Yep, it's the same mistake everyone makes each year.  The semis always pit big winners against big losers, and the temptation is to think that the winners have better form and should butter up.  We tend to remember only the last game.  But the stats show that the losers in the Qualifying Finals are very likely to win in the semis.  Remember 2011 when we humiliated Essendon in the EF but fell short in the semi against the Eagles (although only just).

Patrick Keane (AFL Media) has tweeted that Kreuzer is out and Casboult is in (with Sam Rowe added as an emergency).

There's also a massive difference between the 8 day break they have and the 6 day break for us.  Sydney should be favourites, but we're still in there with a chance.

SpecialK Out - Meat In

Casboult being not much use after half time might hurt us.

There seems to be some frustration with Krooz on here but he does a lot of unrewarded running.

Cas is next to useless for a third of the game when the tank goes.

Disappointed Kruz is out but but really pumped Levi is in… Got a feeling something special is coming from the big fella.

Special K didn't offer a lot post injury last week in any event.

Interesting that Swans' two KPPs down back are 192cm and 193 cm respectively. Grundy and Ted R.

Cas at 199cm has  a very big height advantage. Waite too is 194cm?

Cas the same height as Mumford btw.

@CIMM

Kreuz wasn't chasing mate he was hobbling I promise you.

Cas kicked 3 goals in the last 40 mins of our game vs Richmond a few weeks ago including two strong marks in the goalsquare. The comments re him running out of steam are a myth trust me. The Hawks game earlier in the year he was simply outplayed in the second half by a smarter B. Lake. Granted that's just one example.
