    Would the NEAFL players be involved in this if they are playing tomorrow? I would’ve thought that anyone training in Sydney would be part of the senior squad as the NEAFL team would be flying to NT.

    Oh @@@@@, I did get confused in my haste to post.....

    Ok, new bench.....COR, Jones, Rohan and either Marsh or Newman. No Towers, Robinson or Cameron.

    I think I'm on track now.....

    Does Gary usually take his dog to training?

    All the pictures on Swans twitter I've seen so far were of those named yesterday (incl. Jones, Newman, Towers, Marsh and Robinson from the extended bench) or injured (Stoddart, McVeigh, Jack, Ling).

    So you may be right.

    It’s very rare Ugg. I didn’t spot Cameron in any vision nor Rohan but I could be wrong and that would be at odds with the previous mention that Rohan tweeted from Sydney.

    FWIW, I couldn't spot O'Riordan either so absence from limited photos/videos may not be the best indicator.

    Sydney Swans v North Melbourne
    Interchange: O’Riordan, Jones, Robinson, Newman.
    Emergencies: Marsh, Towers, Rohan, Cameron.
    Papley, Heeney, Newman, O’Riordan in for McVeigh, Jack, Hannebery, Towers.

    So I guess Fox is our new 2nd ruckman?

    The reason Hanners plays off the right wing at centre bounces is he doesn't have a right foot. So when he gathers he runs towards the centre corridor to deliver. If he was on the left side the ball would have to go behind him for him to gather and turn on his left going boundary side. If you look at Ablett, Selwood and Dangerfield they kick well off both sides, so it matters not where they start at centre bounces.

    Hawthorn a few years back had a wealth of left footers who almost always went to the left flank when coming out of the back line with long kicks. Also they usually switched from the right to left flank. It seemed to be hard for opposition sides to deal with. Mitchell was also good out of the guts because he kicked well both sides, hence he didn't turn back into the play when he got possession.

    Rohan returns via the NEAFL. Should make plenty happy

    Or maybe Aliir? There’s been a suggestion that Daw will play forward this week, given the Roos’ dearth of other tall options. He or Brown is also likely to be their second ruck so unless Goldstein rests up forward, they’ll be very short up there when their second ruck is relieving. That means that the defence may be able to spare Aliir for periods.

    Usually the dog goes to training and Gary stays home.

    What about Aliir?

    I hope Gary is going to play the NEAFL game and is not one of the travelling emergencies. It will be very interesting to see where he plays in the reserves if he does play. I wonder if we will try him out again as a running half back, which I think would be a wise choice.

    Everyone who is not a KPP or a ruck plays midfield at some stage in the NEAFL.
