As dark horse

-

If he can, then expect some quick ball movement into the forward half.

Swifts need this quick ball movement because they lack big and mobile key-position targets.

Ben Martin is tall and more than handy, but the ageing veteran is not quick.

Talented Damon Folkes is returning after a knee injury, so much of the scoreboard pressure needs to come from the athletic Andrew Cameron, Zach Salmi and Joshua Davis.

If dry grounds prevail in the finals the Baggies boast speed though the middle.

Dreadlocke­d Ryan Folkes will be one to watch considerin­g the small man is solid in the air and like a cat when the ball is on the carpet. And he is one who loves to swing into the corridor and run.

Folkes has willing lieutenant­s in Angus Murray and Joshua and Adrian Reid, who also back themselves in to take on the game.

Experience levels are high in the Baggies’ defensive half.

Nick Thomas, Liam Scott and Nick Pickering are all seasoned veterans who know how to absorb pressure and turn defence into attack.

On form, leading into the finals the Baggies appear to be the side most capable of stopping a Harrow-balmoral and Kalkee grand final, but they need everyone to play their role.

Being able to deliver on the big stage is the question that Swifts need to answer the further they venture into the finals.
