I've slowed down Teds bump. He is in trouble.
He stayed grounded and was shepherding but the point of his shoulder hits Caboults head as the first contact. Is it worth a week? Not sure.
I would be surprised if he got off though. I'm expecting a week. Hopefully not!
McVeigh on Game Day said that Benny will most certainly come back next week and Rohan and LRT will be up for selection as well. He was hoping that the run today would help him with his fitness.
He was asked if there was any possibility that Goodes would play again this year. He just unconvincingly (IMO) shrugged his shoulders and said that "they have ruled him out for the season". I am still hoping that the Swans are playing "smoke and mirrors" with that one.
Swans have also won last 4 at Subi.
Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
Goodes just tweeted he's in Canberra to watch the ressies. Maybe he could sneakily come on wearing Towers' guernsey

Noone saying we have to drop Jude for this one? That's a turnaround from last week.
There were several surprisingly good performances from a few players under scrutiny this year. Jude was one of them. Another one was Grundy, who looked a different player. It was probably the best Richards-Grundy combo for the season. I was also impressed with Everitt's game. He was very solid defensively last night.
Great call Ludwig! Richards, Grundy and Everette were superb last night!
Richards last month has been great and I hope he gets through to take on the Pav.
Rampe was also strong and it was great to see that the Swans have the confidence to put Rampe on Chris Judd when he was resting in the forward line!
Sadly for everitt that is two weeks in a row he has missed a goal by about a metre. I wish he'd kicked them both. It would do wonders for his confidence, and would force players to pay him a bit more respect.
I think ted is sure to go. Sadly. I can't see how running past the ball to shepherd improves the case at all.
Sure will make our defence look like our reserves.
We are still some way off our best footy. In the third quarter we missed a sequence of targets which against the hawks got punished but we were able to get it back again. If we actually hit targets regularly next week we are in the game with a sneaky chance.
But I am really delighted with this team. Their commitment is unsurpassed in the league.
Ins: Lamb and McGlynn
Outs: Tippett, Mitchell
LRT in for Richards if he gets suspended.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
One thing that cannot change is McVeigh back into the half back position. He needs to spend the majority of the time in the midfield and around the stoppages. Yes, I realise he has been fantastic at half back, but that is because he is an elite player who can adapt to any situation. From a team point of view, he needs to be back in the midfield, dishing out quick fire handballs. Biggs, I think, comfortably slots into that position anyway.
