Yes otherwise you end up sitting with 5000 Swans supporters right behind their bench.

It was a fun night when I made that rookie mistake. Make matters worse it was the game where Tucky kicked Kirk in the mouth. Although the Swans supporters are a polite bunch. Cant imagine I would have gotten out so easily if it had been at any opposition Melbourne ground.

That's right stay home, sit by your computer make 1000 claims and if one turns out to be true call yourself a prophet by telling everyone how right you were.

We havn't won there for a long time.
The players like to travel as there is less media hype and pressure is off.
Season is absolutely on the line.

Tigers' attack a tall order for Swans

SYDNEY Swans coach John Longmire believes Richmond's variety in attack will be tough to counter when the Tigers head to the SCG on Friday night.

The visitors' three tall options, Jack Riewoldt, Ty Vickery and Ben Griffiths, are all in good form, while star midfielders Dustin Martin and Brett Deledio have also had a scoreboard impact in recent weeks.

Longmire says the Tigers' range of options will certainly pose problems for his experienced defence.

"I think they've had discussions about playing three talls in the past and they've certainly been able to come in and play those roles," Longmire said on Monday.

"Then you've got Dustin Martin who you throw in that mix, who's a very good contested ball player, and contested mark player as well, so they've got a very good balance through there.

"We've got to make sure our defence continues to be flexible and adaptable, and continue to play a really strong defensive game, and get that balance right between offence and defence."

SUMMARY

The Swans are coming off the bye, which interrupted their run of six straight wins, but coach John Longmire is hopeful the break won't hurt his side's momentum. The Tigers are coming off a loss to West Coast but had won four in a row before the hiccup and will be keen to get their season back on track. Richmond caused a big upset when they beat the Swans at ANZ Stadium in round 23 last year, but don't have a great recent record at the SCG.

WHERE AND WHEN: SCG, Friday 7.50pm AEST

LAST FIVE TIMES
R23, 2014, Richmond 10.8 (68) d Sydney Swans 9.11 (65) at ANZ Stadium
R14, 2014, Sydney Swans 9.8 (62) d Richmond 7.9 (51) at the MCG

R21, 2011, Richmond 14.15 (99) d Sydney Swans 7.14 (56) at the MCG

THE SIX POINTS

1. The Tigers midfield was the difference between the sides in round 23 last year; stars Brett Deledio and Trent Cotchin had 29 possessions apiece in the win.

2. The Swans and Tigers clash for the 191st time and Richmond holds a clear advantage, winning 104 games to 85, with one draw. The Tigers have won three of the last five.

3. The teams have played 26 times at the SCG, with the Swans winning 16 to ten, including the last seven. Richmond hasn’t won at the venue since 2004.

4. Sydney has been a strong tackling side in 2015; they're ranked third averaging 72 per game, compared to Richmond, who are ranked 14th averaging 62.1.

5. Richmond has received the most free kicks per game in 2015, averaging 23.6. Captain Trent Cotchin is ranked third and Anthony Miles sixth.

6. The Swans have two players inside the top ten of the AFL's official player ratings in Lance Franklin (8th) and Josh Kennedy (10th), while Richmond only has one inside the top 50, with Shane Edwards at 47.

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR… Adam Goodes

The dual Brownlow Medallist is in great form despite some recent controversy, and will have many of his 2005 premiership teammates cheering him on at the SCG on Friday night. While Goodes won't be able to join in the celebrations at the club's reunion, another strong performance will no doubt help make it a night to remember for the rest of the Swans' flag-winning heroes.


PREDICTION: Sydney Swans by 28 points.
