Brent Colbert will not need reminding of the result the last time these teams went head to head at Princess Park six weeks ago.
The Lions suffered their worst defeat at the hands of the Swans on that day.
But since then, the Lions have been one of the league’s in-form teams along with the Swans (until last week) and Benalla.
They have won five in a row and claimed some huge scalps, including victories against finals bounds opponents and also handing out Rochester’s first loss.
Ruckman Brandyn Grenfell has been outstanding for the team while the return of Tim Bongetti has made a huge difference to the structure.
Hugh Robertson has been a real star down back while Harrison Wheeler, ex-Sydney Swan Brett Meredith and premiership utility Paul Scanlon have been really good for the Lions in their recent purple patch.
The Swans suffered somewhat of a reality check to the Magpies last week and it is fair to say the home team adjusted to the wet and muddy conditions quicker and better across the four quarters.
Another wet day this weekend will have Hayden Best and his coaching staff mindful of not repeating what they did poorly against Euroa.
Leaders Quade Johnstone and Andrew Riordan will need to lead by example while Matt Keys, Paul Fry, Nick Calandro and BJ Squire will be doing their best to get the ball into the forward line to allow the likes of Maddern, Davies, Antonowicz and Wright kick enough goals to get the four points.
