The Shepparton Swans will be just trying to play its style and it will be the likes of Andrew Riordan, Luke Whyte, Dylan Kerr, Timothy Ewart, Jayden Clarke, Jared Service and BJ Squire that will be pivotal in making it difficult for the Bears to have a comfortable win.
Shepparton will turn to Ted Lindon, Benjamin Davies, Matthew Shannon, Rowan Hiscock, Ashley Holland, Joel Brett and Nikolaus Rokahr to secure the four points.

The Shepparton Swans look set to play finals after a thrilling two goal win last weekend moved them six points clear of seventh placed Mooroopna and eighth placed Echuca.
Coach, Jana Bruinier knows though her girls still need to win at least one of their remaining games to shore up their spot.
The Swans will fancy their chances of taking to Shepparton and if it can put scoreboard pressure on in the first quarter then it could cause an upset.
Shepparton coach Tracey Brereton would be delighted that her team is getting ready for the finals with high intensity matches.
Last round, the Bears got past Echuca in a game the visitors had to win.
That type of game will hold them in good stead for the challenge that will come from the Swans today.
Tip: Bears.
