Sydney Swans vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
Two losses on the trot for the Swans, who have started to show a few cracks, but to have lost your three games by a total of eight points isnt really much of a worrying sign.
The Kangas took their opportunity against the Suns last weekend and showed how exciting they can be with a bit of pace and explosiveness with their ball movement.
A difficult task awaits them at the SCG, where without a doubt the Swans will want to reassert themselves as clear premiership favourites.
The speed off halfback the Swans possess is unstoppable at times, and defensive setups can easily be caught wanting without commitment to running patterns in defensive transition.
Its hard to see the Kangaroos having the talent to stop that for four quarters, but its a contest that gives them a great opportunity to test out their capabilities.
Its been a tough few weeks for Logan McDonald, but this match presents as a good opportunity to return to full confidence.
Sydneys goal efficiency is second in the competition, and it should be on full display on Saturday afternoon.
