    I'm excited by these inclusions. Hewett finally gets his chance. Papley has grunt and should provide some forward pressure.

    So, I am told the Pies have an unusual game plan which involves all 18 kneeling down and snorting the 50m arc into oblivion to throw our goal kicking range out.

    Is everyone going on Saturday night? I'm not a lock yet, I have to be honest.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Clearly not everyone is going. Everyone won't fit in the SCG and I'm not sharing my seat with anyone.

    I'll be there.

    If you'll just give me a knee and Davo's playing I'll be a lock!

    Is it the venue?
    Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

    As a mountain man, the venue could well be the issue for Stellation. Much further to travel!

    Is Davo still running? I imagine not, given he now has a structured coaching role with the NEAFL team.

    I'll be up from Canberra.

    I am also not a massive Brandon Jack fan, but he offers more than Robinson. It's disappointing to see Robinson selected. I don't think he has it in him. There are about 16 really good players in that line-up but it falls away steeply.

    Considering Robinson's woeful efforts in the NAB cup, it's a real worry that he gets a game this week.

    In his NAB cup games he showed no intensity, poor skills and poor decision making.

    He needs a remarkable turn around if he is to have any positive impact in this game....

    Obviously it shows our depth is lacking, but IMO it's a really poor selection...

    Much prefer B Jack, who gives pressure if nothing else. Or Rose, who gives us a lively edge and some excellent goal sense.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    I'm pretty sure you can't wear an official "coach" title like he has now and still be a runner.

    I'm sure Stewie had a multi-pronged, obscure title that effectively meant he was a coach whilst not explicitly stating it whilst he was a runner.

    Vert very excited for Papley, Mills and Hewett, blooding three rookies in Round 1, wonder when we did that last?

    Talia concerns me but this is a great opportunity for him. I agree to thinking Robinson is rather lucky

    According to an article on the Swans website, it's the first time three have debuted in the first round since 1990, when four players made their red and white debuts. One went by the name of Paul Kelly.
