    Blakey would want to have had a BOG performance in the seconds if he is coming back after only one week. Meanwhile the McLean and McInerney banishment continues. I do not agree with the notion we are trying young players to determine whether they stay on the list or not.

    Stephens, Warner, E. Taylor, Ling will all be Swans next year with or without games this year. By this measure we'd give young Swans like Blakey and Rowbottom a break from the seniors, given their spot on the list is assured. We know that would never happen.

    Make no mistake .. Longmire is fielding his best 22 possible every week, and McLean and McInerney are not in it.

    In Round 6 Vs Tigers, while AA was sent back to get form, McLean was our first ruck and Dawson was the one sent to some ruck contests. Unfortunately, he could not record any Hit Out Statistics. In that game, the Hit Out Record was 32 Vs 5. All our 5 achieved by McLean. (Yet, we frustrated Hardwick immensely.)

    COR had been coming along nicely I thought. Seems susceptible to injury though.

    I reckon they'll play him when he's ready. And I would think they'd be more cautious about a defender than a forward.

    i think McInerney has shown plenty in the games he had had. Given he got smashed in a few big tackles against West Coast, maybe they want him to build his body strength and weight over the next few months and not have his confidence destroyed by being physically crushed each week. You could apply the same argument for Stephens

    I think you are correct. However I have been able to watch the recent scratch games and to his credit he is rapidly improving in this department.

    Seriously, it’s getting laughable at how you and others on here can keep this narrative regarding Longmire alive.
    Longmire will never coach another premiership. That is my prediction

    Blakey you got but according to someone who saw the Scratch Match he does not deserve it
