It would be a brave selection committee to bring back Rohan for a final, considering his finals record is far worse than his H&A record which is not exactly flash either.

Who we really need back is Reid.

Rubbish, Reid is much needed.

I actually mean't we are in trouble because he won't be available. But thanks for your comment.

Tempted to play Rohan for Ronke who has tapered off understandably

[cruiser]

Rohan should never again play finals football for Sydney.

Man it would be so good if we get Reid back. We need another experienced tall in the forward line. We really got found out in the 2nd half against hawks. Didn't have a target inside 50.
Man its tough waiting 2 weeks for finals footy to start!

I won't be surprised if Dawson loses his spot but I'd love him to stay in the team. He wasn't great against the Hawks but I think he suffered from the same blight as Aliir - a couple of early mistakes lead him to stop attacking the ball.

Even with Buddy back, we are still low on marking targets in our forward line and he genuinely offers that. His field kicking has also been quite good. He clearly doesn't yet get much of the ball but he's shown he can be prolific at NEAFL level so I expect him to progress quickly at senior level once he gets his confidence up.

I believe he only played 58 minutes and I am guessing he was the 2nd ruck

Didn't he play in the NEAFL and was a late call up?

He didn't play the NEAFL game. The Swans were clearly aware that Parker and Franklin were in doubt and held three emergencies back from the NEAFL game as cover.
