The Swans will be making the trip down Irrigation Way to take on the Leeton-Whitton Crows with confidence after strong showings in recent weeks according to director of coaching Adrian Pavese.

“It is always a tough game," he said.

“But we are looking forward to it after a good three game.”

In the sides most recent meeting in the first round the Crows got the jump on the Swans in the first quarter with a seven-goal head start and Pavese knows his side are in a better position this time around.

“They got us at the start last time out,” he said.

“We need to make sure we don’t give them a head start this time around.

“They pride themselves on their physicality so we need to make sure we can match that.”

Even though the side have only picked up one win across in the last three games Pavese is confident in his sides ability.

“Everything is starting to click,” he said.

“We have been getting better each week even though we might not have been getting the results.”

While the Griffith side will be without Guy Orton who has one week remaining in his suspension, they will be able to welcome back two of their younger players.

“We will have Jacob Conlan and Sam Foley,” he said.

“Apart from that, we should be heading into the game mostly unchanged.”

One aspect of the game Pavese’s side has focused on is carrying their energy throughout the game.

“We know that no matter what the stage of the game we need to be able to lift,” he said.

“Last week it was terrific, so hopefully we can continue from there.”
