Round 19 Preview Claremont vs. Swan Districts

Wednesday, July 29, 2015 - 11:00 AM by Dan Scamozzi

Claremont will be looking to break a two-game losing streak when they host Swan Districts at the Show Grounds on Saturday.

The Tigers have been overrun by Peel Thunder and West Perth in the last two games after leading at the final change and will be keen to put in a four-quarter performance.

Swans suffered an agonising loss to the Thunder in round 18 and are in need of a win themselves ahead of a final-round bye.

The teams have met just once this season, with the Tigers prevailing by 11 points in round eight.

A win for Claremont could see them replace Swans in fifth position depending on other results, while a win for the Black Ducks would open up a two-game buffer on the Tigers.

The Tigers will have to make do without Francis Watson after the silky defender suffered a broken leg against West Perth.

Lachlan Davey has been in outstanding form for the Reserves since returning from injury and will push his case for selection along with Tom Willett and John Williams.

The club encourages all members and fans to attend the game as the Tigers look to arrest their form slump and remain in the mix for a finals berth.

Bounce down is 2.10pm.
