Swans are firing on all cylinders at the moment. Leaving aside I. Zucchini, they have plenty of stars going through that midfield, the highest %, highest points for and lowest against. They will be our toughest opponent to date. I can't see a win to be honest.

A big test of our toughness and nous.

Yes. There's a sizeable body of work recently that suggests we won't be blown away, and we are a real chance to win every game. But the Swans are a pretty tall order at the moment IMO.

Big no to Williams this week.  Get fit first.

Yep. The one potent thing we're confronted with against the Fluffy Ducks is that they maintain pressure for four qtrs. We tend to have a lapse in just about every game, and that's all they will need to open up a lead... and keep it.

All of our defenders and our defensive structures stood up very well to intense pressure last week.  Apart from Petracca, all of the Melbourne forwards were well beaten.

I would be inclined to go with the same seven this week unless there’s a compelling match up for Williams AND he’s completely fit.

Not that long ago Boyd was the whipping boy, now I feel assured when I see him with the ball and even near the ball.  Not saying Cowan will do the same but I hope he does.  Our mate Marchbank might have other feelings about Boyd though.

Marchbank and Boyd play different roles.

Marchbank plays a similar role to McGovern and Kemp
