Changes Round 22 v Bulldogs

[ernie koala]

OK, Horse says there will be no resting of players....

There were some very sore boys after todays game.

Namely Bird, he had no lateral movement after the knock he got, was very proppy and concerned.

Reid wasn't moving at all well after he had a heavy fall out on the Eastern wing.

So I reckon there will be some changes this week.... My guess

OUT : Kennedy, Bird, Reid

IN : Mitchell, Smith, Membrey

K Jack and Hanners also looked a sore, fingers crossed it is just bruises for them.

Horse says McGlynn won't be back but maybe Shaw.

I agree with Longmire. The players shouldn't be rested unless there is a chance of injury. We'll see how they fare at a training next week. Some of them will definitely be dropped if not fully fit.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Agree with those changes, Ernie.

[Bloody Hell]

If Kennedy and Bird are both out as primary midfield movers, certainly Mitchell will be first in, but there must be a chance for ROK.

Outs - Kennedy, Bird and Reid

Ins - Mitchell, Hewitt and B.Jack

I've spoken before about how the Swans use three slower in and under midfielders (Bird, Parker, Kennedy).

Two of those guys are likely to be outs so they should be replaced by similar players to keep the same system. Mitchell and Hewitt are in and under slower paced midfielders and will be able to team up with Parker to keep the existing system.

With Reid possibly an out I would bring in the extra pace of B.Jack to play the subs role and allow Towers to start. Towers may be able to do a valuable pressure and chasing job on one of the Bulldogs young quick players.

I thought about ROK, but I think there is more value in giving Hewitt an opportunity at this stage.

I think we can afford to give Smith and Shaw another week off but it's vital they are back for the final round. Hopefully Mglynn is also back for the final round.

We're the replacement inside midfielders for the Sydney Swans. We are here to preserve the existing system.

Brilliant.

I hope they're mutant ninja tortoises.

That is just plain ridiculous. What you are saying is, that if you are a brilliant in and under midfielder that can run fast, you will not get a game for the swans.

You really do try and sound as if you are some sort of AFL guru and some of the stuff you preach is just ridiculous.

ROK in. I don't care about arguments against it.

[bondy]

ROK in. I don't care about arguments against it.

Yes! I'd like to add LRT too. I'm still recovering.

[goswannies]

Really sad for me too, but LRT in would be the shortest retirement ever!
