    LOL. My initial reaction to that, Satch, was "how many boyfriends do you have?"

    Then I re-read it

    What a cop out by Roos - drop Schnieder and Grundy What the??

    Where are our goals going to come from? Cant see Moore having any influence on the outcome of this game, just another little slow garden gnome. Really what do we gain in dropping Schnieder for Moore? I could understand if it was Moore for McVeigh..obviously the Swans have no confidence in Vogels as this would have been the perfect time to bring him in.

    Totaly bemused and cant see us kicking more than 7 or 8 goals this week

    Davis will play FF I reckon - 1 out against whomever - might be a windy day and tricky for big fellas.

    Grundy seems to have his file permanently marked - I would have given him this chance at least.

    Schneider will play. His form hasn't been bad enough to warrant being dropped. My guess is someone else will come out. If he is genuinely dropped he would be justified in giving dagger looks to the likes of "pretty boy Bolton who hasn't put in for over a year. His skills are so woeful they are only likely to be 100% worse in the wet. His kicks will now go 10 metres instead of his standard 20 metres.

    On a full forward it is likely to be someone like Davis because a tall forward on a wet day is about as useful as tits on a bull.

    Play Bevo at full forward, an errant skid might just deflect off his boot for a goal. Just dont think he will be able to use his abundant pace and running game to drive his dynamic 70 metres kicks deep to the goal line.

    As for the Grundy omission, I really have no idea what their plans / expectations are for him. Would have been the logical choice to replace Barry as a key forward target - not a decoy forward. Maybe they've decided that the forecast wet conditions won't suit him.
    I totally agree with you Liz. I don't understand this at all. Buchanan and McVeigh should be the ones getting the boot. FFS!!!

    Not a bad idea....But more likely a three pronged attack Micky O, Spida, Davis
    Grundy has had a fair chance and shown little, the predicted wet and windy conditions would have confined him to his usual role as decoy,
    bye bye Reg...he's gaawwwn !!
    But I think most of us know who should be first to go...my mate McVeigh, he must be sleeping with Roosy. I predict the usual 9 - 13 ineffectual touches, 1-2 ineffectual tackle attempts, and of course 3-4 turn overs.
    He may be challenged by his mentor...Benny, who is a master of the ineffectual.
    Where is Voges ?? Maybe they're saving crazy horse for a day out against the Anchors, he loves the cheer of the home crowd

    See, I don't think he has.

    To those writing him off:

    - Tall players take longer to develop.
    - Reg is not being given a chance as an actual KP player, but rather as a decoy flanker.
    - He got injured in the pre-season, and was rushed straight in for round two without having played a game.

    wow, i just got home from work and have just seen the changes...

    weird inclusions and exclusions...

    my guess is that schneider will play and that davis hasn't really recovered and will drop out at the last minute... i hope i'm wrong

    this is going to be an interesting game

    To all the knockers of the selected team - Will you apologise for your ignorance when the Swans win?
