    There's no secrecy on Melican. They've already said he might be ready to return this weekend, and if not, almost certainly the week after. They also said that Dawson isn't far behind and will be back playing either next weekend or the weekend after.

    I'm also with CTS re the Buddy situation. There's no reason to say early in the week that he won't play if that's what they honestly believed. As you suggest, ticket sales aren't helped by his absence so why deliberately try to slow them? And there was no evidence from the game that he was played - to boost attendances - when he wasn't fit to play.
    I'm not sure the coaching team really considers crowd numbers when playing deceptive games with player inclusions/exclusions.
    Nor should they.
    Nor should we be upset if they choose to do so.
    Part and parcel of 'playing the game'
    But there is no reason to call the Swans out on 'playing games' given recent history.
    Particularly against Freo who have been average at best this year.
    I'm OK with the Swans playing games with payers for advantage as a general rule though.
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    Harley talks about Dawson near end of this week�s injury update. He�s had �a wretched run with soft tissue injuries�, now back training and near end of rehab, hope he will play in NEAFL in two to three weeks with aim of building up fitness and a return to senior team in the future.

    Swannies players shouldn't be let out of the SCG during the season ( ). First Rampe broken arm then Mills broken foot.

    Just read on the swans app that Melican has injured his other hamstring and will be another 2 weeks!

    Mills had successful surgery on his foot.

    Alex Johnson will be playing in the NEAFL which is excellent news.

    And in even better news Reid will be joining the main training group this week. Harley said he will be aiming to play after the bye. So no more 6-8 weeks!

    Any mention of Dawson?

    Major bummer about Melican. Good for Marsh and, potentially, Aliir except he can�t seem to get his act together at the moment. Also Maibaum although I haven�t yet had the sense he�s on the cusp of senior selection. He hasn�t been mentioned especially in dispatches and nor has he been featured among the �bests� in the NEAFL in the past couple of weeks.

    Yep. May be back playing NEAFL this Friday, or if not, the following week.

    Watched Harley�s injury video and heard that Mills has broken his 5th metatarsal. �Oh� I thought, �that�s good, doesn�t sound too bad�.

    Then I read this article about the long, complicated recovery of Manuel Neuer of the German national soccer team as he attempts to be fit for the World Cup in Russia. ??

    By the way, from the photo of Mills� foot on his Instagram site, he�s broken his right foot (unless the doctor transplanted his big toe during the surgery ????).

    Am I missing something or has he taken it down?
