Just wondering, with jack, vickers and Edwards, who plays as the 3rd tall?. Just feel andy mac or Duigan need to play

I remember a few years ago we played Geelong, who played Hawkins, JPod and Mooney. We went in seemingly one tall short but we played Walker on one of them. We smashed Geelong that day by 6 goals and part of that Walker killing them running off their static talls. The 3 amigos killed them for pace that day running into an open forward line, alot coming from our run out of defence.

However it pans out, I hope our boys are watching tonight's game. An object lesson in how it's done (mainly by the Dawks).

Unfortunately Walker's defensive side has been exposed badly down back in the second half of the season, Fremantle really found him out a few weeks back. I wouldn't want him on Edwards no way. I guess if we stop decent supply from the midfield we're halfway there.

Definitely how to apply pressure and keep the pressure on for 4 quarters. You would think the Swans would have played better tonight because of the last game. Hodge being a danger guy tonight.

The stakes are higher after the Swans were plucked.  Biggest loss under Longmire.  Maybe McVeigh injured, and a few of their guys were exposed for their lack of preparation - Rohan, Hanneberry, and Jetta.  That was a bit of a warning shot were the Swans considering bringing back Goodes and LRT.  A preliminary final may well be on the line on Sunday.

Biggest los was 46 points and now 54 points, but man they looked flat after half time. Poor recovery or lack of it between the ears. No franklin and Rioli could have made an ugly final even worse. If the Swans can be beaten it is now.

Think we should definitely reconsider Casboult's selection - I think, after watching the Swans tonight, I'd prefer to see Duigan back as another midfield rotation who can put his body into the clearances and disputed possessions as well as being an extra defender if needed.

Not liking us going into this game with Krooze, Warnock and Levi in the side. 

We could be exposed for a lack of pace.   Get sn injury and we will be even more exposed.

Remember first  Saints game.  We lost Ellard and yarran early and got stuck playing 3 big men.
