    Changes for Round 17 v GWS

    IN: JPK, Aliir, Hayward
    OUT: Robinson Florent Newman

    Aliir for Newman more so we can match up on their talls, I am a Newman convert but he struggled a just a little bit last night and a rest in the twos won't hurt him too much.

    Olly has done OK but this season is all about him getting a taste of senior footy and I have no doubt he'll be a very good player for us.

    Robbo likewise did some good things but is an easy demotion for mine.

    Towers looked good for the third week in a row and I believe he gives us something a bit different in the midfield, really happy to see him growing as a footballer.

    Assume JPK will be back as he was initially named, if so we'll have our strongest available team on the park next Saturday so no excuses this time. It will give us a really good indication of where we stand.

    Go Bloods!!!!

    Out Robinson Florent

    Now that Jack is back in form and Jones can play as a pressure forward, these are my changes. Newman has played too well over too long to be dropped. Allir to come back in and stay in.

    If Gary keeps playing like that then you may be right about Will not getting back in the side

    I know it was a long time ago but maybe Rohan is finally getting over his injury. Add in natural maturity at 26 and we may finally have a very special player. Absolutely electrifying on Saturday. Remember how highly rated he was as a junior. Deep forward is best for him. Also terrifies opposition defenders with his pace.

    He has the potential to be amongst the very best in the comp and I'm so happy we have him under contract long term. And I think we do perhaps under-estimate how his injury affected him. At his best alongside Buddy and Sammy I think we are very very difficult to match up on

    This is a big call but I believe that no team in the comp, even at their absolute best, would have come close to us in Qs 2 and 3 last night.

    He'd be stiff for sure, my suggestion was more on the basis of team structure than anything else. I didn't think he was poor by any means last night.

    Like Mug Punter, I am extremely excited about what lies ahead. If Buddy and Rohan play to their potential, who will stop the. Let's hope Gary stays confident. His best is as good as anyone's .

    Yes, this is the most logical choice for changes this week.

    The WCE were going okay until they decided to bring in a second ruckman in Lycett and got overrun in the 4th quarter. Just the kind of thing that tends to happen when a 2 ruckman side plays a 1 ruckman side. Sinclair has played well in the reserves and racked up lots of fantasy points and kicked some easy goals, but he dropped a few sitters as well. I think he's found his level in the NEAFL.

    Hayward very unlikely to come in after not playing at any level for 2 weeks and we are not even sure if he's fully fit yet.

    The talk of dropping Newman is just crazy. He's been one of our best players since joining the senior team. He's 6th in average disposals. He's only played 12 games of senior footy, but plays like a veteran. Fantasy points is not the be all and end all, but he's been averaging over 100 in the past 8 games. You don't drop a player with those kind of stats.

    GWS still went in quite tall last week with 8 KPPs compared to our 5, so that has to even up a bit. There's a chance that any or all of Greene, Williams and Steve Johnson could return to their team this week, so we may be facing a stronger GWS. We are fortunate to have our best side as well, if we make the changes suggested.

    Not bad Mug, I'd be happy with that. Newman has been very good, but he looked off it last night; a bit stressed. They'd be three great ins; I really want to see Aliir back.

    I thought Robinson was a bit poor. Didn't attack the ball, nor use it that well.

    Can't buy the Newman negatives, he's only played 10 games and been very good in quite a number, he's allowed an off game, he'll be coached through it and learn lessons. A real impact for us and makes our back 6 better. Won't be dropped.

    Hayward is still 18 and has a foot injury being given healing respect. Even if he's ok to go this week, he's missed two games so will probably return through the NEAFL.

    Mummy looks to be struggling, Lobb is now their most dangerous ruck. There will be thought given to Sinclair returning after a BOG game In the NEAFL.

    Aliir has to come back but not sure when or at who's expense or how he is deployed. The tall GWS forward line means he will be under big consideration.

    JPK should be ok you would think.

    This game is HUGE. Win and we not only cement a top 8 spot but given other 8 point games, we will be moving towards top 4. Lose and we're back with the pack battling to scrape in. GWS are not in good touch, have 8 or 9 best 22 missing, never been more ripe for the taking, we could and should win this. Go Swans.

    Sinclair was good, but his contribution was mainly up forward and a little around the ground. I thought he was clearly outpointed in the ruck by Dan Currie. If the coaches think a second ruckman is needed, sure, he'll be back. But I don't think he forces himself back as a ruckman in too good form to ignore.
