Thread: Changes for Round 9 v St Kilda

  1. #37
    I would not put it past Rampe to play despite the operation. What a Swans player! A real warrior. Having said that we should not risk his health and safety unless there is negligible risk of hurting it further. If one of those tall backs like Melican is available I would go with them given the Saints' size in attack.

    I’m trying to put Rampe’s game on the weekend in context. I know Paps got the headlines but jeez it was out of this world. From the touch on the goal line to some daring kicks to the pain he must have been in.

    I’d put it on par with the likes of Joey in the 16 grand final or Heeney in AJ’s last game or Paul Kelly against the West Coast in mid-90s or Goodes vs Port in 03 final.

    Tough, skilful, relentless and full of leadership.

    Ramps got 10 from the coaches, Papley (despite milking those free kicks) got 7 (so a 3 or 4 from Clarko)

    Agree, although I would like to see Will Gould make his debut.

    Nicely corrected. Clarko thinks more of him than he says, but his diversionary tactics appear to have backfired big time

    Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson will receive a please explain from the AFL after his criticism of the umpiring following Saturday’s seven-point loss to Sydney, according to Sportsday host Sam McClure.

    Alastair Clarkson to be hit with please explain by AFL after umpire criticism

    McClure understands that the AFL will demand an explanation from Clarkson regarding his comments on the umpiring.

    “We can report to you tonight that Alastair Clarkson, the Hawthorn coach, will be hit with a please explain – potentially even more than that by the AFL in the coming hours, over his latest comments to do with AFL umpires,” McClure told Sportsday.

    Potential insipid slap on the wrist. AFL weak as piss.

    Official line is still that Rampe is a chance. I think they might err on the side of caution when the time comes, but good to know it isn't too serious.

    Longmire: Rampe a chance to play

  10. #46
    Longmire was more positive than that, saying: "He played the rest of the game and played a sensational game, so hopefully he’ll get to the line,"

    Horse also says Hayward and Melican both a chance to play. Not sure whether that's 5% or 95%

    I'd really like to see Wicks and Foote get an opportunity. Both are second year players with a good track record of performance in the scratch matches and the neafl. Both have contracts expiring in October. If they don't get a chance and continually get overlooked for first year draftees then it looks like they don't figure in the swans future thinking. In a season where finals are not going to happen at least they have earned a chance.

    Gray had one tiny patch where he got some repeat touches bringing him to 11. Wicks is a specialist pressure forward with very high tackle rates and good ball use.
    Stephens needs a rest with only 9 touches off the wing. Foote would be a good replacement.

    Amartey is the most important one to bring into the side as our ruck situation is the most uncertain going into next year. Once Knoll is fit to play, we should give him a shot as well. With list sizes looking to be cut, we will have a tough decision to make regarding which ruckmen we take into 2021 and whether we need to recruit one from another club. I don't think Sinclair can lead the ruck division. His an okay backup, but not a first choice.
