Teams V Pies

Just a guess... Richards in for Bradshaw if he doesn't come up, will play down back.....Rohan in for tiger will play up forward

[Go Swannies]

Kennelly did this last time he had a knee injury. Came back too early, aggravated the injury and ended up having extra time on the sideline. He should have waited till after the split round to come back with his knee cherry ripe.

That said i am glad we are appeasing president gillard by playing a ranga

Eh? He has come back after the week off.

Teddy for Braddy seems a bit odd if Braddy is really out. Playfair would have seemed more likely though I hope he's being having wet footy kicking practice.

I think Vesz rather than Teddy. Collingwood only have two big forwards Cloke and Dawes and a lot of smaller ones. Shaw, Mattner, Bevan, Malceski and Smith to cover them. Vesz up forward and the forward setup to be the same as it was against port.

Sick of losing to Pies: Kirk fires up Swans

Talked themselves up before. They are an older, but quicker so I wonder if having a faster player (Jetta Rohan or Vez) would have been better than Bevan. But the weather? Wet?

Fortunately with Rohan in this now rings true. It wasn't with all the pace taken out when this was written.

If only RWO identified this issue before the Port game!

Do you think Rohan is faster than Tiger? Or gives us more run?

[Peace]

he is DEFINITELY faster but lacks the confidence that tiger has running the ball through the middle...

Not so much in the back half but hopefully Shaw sorts that out. Tadhg with a bung knee isn't much use though anyway he is? Will be nice to have some pace up forward. Ideally I would like Bevo to cover down back, Bluey needs to be playing down forward. He's not 100% solid down back and I think he's more effective being offensive rather than defensive. They've been switching him up and back every game he's been in. It was only really the Essendon game that he got to stay forward. I know Ressies is a different league but I've seen this kid towards an end of a game up front and the defenders can't keep up with him. Play the kid forward!!!

I would have liked Rohan to stay in the team.

With Rohan back in I suppose I should turn that frown upside down! Go Swans!

from memory kennelly injured his medial ligament early in round 9 against freo. they initially said 4 weeks. After having round 10 & 11 off he played in the port game. now after the break he needs another week off.

He probably should have held back from playing against port, giving him the full four weeks, letting his knee heal properly.

again turns to Bevan. Cant see why we cant play either Ves or Rohan. Ves and Currie will be lucky to be in Sydney next year and I cant blame them. Bevo isnt our future, well past it. But Roosey like Eade has favourites.

Bevan may be playing for his spot on the list the next few weeks. See how he goes in the next few games then decide future. If he can't keep his place in the next few weeks then that may be it for him. He can fill a role forward or back, just depends if we have better options going forward.
