feel bad for Suckling after last year

[Mr.Craig]

You know things are bad when your team can only get three former players in the grand final.

Dogs not naming Suckling so stupid.

Why? His form hasn't been anything special and every player has performed well for the last couple of weeks. Jong is more stiff to miss than Suckling.

Experience wins flags, ask Eagles and Dockers how they went. Yes Jong is stiff as well

By that logic we're screwed anyway since we were the youngest team in the finals (yes, younger than GWS). I don't think our players give a shower about what we're meant to do based on imaginary notions. Good players playing well wins flags. 20 year old Bont won't suck because he hasn't played 200 games. Daniel and Dunkley have been a couple of our best preformed players this finals series. These guys took down Hawthorn and their experience.

In a nutshell I disagree.

I don't think their losing much if anything by not having Suckling in the team, the tweets I read yesterday morning from their training session most leant towards him not looking anywhere near 100% fit with the achilles still, he was fairly ordinary when the Dogs played the Swans in round 15. If he was fit he'd probably be better at the "G" but it sounds like he isn't.
Dogs have rolled the swans last two times they've played both at the SCG by a kick, think they'll feel even more confident on the larger MCG which I think suits their fast movement better.

I to feel Jong is stiff, always a hard luck story but who do you drop they've all been good.
One of the keys for the Dogs is the midfield battle, Swans ranked 2nd for clearances and the Dogs 3rd, I look forward to this duel. The other I think is keeping Buddy contained, Swans are at the top of the tree for inside 50's so he's going to have plenty of opportunities to hurt the Dogs. He hasn't kicked a bag in a final yet this year but he's been damaging hitting the packs and further up the ground and has had a bit of influence in the Swans 1st quarter blitzes against the Crows and Cats.
The Dogs defence is pretty solid they'll have done their homework no doubt, I look forward to this battle also, if Buddy gets off the chain it could be the difference.

The game statistically is set up to be a cracker I just hope the weather isn't foul and the conditions allow for the best from both sides and we get what I think is going to be a very good game of footy to watch.

Morning showers ... hopefully clear by bounce-down!  :-X   ;)

[Money Shot]

Swans to win comfortably behind a bag from Franklin

Dogs keep winning as underdogs they must love that most are tipping the Swans

Bont not greatest kick could easily get the better of him like it did for Dickson last week. Could be another Balla, Fyfe scenario where if they kick straight they can win the game

What are the odds McVeigh's calf goes pop again ?
