    Parks will be an in for the Cold Toast game, bit risky bringing in an underdone player for a big game, maybe learned from the Goodes timing

    Is this a worry?
    Maybe, but some things will be different:
    1) The Swans media machine is talking up Parker, which suggests that LRT's brain may still be rattling and he will be replaced by Parker (which would increase our legspeed a bit).
    2) Last time Pike got ambushed by Blake, l cant see Mummy falling for that nonsense.
    3) It's at the SCG
    Oopsy, I totally misread the Parker-love, it clearly wasn't evidence of likely inclusion. Was it random or public encouragement, who knows.
    On the whole legspeed thing, the Saints have included Milera in their extended squad, it appears they may intend to try to test us in that direction.

    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    Feel sorry for TDL but his chance could come through one single injury as could the others in the two's whose form has been great.

    Parker hasn't been around long enough to walk staright in to firsts.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    I reckon if LRT doesn't come up they'll throw TDL in - I would expect Parks to get the run in the 2's to set him up for a good run to the finals. I didn't get the crystal ball out this time though, it's just the vibe...

    I agree Dennis.

    I wish them luck with that on the SCG.
    Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

    The extra leg-speed will help propel them onto the ground from their temporary changeroom.
    The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news

    Completely agree, no need to change a side that is winning and playing good footy
