honestly wouldn't be hugely disappointed if Rohan got the nod this week.

It'll be a tough call for the coaches.

Someone will have a stat for goal assists, either the guy delivering to the goaler or the player involved before him. I reckon that is Moore's biggest strength. He has terrific vision and awareness.Anyway, enough from me on Bulldog.

When you think of the games me has missed with inyury he would most likely be about the same as Goodes or Jack if he played every game.
His numbers are preety good.

No doubt Moore will play and he deserves his spot IMO. White being named on the bench is the interesting one for me. As impressive as Reid's debut was it'd be a huge ask to expect him to play a knock out final in his second game in seniors. He might be up to it, but it's pressure he doesn't need yet. MOD won't play and Rohan will be the one called on if anyone else is hurt. Go Swans!!!!!!

With Grigg being ruled out, match committee would be seriously looking at playing Reid up forward with White and then having Goodes start in the middle and push forward.

Three tall targets and a mid sized marking forward in TDL will cause some real issues for a Carlton backline that struggles at the best of times.

But in the end it will come down to our midfield, get our hands on the ball first or put enough pressure on to make them cough it up going forward and our running backs in Mal, Tiger, Mattner and Shaw will go to town.

What does Grigg have to do with all that? He's an outside mid.

I know for almost all Swans fans the SCG v ANZ debate is a no-brainer, SCG in a landslide. That said, it might interest many to know that the Swans have a far better record at Homebush in Finals games in terms of percentages.

At the SCG, Sydney has won 4 lost 1, with the only lost to the reigning as well as eventual Premiers, Adelaide, in 1998 by 27 points. However all four wins were thrillers, 6 points against Hawthorn (1996), 1 point against Essendon (1996), 3 points against St Kilda (1998), and 3 points against Geelong (2005).

At ANZ, Sydney has won 3 and lost 1, with the only lost also against the reigning as well as eventual Premiers, Brisbane, in 2003 by 44 points. However, by contast to the SCG their wins were all comfortable, against West Coast 41 points (2004), Fremantle 35 points (2006), and North 35 points (2008).

The Swans percentage at the SCG is 96.12, whilst at Homebush it is 122.26.

Roosy just fronted the Media. He said Tadhg will definitely play, Hanners 95%, Mummy 70%.

If Mummy is 70% you don't play him right? It's either mind games or he's not in. You don't take injured players into Finals.

If Mummy is gone, Pyke starting, bench;

Moore, Jetta, White, Rohan/Ried?
