Changes for R18 v Suns

**neilfws** · 20th July 2018, 12:19 PM

Seems like every year about this time, we're talking about how tight it is in the top 8 and the importance of percentage.

So sure, should win this one easy whoever plays, but I hope there's less emphasis on resting/experimenting and more on putting the opposition to the sword.

Could be practice being a defensive forward ala Teddy Richards v Cats?

Line most I am surprised about Grundy being left out. Great to see Cameron in as he has really earned his chance. I concur on percentage. Several top 4 competitors have similar percentages so if we could pick up a big win it will help a lot.

Reg has been managed last two seasons

He rarely did running training last season

His injury is still being managed

I believe it is OP aswell as hannes or something very similar

I dunno about that. A couple of times recently he has been in the top 5 for distance covered in games. That could also be because he spends a lot of time on ground?

I reckon Sinclair (managed) and Kennedy might be late withdrawals.

Straight line running is not an issue with OP if primarily only running once per week etc

Think Sinkers will play but ruck less than he has.

Can’t wait for the game this weekend.

My other mind realises that we are playing the Gold Coast and so we may get a false positive out of these trials. It’s like giving a cricketer their first baggy green against the current West Indies. They’ll probably score a double hundred and look brilliant but we won’t really know how they will stack up against India.

But then again, I don't think it's been a Swans tradition to throw a youngster into the 'deep end' first......
