As much as I'd love to wear the charcoal guernsey to the game I will be donning the orange guernsey.
More orange at the stadium the better

Clearances and contest. If we can bring our best pressure of the season to halve this part of the game, then we are a chance.

Toby Bedford will be given until Thursday to prove his fitness for Saturday’s Qualifying Final.
Toby Bedford trained on Tuesday morning and will need to get through Thursday’s main training to prove his fitness for this weekend’s Qualifying Final against the Swans.
Bedford was a late out for the side’s round 24 clash with the Bulldogs due to calf soreness.
The versatile mid-forward will continue to increase his training load this week in order to prove his fitness for Saturday’s blockbuster clash.
Jake Riccardi has completed a full week of contact training and has been medically cleared for selection.

Honestly can't tell if that sounds positive for Bedford or not? If he trained today hopefully he'd be able to complete training on Thursday too.
Riccardi back will be good. He's a minor upgrade on Keeffe, but you never know when he's going pop up and kick a few goals. Makes our attack that bit more dangerous.

Yep, assume Riccardi comes back in for Keeffe as KPF/ruck chop-out. Interestingly though, I thought Cadman played his best game when he was back up ruck a few weeks ago, getting more involved across the park.
Jake is a bit of a mixed bag, but as a natural forward he has a much better chance of scoring goals than Keeffe.

given it’s a calf id say if it’s sore he doesn’t play. Being an explosive player if he plays then the calf is fine

He may as well get used to running with sore calves to prepare him for his 30s and 40s.
I think Lachie ash slipped up in his press conference
He said “ we are really healthy, I think it’s only Toby Bedford that won’t be available”
So that really sucks
And the swans have so many players we would need him to tag

The Swans have such an even spread of contributors in the midfield that I'm not even sure it helps a huge amount if you tag one out.
We might almost be better off just putting Peatling in there instead. Have him play that defensive midfield role that he's been very good at. Laying tackles on anyone who tries to get out with the ball. I reckon that'll work just as well for us, if not better, than attempting to tag a single player.
Looks like Lachlan McKirdy is at the Swans training session at the SCG today so it's unlikely we'll hear anything about Bedford until the club releases information.
Actually, scratch what I said earlier..
6:20 today will be interesting..
