20x200 (30) avg 34.0 Solo Nield Park


Saturday

6x300 (walk back) 45.8, 45.8, 44.4, 44.2, 42.8, 42.3. avg-44.2

Was supposed to be 45.0 avg as an active recovery but got carried away. I'm too pumped up for the GF, best day of the year. Got my snacks ready, Akira is running around like a maniac decorating the house, I could burst!

Should be an even contest very similar style of play, hard and fast, the clearances will be crucial with great outside men for both team. Apart from bucket loads of $$$ invested on the Swans I'm neutral and looking forward to enjoying the contest.

Lots of superstars in the game, for The Swans - Goodes and Kennedy with Jetta on the brink but the superstar edge is with The Hawks - Cyril, Buddy, Hodge and Burgoyne.

Bit nervous about The Swans coming out of defence with Richards and Shaw limited to their right boots and Malceski his left. The Pies forward press exposed this badly last week and bombing to a tall outside the 50m won't work as The Hawks will have Hale, Roughead and Buddy drifting to the arc and will apply too much pressure on Mummy, Pyke and Goodes. The running ability or lack thereof of Johnson, Grundy and Smith across half back will be tested, definitely the weakest line of either side on the field.

If the Hawks break even on clearances it's game over, Hodge and Cyril are just too classy with their delivery and nobody in The Swans capable of matching Buddy. I'll stick with the Swans for the win though, Longmire is a smart man, Kennedy, Jack and O'Keefe should be too fit and strong for Sewell, Mitchell and Lewis on the inside,
