A lot needs to change before this game.

Can not turn up thinking this will be a win.

Out: Durdin, E Hollands, Fantasia

In: Motlop (hopefully) Moir... ??

I'm sure there is plenty more deserving to be dropped but i can't be bothered working out how the hell to replace them.

Don't like playing two rucks, especially with a slow midfield. Pittonet out and DeKoning/McKay to share ruck duties.
Simply can't play Fantasia or Durdin.
O Hollands can't break or stick a tackle and I'd happily give Binns a go.
Hopefully Saad and Fogarty return.

Saad is due back, that would be huge if he's not underdone. Our inability to break out of defence is killing us, a bit better since Gov came back but if we have Saad and a fit Williams then it becomes a strength.

Let's not forget we're unbeaten with Fog this year, how many did we lose with him last year, one? No Fog No Party.

Must have him confused with someone else.

we need to win this and win big. home turf, they played in the heat, we only played a quarter. despote the extra day break, if we are fair dinkum,, we belt these guys

but they were terrific against the cats last night, so they will be chock full of confidence. and they seem to have a solid game plan

the seasons not over if we lose this one, but its a long way back

i hope weiters plays

The Suns have the cattle to run us off our feet. Miller will go to Cripps and Rowell to Walsh and their midfield depth will be a problem.

The suns will be confident, & fair enough too

The thing we have in our favour is they are an incredibly flaky team & don't travel well

Win this and we are 7-4 with a much easier draw in the back half. Not time for panic

Our run over the next 3 weeks is not significantly easier. GC have a good, young and dynamic midfield. Port have the same and we’re playing over there where we have not been great and to cap it off we’ve got the Junkies, who’ll love nothing more than rubbing our noses into it.

7-4 sounds good, 6-7 also sounds possible

Get the tackling bags out during the week and we may be in with a chance...

A few weeks ago we were talking about how good our tackling is these days, but last night was back to the bad old days of being swatted away like mozzies. Is it that our best tacklers are out, playing hurt, was it the slippery conditions, Swans just being 10% stronger than the rest of the AFL, our attitude, all of the above, none of the above?? Not sure Suns are particularly brutish so hopefully less of an issue next week.

Agreed but conversely lose this and we’re in trouble. Will be pushing shit up hill from that point just to scrape into the 8 if we’re lucky. Big game. Need to see a response.

Hoping the game in Darwin will have taken a bit out of them.
Suggestions that Saad and Fogarty will return.
Fingers crossed Weitering gets up.

Yes, but our next 3 games after this are against Port in Adelaide, Essendon*, Bye, then Geelong. 8 out of 9 games From GWS on are brutal. Gets easier after that but we want to do well the next few weeks. Next week is a must.
