    Go Swans!
    Yeah pretty spot on outs. Blakeys dropping a Few weeks overdue, I reckon this will be a good kick up the bum for him, he’ll return with a vengeance in a few weeks or so. Good to see Wicks get a shot, really made to earn it and we need a good pressure small forward to compliment Paps.

    I like Melican in as I still think he’s a future pillar down back for us.

    Thurlows selection is a bit puzzling though. We’ve dropped a mid and three mid/forwards for one forward , one mid and two defenders. Mills obviously comes into the mids but I wonder what the other move is ?

    Perhaps Sinclair may be a late out and AA to ruck ? Based on nothing other than we may be slightly tall with this line up ..

    Wouldn't be suprised if Longmire played Melican up forward.

    Would of liked to of seen Taylor stay, otherwise relatively happy with the changes

    I think he’ll try and play AA v Grundy and use Sinkers as a fwd/ruck.

    Emergencies: Clarke, Warner, Taylor and Blakey

    I did consider that also but I just felt Reid , Mccartin and Cal is a fairly big forward line... on the other hand could create a favourable matchup for one of them so you never know!

    But yes based on the emergencies a late change doesn’t seem too likely ...

    Collingwood aren’t known for their tall fwd line so I can’t think we’d play all of Rampe, AA, Melican, Fox and Thurlow back there!

    Hopefully it doesn’t mean Rampe will be the late out?

    Thurlow could also be used to free up Dawson/Hayward

    Don't mind the changes. I sort of agree that Thurlow probably should get another opportunity to show if he can offer us anything as so far he really hasn't. I would prefer Gould in his spot as I think he is our future as our 3rd or 4th tall backman but for whatever reason the match committee doesn't think he's ready yet.

    Like that Wicks is getting a go. Finally a debutante that we'll play as a pressure forward that actually has a bit of history of playing that position! Lol.

    The treatment of Taylor and Gray is pretty puzzling. Our recycled recruits used to get a solid run in the seniors and a bit of faith shown in them even with a slow start.

    Gray and Taylor are the first out every week

    Right you are, now it makes sense ! I’d like to see Dawson a bit more on a Wing or even ball so hopefully that’s part of the thinking

    Hmm I half agree. Would persist with Taylor but Gray hasn’t shown much at all and he’s had a few cracks at it now.

    On their hour of need, the MC seemed to have turned to this thread for guidance!
    Great changes.....Thurlow a slight surprise but my guess is if he (or Melican) doesn't deliver in the next few matches, Gould will soon debut.

    That's because they are not just having a slow start. They are regularly in our worst players in losing performances.

    The optimist in me says Blakey is being managed with a whole lotta footy coming up.

    The realist in me says we have a bye after the Pies match so anyone being omitted is being dropped.
