GET TO the MCG on Friday night if you can for the 'Buddy' Franklin show. The Sydney Swans’ superstar is back at the 'G for just the second time this season and he is in breathtaking form. Last Saturday's fourth-quarter heroics against Port Adelaide inspired the Swans' eighth straight win and cemented them as premiership favourites, with wins against Fremantle, Geelong and the Power in that streak. Richmond defender Alex Rance shapes as Franklin's opponent on Friday night as the Tigers chase their fourth win for the season. It will be a massive task for Damien Hardwick's men, who lost to Fremantle by 20 points in round 13 but impressed with their effort, if not their composure in crucial moments.

WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Friday June 20, 7.50pm AEST

LAST FIVE TIMES
R18, 2013, Sydney Swans 16.14 (110) d Richmond 9.9 (63) at the SCG
R7, 2012, Richmond 13.13 (91) d Sydney Swans 8.14 (62) at the MCG
R21, 2011, Richmond 14.15 (99) d Sydney Swans 7.14 (56) at the MCG
R12, 2011, Sydney Swans 9.21 (75) d Richmond 9.11 (65) at the SCG
R14, 2010, Richmond 14.5 (89) d Sydney Swans 12.13 (85) at the MCG


THE SIX POINTS
1. The Swans last defeated Richmond at the MCG in 2009, with the Tigers winning the last three clashes at the venue and four of the last six.

2. The AFL’s top three kick-getters of 2014 will be playing in this game. Swans defender Nick Malceski (206) is ranked No.1 ahead of Tigers Trent Cotchin (205) and Dustin Martin (201).

3. Despite inconsistent form and debate around his role, Tigers star Jack Riewoldt is ranked No.1 in the AFL for marks inside 50 (53). Richmond overall is ranked No.4 for marks in attack.

4. The Swans were ranked No.1 in the AFL for hit-outs last season, but they have dropped to No.18 this year with just 33.5 a game. Ruckman Shane Mumford, who averaged 26 hit-outs for the Swans last year, was traded to GWS.

5. Richmond's lack of run and dare is evident in their drop-off in running bounces. Ranked No.4 for running bounces last season, with an average of 14.2 a game, they have dropped to No.13 this year with an average of 8.7.

6. Lance Franklin's brilliant fourth quarter against Port Adelaide in round 13 ensured he made a leap in the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Gatorade. He jumped from No.18 to No.14 overall and is now ranked No.3 at the Swans.

Prediction: Sydney Swans by 32 points

yet he's in contention for another Coleman! the 1.5 was crap last week but I do believe if the delivery was a better Jack in general would covert a lot better. He'll never be as straight of a kick as Jack Gunston but he's probably one of the smarter forwards given that the developing team have stuffed his body by making him lose weight to be more agile and not putting him in for the surgery he needs to get that leap back.

Sydney Swans' plane drama en route to Melbourne

June 19, 2014 3:04 PM


THE SYDNEY Swans might be flying on the field, but they have hit some unexpected drama off it after their Thursday afternoon flight to Melbourne was cancelled due to a brake problem.
 
AFL.com.au understands that the Swans' Virgin Australia flight VA858 was set for take-off at Sydney Airport when the plane had to turn back to the terminal after the problem struck.
 
A passenger on the flight told AFL.com.au a fire truck was called as a precaution and all passengers had to disembark once the plane returned to the terminal.
 
The flight has been cancelled according to the Virgin Australia website, however the Swans expect to arrive on another flight after 4pm.
 
The Swans, who are riding high on an eight-game winning streak, are travelling to Melbourne to face Richmond at the MCG on Friday night.

If u wanna talk accolades and being In contention, let me say,
he's not the favorite for good reason.
He misses unforgivable shots and as he's gotten older, this inadequacy has become as much a consistency in his game as his laconic second efforts.

Heard derm in last weeks telecast saying of all the big fwds in the comp, Jacks workrate is by far the worst.

I actually saw him early last week run straight to the pocket boundary line horizontally to the goals and when he got to the line he turned 90 degrees and led up the boundary -WTF is that????  I don't know if its him or the fwd coach but this poo has got to stop

Richmond Tigers aim to tame the Sydney Swans monster

    The Age
    June 20, 2014


When the AFL fixture list throws up Sydney, where do you start planning your defence?

It's a question plaguing Richmond coach Damien Hardwick ahead of their Friday night's clash with the Swans.

Certainly not the midfield where Josh Kennedy is on track to challenge for the Brownlow.

