Where SCG
When Saturday Night 7.25pm est
Having grown up not far from the Saints old home ground at Moorabbin, I must admit i have a slight soft spot for them. After all they gave us Plugger and Hall which in the case of the latter probably gave us the 2005 premiership. A soft spot is only just that though, it only means that of the 17 other clubs, I hate them the least.
Although we still haven't played Fremantle, Geelong or Adelaide we meet the Saints for the 2nd time this year (The week after playing GWS for the second time), the AFL fixture just never ceases to amaze.
The SCG hasn't been a happy hunting ground for the saints of late having not won there since 2009, coincidently the last time we didn't play finals. Is this an omen? I think not the Saints were 19 and zip when they played us on that occasion and I'm almost certain there will be no late Andrew McQualter heroics to stop the rampant swans on this occasion.
Both sides are on 36 points with the swans sitting 6th and the saints 9th. Stating the obvious this is a massive game for both sides. A win for either team means they're one step closer to September, a loss one step closer to booking the end of season trip away.
Teams
Potential Swans outs
Reid (groin or potentially any other body part)
Rohan (hammy)
Swans ins
Aliir
Aliir
(That's for you Ceasar 88)
Saints outs
Gilbert
(Potentially a few others given the hiding they just copped)
Saints ins
Who cares
Key Match Ups
Josh Kennedy vs Jack Steven
Buddy vs Jake Carlisle
Sir Dane vs Nick Riewoldt (probably for the last time)
Summary
If the Saints show up they can cause problems for the best of teams, so please Swans no first quarter no shows like we did vs Gold Coast, Collingwood or Hawthorn. We need a big first quarter and the game is ours. Looking forward to what should be a comfortable win.
PS Cause I was board I tried to make up a team of players that have played for both teams. Help me out if you can think of any others.
