Ins. Tippett, Franklin, McGlynn and Birdy or Robbo.
Outs. Rohan, Nankervis, Towers, and hopefully Shaw.

McGlynn isn't even playing reserves this week, Bird is out with an AC and Robbo sprained his ankle. No way they'll get up for next week.
In: Buddy, Tippett, Heeney, Hewett
Out: Shaw, Pyke, Towers, Rohan
If Teddy's no good then I guess Aliir or X. Richards will have to play.
I can see Towers keeping his spot. He's the closest thing we have to Rohan in terms of speed and position. I also think 'Shaw out' is more wishful thinking than something the coaches are likely to have top of mind.
If Heeney comes through tomorrow's reserves game OK (and looks ready to take up where he left off), he might come in for Rohan. He can play a similar mid-sized forward role.
Ted will probably be fine. But if he isn't, I'd just move Reid back to defence for the game. Brisbane aren't exactly over-endowed with dangerous tall forwards anyway.
Those are my wish fulfilment choices. I think in reality it will be:
In: Buddy, Tippett
Out: Nankervis, Rohan
I think they'll go slow on Heeney.

Swans vs Port stats

SHAW 226 games, fumbles don't count - JONES 6 games.
Pretty easy, keep JONES
After seeing Pyke in the rooms after the game I think he will be in doubt. He was limping and he had a grimace on his face. Yes I know he normally looks unhappy but he looked in a lot of pain.
Definitely didn't look like a player that had a few weeks off. Looks like a chronic knee issue.
I think we'd be better of taking the cautious approach with Ted...give him the week off then let him come back fit and fresh for the Hawks the round after.
So in saying that:
OUT - Rohan, Richards, Cunningham
IN - Buddy, Tip, Heeney.
This is providing that Isaac gets through 80-90% of gametine tomorrow, bring him in against Brisbane to get his touch back and find some form before the Hawks clash.

Is this confirmed? It sounded like he was good to go!
