    He's not been bad - just hasn't been absolutely ripping it up in the way we might hope a third year, sturdily built player who already has some senior experience might be expected to. And the Swans brain trust name him in the top two or three in pretty much every game.

    I don't have a problem with him over Phillips, especially in wet conditions where Phillips' speed becomes less relevant and his lack of body strength becomes more significant.

    3 changes is doing something different. I think Schneider will feel very hard done by as the scapegoat.

    I feel happy about Laidlaw

    I feel bad about Reg

    I feel bemused about Mcveigh

    The ways of Paul Roos are inscrutible (or is it the senior leadership group)
    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

    WTF? Oldman Pop was right with the changes good on him, but Why the @@@@ would they drop Reg when they finally had the opportunity to fully utilise him?

    Completely baffled and i seriously dont know what they expect of him from here till the end of the season. I'm sure he's confused as well.

    Wonder if Goodes will really play FF.

    Good luck to Laidlaw. Great body type for AFL and some really nice weapons in his game.

    Finally Schneider being dropped after one bad game last week is a pretty hard decision on him. Apart from last weekend he has been OK to good which is the least i can say about J Bolton, Buchanan and some other midfielders.

    One injured, one who is often dropped and one scapegoat is not really something different.

    It maybe that big difference will come on Saturday, the structure maybe really different without a CHF?

    True enough - we may actually attempt to score some goals!

    Somehow with all of the talk about Hall possibly missing I never thought of Goodes crashing packs. It may a good idea, he obviously has been down this year but looks to have picked up in recent weeks... could he have turned into a decent CHF in his time in the midfield?
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Have only just been able to get here to the board since I heard about Laidlaw...I was hoping to get a scoop for you all...but better late than never.

    I jumped around the kitchen when I heard my lovechild finally has his crack at the big time..........go you good thing.

    The news that overshadowed Laidlaw's debut was my youngest's boyfriend has made the u/18 Australian squad.......but in stupid rugby. Go figure.


    A big day.......go Laidlaw...make your fan proud.

    I think Thornton and Vogels will play. Amon likely not to play due to injury and not sure about who else will come out.
