Swifts play Kalkee at North Park in the round five clash

Third-placed Swifts are tied on 12 points each with fifth-placed Kalkee coming into the clash at North Park.

Tipped to be a close match, Swifts co-coach Scott Carey said Kalkee has proven in the past few seasons they are one of the better uses of the football within the competition.

"Saturday is going to be a test - but we're looking forward to it," he said. "Hopefully we can influence the game enough to take control and play our style of football."

Both teams come off big wins in round three, Carey said the Baggies moral is up but it's about starting again this week.

"We have to make sure we start red hot from the beginning," he said. "I'd like to think we have the home ground advantage. I think we make North Park a bit of a fortress and make it more difficult for travelling teams. Having said that Kalkee have played there a number times so it will be a very interesting contest."

Swifts' fifth-placed A Grade netball team will face off with the Kalkee's eighth-placed side.

In what should be a "winnable" game for the players, coach Courtney Morrow said she "won't be taking the game lightly".

"We will be looking to continue to improve on our four quarter efforts off the back of last week," she said. "We improved, but we are not there yet. It's so important at this early stage of the season to get as many quarters right, as a collective team because it could make all the difference come finals."

Morrow said after Saturday's round, the season will be a quarter of the way through. "I am really hoping we can add another win for the season this weekend," she said. "We have a whole team in again this week. I'm looking for some really strong, full four quarter efforts."
