Back onto the game now,
I reckon if we can shut down the influence of Goodes on the ball & Hall or O'Lochlan up forward, then we will destroy them. Tazza will beat Bolton and Pebbles hopefully will snorg a few goals. Bucks will be Bucks & just rack 'em up as per usual.
It would be great to see someone step up that hasn't played particually well & dominate the game, the likes of Lonie or a game from Woey like Adelaide the first time we played them this year.
Pies by 28pts.

Mckee and Williams are extremely fortunate to be in the team still, I would have given McGough another go to prove himself and what more does Rupe have to do? 33 disposals I heard

Stick with a settled line up i say...
McGough always comes into the side, plays a blinder and then fades in the next week or 2 and gets dropped... geez, what do we all want from a kid... he's going to be such an asset in 2,3, 4 years time.... but not yet.
I must admit, im a fan of Rooop, but... Williams has got the edge at this stage...he's a touch quicker and more versatile.
And Brownlow McKee.... he was pivotal last year, and expect him to play a big part come finals....
We're going to run amok sat. night...

So bloody nevous about this game dudes! I REALLY wish I had the confidence of most of you. I would have dropped Willo for Molly at least. Shall keep everything crossed for Sat night. Go 'pies, do them by even a solitary goal, I dont care about the margin but just win!
I hope Walker plays a blinder.
Esto Collingwood Perpetua!

This is going to be one hell of a game.
The character of this Sydney side post-Rocket Eade has been transformed. Last year, they were both too old and too young, with a few middling players who just couldn't cut it.
Now those middling players - Jude Bolton, Kirk, Kennelly, Barry, Crouch - have improved their skills so dramatically, combined with a new game plan that encourages attacking football, that O'Loughlin and Hall are having a picnic.
Davis and Schneider have added class, and Craig Bolton has found his feet as a backman. Tarrant cut him to pieces when he was with Brisbane, but that's a year ago now. The oldies (Cresswell, Maxfield and Williams) are all giving great service.
And then there's Adam Goodes, who could be anything.
Collingwood can beat them, but the boys will want to squeeze every bit of extra big-match experience out of themselves. They'll want to hit them as hard as they can in that first half, because Sydney are great finishers. They have a knack for rolling over the top of sides.
The key players and match-ups will be Buckley, who needs a big one on Kirk; Clement on O'Loughlin and Rocca on Schauble. Sydney will be stretched down back without Saddington, but so will we minus Presti.
But the decisive battle will be in the ruck. Fraser and Goodes play similar brands of football, and whether they play on or off each other, I predict the one who has the greater influence on the match will decide the result.
Why? Sydney delivers the ball into its forward line probably more effectively than any other side, hence their accuracy. If Fraser can take control of the centre and McKee the stoppages, that will be vital to enhancing the chances of our ball carriers and limiting the effectiveness of theirs.
Tough call. Pies by 13 is the safe prediction, but this is a game that could go wonderfully right or horribly wrong. It will also be a telling indicator of how we're really travelling after the Brisbane aberration and the Adelaide equaliser.
GO PIES!!!

I hope we win but im not to confident our record v the swans has been dredful lately since 1995 we have played them 11 times for 2 wins and i know this is a new game but some teams play better against others. Sydney along with Brisbane, Essendon and the WCE have been our bogy side in the past 7 years 4 some reason we struggle and rarely win against those sides

It didn't matter who was chosen this week in the team, someone was going to be upset. Yes MCG, Molly and Rupe played great last week for Willy but our side beat the 2nd top team too. Who deserves to be dropped when you flog a team sitting 2nd on the ladder? To do this each person must've done their job so they deserve their spot.
I am with some of the others on this one......bloody nervous. The swans bother me. We need intensity at the ball from minute no.1 or this could be a tough night. If we are hard at the ball all night we'll get home, anything less than 4 qtrs and we are in trouble.

An article on Anthony Rocca from www.realfooty.com.au

A bird of a different feather

As the years go by, Anthony Rocca's memories of his uncomfortable, half-hearted and inevitably brief career as a Swan in Sydney have faded.
Rocca nominates himself, Matthew Nicks and Michael O'Loughlin as the three emergencies who went on to the ground before the 1996 grand final - his final act as a Swan. The third man was actually Simon Arnott. O'Loughlin played.