"Kennedy is one of those guys, you can tag him as many times as you like but he still seems to find a way of getting 25 (disposals) and 10 (clearances)," he said.

"They've got quality players through there, Kieren Jack and these types... they're just a formidable running machine."

And not a forward line where Lance Franklin now struts his stuff.

"I think (Franklin's) actually improved. It's probably the first time we've seen him be a force in contested marking," Hardwick said.

"You've got to make sure you monitor Buddy but then there's also a very good player down there by the name of Adam Goodes... (Sam) Reid, all these other types."

"Even across their half-forward line, the likes of (Jarrad) McVeigh who just seems to keep getting better year-in and year-out.

"A young kid by the name of Parker that's really impressive."

About the only factors pulling in the Tigers' direction is their recent form against Sydney at the MCG, winning the past three, and a few Sydney absentees.

Hardwick was heartened by the "big outs" of Kurt Tippett and Dan Hannebery, doubting that Ben McGlynn would take his place in the Swans' side.

He was also cautiously optimistic of taming the monster - with Alex Rance to be handed the job on Franklin.

"Alex has a pretty good record on Buddy the last couple of times he's played but that by no means guarantees Buddy is going to have a quiet game," he said.

With a 111-point belting of GWS their only win in seven matches, Hardwick was heartened by improvement in a key metric: the contested ball.

Seen by fans and coaches alike as a reading of hunger for the ball and skill under pressure, the Tigers shaded Fremantle last week despite a 20-point loss.

"That's our challenge... the consistency is the point that we've been missing," he said.

"We've got to outnumber as many contests as we can because that's the key."

I had a quick squiz at Champion Data and whilst I agree their acquisition of stats is questionable at times Buddy's only averaged something like 6 marks/game (1 contested). I do agree he's had a much greater presence after the bye and he does force a contest but that being said he's not exactly plucking them like Pavlich or Harry Taylor

Worst game plan ever.   Do we have to pay Hardwick out if he is diagnosed as clinically insane?  Someone put a straight jacket on Hardwick and get it over with.

One goal 5.  Our goal scoring collectively has been terrible this year.  That's what you get by chip chipping to the pockets.

They coughed up a few unforced errors in the last 10 minutes of that quarter. Houli needs to be taken out of that backline.
Cotchin, Deledio, Conca, Martin, & others all doing the job. Sydney has a few injury worries. Kerrin Jack, & Shaw, so we should cut them down with run.

Very disappointing loss. Not as bad the NMFC loss. But really the match was lost at selection. Bringing in Thomas put no speed into our tired team. Really needed some fresh legs from the sub.

Good old Ellis, professional out on the full free kick recipient.

He had the biggest nothing 35 possessions ever. It was good to see Miles in the contest. Deledio looked a bit flat tonight, I liked his daring and step around players but normally you see him run 30m before bombing it 60m. I'm a bit concerned for Lids. Martin and Cotch were fantastic but as per usual they were spent by the start of the 4th quarter and really needed some back up. And they didn't get it.

1. If Hampson can't mark above his chest delist.
2. Dusty and Jack missing bread and butter shots in a low scoring game in the last is criminal.
3. Jack Jampson and Edwards are either dumb footballers and can't read the play or lazy as Grundy and Richards lead them to the ball all night.
4. Titch Edwards run no way, not forward not back not anywhere. If he gets to 150 games worst player in AFL history to do so. Remind me again what he does that's positive.
5. Houli how many turnovers tonight??????
6. Why isn't Arnott, McBean, O'hanlon etc I'm this side.
7. Umps raped and pillaged us especially in the last 3 of 4 of Buddy's goals we're gift wrapped from Wayne Campbell and I am not counting the others they got and we didn't in similar circumstances.

Other than that a competitive effort by the boys. The better team didn't win IMHO. Had more of the footy just do not know how to use it.

They wear themselves out by over using the ball & moving it with handball when a long kick would be better with free players up the ground. Junk Time Jack many times chasing kicks down field & being caught out when we had no-one to go too when we got the ball. TANKING is real. Lets see if the club ask the umpires to please explain. If they don't then l can see no other reason but they are TANKING or Match Fixing. No other club changes the way they play like us after half time no-one

Nope, they apply a simpler rule: If it's a Swan on the bottom of the pack it's a ball up. If it's a Tiger it's holding the ball. This applies doubly if it's Adam "Australian Of The Year" :lol Goodes.
