R20, AFL 2010 Dockers V Swans: Pre-Game Discussion

[Go Swannies]

Swans not ready to talk finals - AFL.com.au

LRT and Braddy back R21 but:

"In positive medical news, defender Nick Smith is likely to return against Fremantle while Bradshaw and Roberts-Thomson are pegged for a round-21 return against the Western Bulldogs."

[Robbo]

Got a good feeling about this one. Freo really limping to the finals......

Swans by 35 points

Hope you are right. Reckon if we win this, finals are a certain and a home final would look very, very likely.

Would also make the Dogs and Lions games very winnable.

My first controversial post for the day - if Rohan is fit i'd play him instead of Moore. And thats not because i dislike Moore who ireckon is a pretty smart footy player but i think could very easily be lost over there.

Hawk and Lion face bans from MRP - AFL.com.au

Jack free to play ... hope he's in the same form as last week!!

Okay one problem fixed. Now to figure out who to drop for Smithy.

Teddy probably. He'll stick with Shaw/Mattner/Tadhg/Grundy/Mal/Bevan. Teddy looks the one to me.

*edit - Bevo is the only other one as far as I'm concerned. I think it will be Teddy though.

Although Freo don't have a traditional tall forward line, Teddy is one of only two tall defenders we have so he won't be dropped.

Another controversial post and I will no doubt get crucified, but in such an important game I think kirky should sit this one out....hes got no run and on that massive ground will struggle big time, we need pace over there. Slot him straight back in for the final 2 games though.

Kirky has not missed a game since 2002 (or something along those lines) and is retiring at seasons end. Do you seriously think the Swans would 'rest' hime now??????

No of course they wont, just a thought. So what if he's played since 2002, if it increases the risk of us winning such a vital game and having pace in the midfield at that huge ground, then why not rest him??? As I said put him straight back in the following week back at the SCG, no harm as far as im concerned, but im expecting no one to agree.
