Today's a draft of your epitaph
I'd think that Ted may well be given another week off to recover from his concussion but the club will of course be guided by their medical advice.
If he is out then I'd think Aliir could well be given another game.
If Parker is playing with an injury that required a minor surgery I'd prefer him to be put under the knife asap and if that was the case I guess Papley would come back in.
Don't we have other defenders in the reserves aside from Allir and Xavier?
This is a big game - 8 point game.
Truth be told they haven't really played anyone and begin a 5 week stretch that is us, Richmond, Geelong, Hawthorn and Adelaide.
Would really like to win here
Also, re resting Parker etc... we have:
North at home on a Friday night
GC away on Saturday night
GWS away Sunday evening
Melbourne at home Sunday afternoon
BYE
Then Bulldogs at home , Geelong away and Hawthorn at home.
Wouldn't it be better for Parker to miss the GC game, or the Melbourne game (plus the BYE) instead of missing North this Friday?
Parker clearly is carrying some sort of injury - but I agree Maltopia that it would make a lot more sense (unless he must miss) to give him for instance the Melbourne game, to get a solid break to get over (or at least let the injury improve) the problem he has. Its not stopping him from getting the ball, but his effective use stats were low by his standards on Friday night.
No change for me if Ted is ok, but if Ted is out, then probably its a tough decision whether to give Allir another go, or go small and maybe bring back Papley into the forward line.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
I saw Parker at Eastgardens yesterday and the way he was riding the escalator clearly showed he'll be right to play.
It's enticing to think of moving Rohan down back - he's tall and his pace could really burn Norths big forwards (+ I'm not 100% sold on Aliir yet). But I don't think he's a Blackman and we need him in the forward half.
That leaves us with the most conservative of changes - out Richards, in Aliir.
Out
