Shaw will play , ducks and drakes by Malty.

Shaw has been poor the last 3 weeks so his possible omission may not hurt as much as some may think if he continues with such displays.

Structurally Presti would be a bigger loss IMO.

hope so but to hear they didnt train is a concern

Jeez hope not.
If anyone does miss, then at least Sack is in. I like his run of the back line - pretty similar sometimes to Shaw.

Heath Shaw is carrying a back injury, and hasn't trained in the last session of the week for about 8 weeks, good that the media catches onto it now.

Presti and Shaw are on the plane, with only 1 emergency going (MaCaffer) so that points to be there being not many problems with the 22 named.

Just the media trying to use their "scare tactics" again.

Every week you hear about late changes for us, yet last week when it occurred you heard nothing.

If Presti doesn't play, it won't be because he's injured. Sydney's as wet as Melbourne at the moment, and we don't want to lose anther game due to being too top heavy.

Heath Shaw. I'd love to see the stats on how many opposition goals are scored as a direct result of his turnovers. Since the North Melbourne game, his short kicking has been disgraceful. If he hasn't contributed 10 plus opposition goals in this time, then Julia Gillard is Jennifer Hawkins!

Either way, the Swans should be favourites tomorrow night. They get Bradshaw back - which is a guaranteed 5 goals. We'll probably kick 3.39 and lose by 7 points.

Agree and they would have Reid and Goldsack play FB and CHB

Wet will be the great leveller. I still think Swans by a few goals....unfortunately....

As much as I love the line up, the form line has been sub par. Will be happy to be proven wrong and would enjoy a serving of humble pie.

With the Very Wet Conditions I reckon this plays right into there hands and that is very contested footy with many Stoppages where the both Excel.

Who agrees?

Sydney have a lot of short fat arsed types DTM so the weather may actually benefit them much more than us and reduce the talent advantage we have over them.

Looking at the forecast hopefully the worst of the rain may have passed by at kick off but it'll still be wet under foot.

Pies to make it 9 in a row!

?? No rain in Sydney atm, according to the BoM radar.

And ... the game is over 22 hours away.

remember searching all day last year for wet weather gear for the game as raining all day. As I remember did not need it on the night. Forecast is for it to clear again by evening. Hope true

A few callers on Sen talkback were saying that they saw on Sports Tonight that Presti and Shaw won't play.

One caller even suggested that he saw Presti , on Friday night , at the Precinct Hotel in Swan Street Richmond , knocking back a few Burbons.

^ have we finally found the secret to Presti's success?
