The Baggies will travel to Jeparit, where wet weather is forecast. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted an 80 per cent chance of 5-10mm of rain. Swifts co-coach Scott Carey said he didn't think the weather would make a huge impact.

"I think the wet weather could suit Jeparit-Rainbow a little bit better but I believe we have the right mix of players regardless of the weather," he said.

"With a mix of talls and smalls we should be able to move the ball like we plan if it is wet."

The Baggies go into the game rested, after having the week off due to the bye last round.

"Training has been really good during our week off," Carey said. "The boys that needed to rest have, and others have really put in at training. We did a bit over the weekend to keep things on track and hopefully we can take that momentum into Saturday's game."

After the bye the Baggies now sit second on the league's ladder, a position Carey said the team weren't going to get complacent with.

"It's where we aimed to be at the start of the season, in one of the top two positions," he said. "There's still half a season to go, plenty of football and a lot of hard work to maintain that position."
