Laidler played in the ressies scratch match last weekend and played very well apparently. Would not surprise to see him recalled, particularly if Lloyd doesn't come up...
I'll be pretty pissed if Reid drops back in round 22 or 23.
Major concerns of match fitness, jelling with a new team, let alone performing to a better standard than he has to date.
Next year.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
Yeah I'd agree that the selections have been pretty spot on.
Also, not sure if anyone has mentioned the umpiring last game. Excellent.
In fact I saw it as biased towards the Swans to a small degree.
Most of the questionable decisions I saw were in the Swans' favour.

I remain unsure whether it would be wise to play Reid so late in the season with no match fitness.
I do salivate at the prospect though of having Buddy And Reid in the forwards supported by the likes of Heeney Rohan and Papley with Tippett and Naismith around the ground. The combination of those 4 talls is mouth watering.
That 50m penalty against Freo for being inside the protected zone shows how stupid that rule is if they don't apply common sense. A defender with his back to the player who took the mark and running further away = 50m penalty. Similar to the KJ one earlier in the season.
