Thanks, John. If the Essendon that tore apart Port Adelaide shows up, then Sydney may be in trouble. However, Sydney always seem to have a mental edge over Essendon and I can't see that changing on Saturday. Richmond have been good this year. The fact that they have the double chance will certainly help them during the finals. Even though Port are at home and are in better form, they seem to struggle against West Coast.

Bear in mind when Swans met Essendon last time it was still not a full strength Swans outfit, not quite their B team but different team now, but Essendon are dangerous

You could quite possibly get 0 from 4. or maybe 4 from 4, I see the Crows going down GWS, GWS can't play that bad for ever, Sydney should slam Essendon but dangerous game, Cats should win but have had their pants lowered a couple of times this year and Port and WCE just making up the numbers but at home probably Port. There will be surprises.
