Changes for Rnd 16 V The Eagles

[Doctor]

Well I'd have preferred TDL to be in the side, but we're on top, so I assume the coaching staff know what they're doing!!

Final teams

Eagles
I/C: Mitch Brown, Koby Stevens, Jacob Brennan, Thomas Swift
Emg: Lewis Stevenson, Murray Newman, Fraser McInnes


In: Adam Selwood, Mitch Brown, Brad Sheppard, Thomas Swift
Out: Quinten Lynch (Suspension), Luke Shuey (Suspension), Josh Hill (Hamstring), Murray Newman


Swans
I/C: Martin Mattner, Daniel Hannebery, Mike Pyke, Andrejs Everitt
Emg: Trent Dennis-Lane, Tony Armstrong, Tommy Walsh

I would have loved to have seen TDL get a run back in his home town. My preference would have been Everitt out too with TDL in.

As it is, you can bank on Everitt being the sub.

I suspect so too.
If they play Pike, Sam and Goodes up forward then there's no need for LRT, but the temptation to utilise him down back (if Ted/Reg can't handle the resting ruckman) or up forward (if Goodes moves onto the ball) will see him keep his place.
Will this make us top heavy?

THis is what I think will be occupying the minds of the match committee most - to LRT, or not to LRT. Would be a very handy back up defender if the resting rucks become a handful for Grundy/Ted, but may be exposed at Subi as one tall too many if played as a forward. Not easy.

I don't think we will put LRT back on Cox, not from the start anyway. Whoever is on Cox or NicNat while they are playing as forward will require help and we may try and engineer a loose man, or the "plus one" as Rodney Eade likes to call it, in Mattner or Johnson to assist.

[Nico]

Don't think LRT has the height to go with cox. Pyke will run with him you'd think.

Maybe they will tag team him. On the ball Pyke gets him, up forward LRT takes over.

[Mr Magoo]

If the order of the interchange sent out by the swans in the match preview is any indicator then it may be Everitt, Armstrong and Walsh will be the emergencies.

Would make sense - armstrong for mattner, tdl for everitt.

I think they will not allow cox to drop back into the whole. I suspect that LRT will assigned the task of manning him when he is not in the square. Similar role he played on Gardiner in 2005

[Ruck'n'Roll]

My money is that there will be no change to last weeks team.

[Bloody Hell]

LRT may be used in exactly that role to tag cox around the ground.

We can only hope.

[BillyRayCypress]

Makes no sense to have Mattner on the bench and then the person who replaced him last week in the side. Unless Mattner is a no go.

If anyone came in I would hope that its TDL.

[Go Swannies]

Don't think LRT has the height to go with cox. Pyke will run with him you'd think.

Pyke may have the speed but I don't think he has the smarts. I'm guessing LRT at least in our forward half and Reg in the back half.
