Both Buddy and Hanners have been ruled out. Buddy with a bruised heel and Hanners with a groin issue.

Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector
Getting a long injury list and no NEAFL game last week to judge form. At least two ins, be really interesting to see who and how we now structure up forward. Maybe time to debut O'Riordan and move Mills up the ground.
I'm not sure to be glad or sad that it's injury issues. When I first saw the headline I thought it must be disciplinary.Originally Posted by Danzar
Doesn't seem serious though, if we were playing say the Lions you'd be forgiven for thinking they are being rested.

I don't like the part that they will miss multiple games. Running out of talls real fast.
Going to be an interesting forward line setup this week. Will be nice for the players to have to think beyond 'Where's buddy for once', though of course we will miss the big fella hugely as well.
Surely this must be the chance for Cameron to debut, or will they go further and give McCartin a run - we need some sort of decent sized forward target to come in.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Debut two key forwards in the same game. I'd like to see that (no not really)
I knew something was amiss with Bud
So strange that he kept playing on or passing when he took a mark within set shot distance.
No idea medically why it would have felt worse for a set shot but it must have
He made so many strange decisions and didn't seem to be working as hard off the ball
Hanners needs fitness
Disastrous news with the loss of Buddy. Hanners certainly has struggled and this shows why. I have no clue how our forward line will look this week. It could be ugly for us down in Geelong. Only positive is we get to try some new players and approaches.

Glad that if Hanners is injured they are going to get him right!
But Buddy, nooooooooo!!!
We�ll get to find out if the Swans can win without him.
Perhaps we can take the Richmond experiment one step further and play with zero tall forwards.
Where have you read/heard multiple games? (Although I fear it might be right - both injuries are difficult to heal.)
Buddy�s bruised heel dates way back to West Coast match. Victim of the hard surface at new Optus Stadium? Makes Buddy�s performances in subsequent matches even more impressive - but I assume it got progressively worse (as tends to happen with a bruised heel if it is not rested).
