Surely he plays 2-3 good games in the NEAFL first and then comes back into the team. That way everyone would be happy.
Anyone know if the swans are training today as I'm in Sydney and would love to watch the boys...
Usually 4 days and 2 days before match day.
This week they already trained Tuesday and looking at Twitter, it's either finishing up or just finished.
Unfortunately, I think it's going to take more than a few NEAFL games to get his body right. I feel physically he's living on the edge. I accept the risk of picking him is he falls over mid game and we are a person short. But, realistically we won't make the finals without taking risks and it's probably good for the young guys to learn from his experience.
I think Macca is in our best 22, but not by a big enough margin to warrant inclusion in the side at the expense of a developing player. For example, I would prefer to keep Rose in the side at the expense of Macca, even if Macca would probably make a bigger contribution. The margin is not that great. Macca is going to retire, while Rose is developing into a decent player and could be around for the next premiership run.
