With local boy darcy Cameron (Albany) at 204cm and Seaby at 200cm accompanied by mid 190cm blokes in Bradley and Andrews the game plan could be as simple as bomb it in there long and high. With other tallish blokes in hamp (if he can actually ever clunk one), and busher ( seemed to be used as a short burst midfielder last week) broad bridge needs to be careful he doesn't go in too tall against a zippy swans side.
Is almost a mini grand final for us this one to stay in touch with fifth spot.
Fair to say Claremont will stretch Swans height wise TOO and they don't get any shorter as the game goes on and players get tired. Seaby has been a thorn in the side of Swans teams for many years both when he played with the Falcons and Tigers and I would expect no different tomorrow. The Great Southern players in the Claremont team will also be motivated playing in front of their families and friends. The hope for Swans rests with them being able to play the game at a faster tempo where the smaller guys may be able to use their pace and dispose of the ball with precision. If we turn over the ball too much, you guys will kill us on the rebound because you have plenty of guys who can take a mark in the forward 50.
