Changes for Rnd 17 V West Coast

[MattW]

Yes, Shaw or Jones. Heeney will definitely start - he has an important role forward (as he alluded to in today's interview on the official site).

I would be rapt if Shaw was the sub.

I agree. After watching that interview I think heeney will start. I also think shaw should start ( despite me thinking he is next to be dropped). I say that because I think ted often leads the back 6 on field and we need shaws experience to play that on field leadership role If it's not shaw then it would fall to Grundy and laidler and I'm not sure that either is ideal for that. McVeigh should play across half back but he is often further upfield so also not suited to that defenders marshalling role.

So I ( kinda reluctantly) think that jones should be the sub for this one. I do however think (injuries aside) that we shouldn't wait till deep in the final qtr to make the sub. I would sub jones on for shaw mid third quarter

Why would it fall to Grundy or Laidler? Surely smithy is a better leader than all of those including Rhyce. Reg is not the leader type but is playing well at mo. We need to stop that HB backward the defenders do. It is part of a badly flawed game plan.

[wolftone57]

I imagine Heeney will be the sub and Xav will be on for the full game (with visits to the bench). Good luck to them both and whatever happens on Sunday I think they're both part of our future.

I doubt the logic of Heeney being Sub. He is far too dangerous to be sub. By the interview in Swans site he will be playing forward. Like to see him in the mids a bit.

Yes smith had slipped my mind. My bad

[Triple B]

Smith is in such terrible form I'd prefer he concentrates on getting his own @@@@ together...

Thank god for Bachar Houli, though someone should really check his betting account with that kick in
