Heading into this Round Eight clash, the score between Nick Daicos and Ryan Clarke sees the Swan with a healthy 2-0 advantage.
Not just in terms of the team results, though they do mirror the personal battle between the two, but it has been the work of Clarke, putting the “clamps” on the young star that has gone a long way to securing those wins for the Swans.
However, from one season to another, plenty can change, as and as we head toward the first and only home and away clash of the year, it is Daicos, a year older, fitter, and wiser coming up against his chief antagonist, who has just one game under his belt thus far.
This time, things may be very different.
