    Absolutely. I was just thinking that's it's so good to see him running, but before he gets a game, he's got to prove that his body is up to it and his fitness is aces. Hickey's second efforts pushing back and forward, tackling etc has been superb. I would have Tom in every day of the week atm.

    Hickey as well as being good at clearances is quite mobile and can also take marks inside 50. He is also an excellent kick. Naismith is more of a traditional tap ruckmen and is less mobile than Hickey.

    IN: Stephens; what has he done to not be included in the team?

    Rowbottom, we need some class back in the team!

    And yet again we had the appalling music screaming after every goal; why??
    Stephens had a late start to the season due to surgery. Two players will go out of our team.

    Heeney; Preferably replaced by a forward or a player who can kick goals. Hayward or Stephens would be adequate but that will mean some tweaking if Stephens comes in.

    Rampe; Will need to be replaced by a backman. Melican was BOG in the reserves practice match. Blakey's head might well be on the chopping block. Rowbottom for Blakey. Stephens to the wing. Kennedy to do more forward work as I think Parker, Rowbottom, Florent, Warner, Stephens, Mills, even Hewett will have the mids covered.

    But I expect Hewett to get the job on Toby Greene. If that fails, then Lloyd will take him. Pity Fox is still injured as he would be the perfect candidate with no Rampe. I expect Melican to play on Finlayson and McCartin to play on Himmelberg

    I suspect we will see Reid and Blakey rotating thru the backline again to help out Dawson and McCartin.

    Rowbottom and Melican are my likely back into the side for Rampe and Heeney.

    OUT for GWS is significant:
    Coniglio
    Davis
    Whitfield
    De boer
    Lloyd
    Kennedy

    Davis as an out has gotta be good for Lance. My recollection is that he has always been a really good match-up against Buddy.

    Hey I got sent to school in the Balearics, if where you got boarded was a defining factor I'd be posting on Rojo y blanco en lĂ­nea

    Most sides have a longer injury list than the Swans at the moment. The Fums will be missing these players more than the Swans will miss Heeney and Rampe, simply because they have more players out.

    Hayward and Melican in. In the context of RB likely not being quite ready, these inclusions disrupt out structure least.

    Melican and Hayward in. Like for like changes to some extent. Bell is omitted.

    What is going on with RB

    Blakey the cat with nine lives

    Why are we bothering with Melican and Hayward when we know what were gonna get from them every time
