Sydney won't be dictated to by Geelong's plans to tag Isaac Heeney or any of their other stars in their blockbuster top-four AFL clash.
Irishman Oisin Mullin has completed successful shutdown jobs on the likes of Nick Daicos, Harry Sheezel and Marcus Bontempelli, while Mark O'Connor can also play a tagging role.
The ladder-leading Swans are expecting similar treatment for in-form Heeney or Chad Warner from fourth-placed Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday, but livewire Tom Papley isn't fazed.
"You don't want to be dictated to by them - most importantly play our way," Papley said.
"Isaac's a fantastic player. Got no doubt at least one of them will probably go to him and it's important to keep playing the team way, and that's what we'll try to do.
