    I am hopeful Marsh also gets some added minutes with Kennedy resting. There has been some hype from the team for him during the pre-season.
    I hope Towers keep his spot. I thought he was quite good last week.

    For whatever reason, he reminds me of leaping Leo.

    I'm with you Auntie. Feeling on edge like a normal game day ... feeling like the season-proper will never arrive ... and yes Plugger I'm always a bit nervous about a big injury pre-season. Situation normal. I'm finding AFL Fantasy Footy a handy distraction, spending way too much valuable time (ie. at work) assembling and re-assembling my team. Hard not to stack my team with Swans.

    Depending on who gets a game tonight it looks like Membrey & Dick from 2012 draft, Hewitt and Jones from last draft and Biggs and Perris from the rookies are the only young ones who haven't been considered for a game yet. Of those, Hewitt has been referred to on injury lists and Biggs has obviously had an injury of some kind, Perris has a long list of mids in front of him deserving of a game which makes it tough, but Jones seems a bit of a mystery. Is he injured? He got great raps at the beginning of preseason. Or maybe he is in the same situation as Perris - just too many ahead of him.

    Scrappy to say the least at the start. That B Jack read off the front of the pack was uncannily like his brother. Laidler has had a good quarter too.

    Great goal by Reid. Loved how Jetta kept the ball alive. Good to see LRT back in the fray.

    First ten minutes of Q1 by the Swans was lame, but reasonable since then.

    McVeigh was calling Allir 'Shandy', so I guess that's it.
