[Captain]

Gould will be the one coming in for Tommy.

Are we tanking?

Are we tanking?

Not in our vocabulary.

[Maltopia]

Are we tanking?

Harley Reid would be a good pick up for us

So now it is possibly:

Outs: Ladhams (inj), McCartin (inj), Sheather (inj), Francis (sub)

Ins: Hickey, McAndrew, Francis, Stephens (sub)

Two rucks to compete against Darcy and Jackson, and Francis to play with McClean as tall defenders. Though I would like to Stephens play and perform on par with or better than Serong.

[Dow]

Never say never

McCartin Concussion has to be a real worry, funny how things turn so quickly

[Mark26]

Hickey and Gould are in.

[Maltopia]

Hickey and Gould are in.

AFL site says
———
SYDNEY

In: T.Hickey, W.Gould
Out: T.McCartin (concussion), P.Ladhams (arm), M.Sheather (omitted)

Last week's sub: Aaron Francis
——-

We are short one in to replace Sheather who is omitted rather than injured. So could be Francis or Stephens with the other to be the sub I think.

Surprised they are going to throw a recovering Hickey and undersized McLean at Jackson and Darcy though.

[Captain]

Are we tanking?

Not sure what you are getting at?

[AB Swannie]

Francis is in the starting lineup. The sub will come from the emergencies listed which are Sheldrick, Sheather, Stephens, and McAndrew. My stab in the dark is Sheldrick as sub.

Time to move Callum to FF.

Gulden is surprising given how good a kick he usually is. Last year he kicked 18.6 (3 no scores) at 66.67% so he's definitely a huge drop off. Both Heeney and Franklin (our top 2 goalkickers last year) were 56%, and Hayward who was 3rd had 53%.

Not surprised about Chad's stats as he seems to have missed a few running goals this year.

Hopefully Francis plays as named down back

If Harry's playing id prefer to see him in the Backline and Campbell up the ground too

With Franklin McLean and McDonald also in the team, I can’t see him playing forward. Who gets shifted out of the back 7 is interesting. I haven’t been a fan of Campbell as a defender but he had some good moments last week and I’d like to persist with him there. I think Cunningham to take Sheather’s place as a defensive forward.
