Changes for round X Collingwood Magpies

[Markwebbos]

I think this game is probably beyond any team the Swans could put on the park, even more so with so much experience out of the side. Please don't put Jack back.

These suggestions are based more in hope than reality. I'd like to see Buddy and Joey running around on Friday night. Can't believe I'm saying it, but I think Clarke stays after his job on Higgins. Sidebottom perhaps this week?

OUT: Jones (hamstring), Rowbottom
IN: Franklin, Kennedy

[707]

Jones obviously out and for a number of games it looked like, probably after the bye.

Rowbottom out of his depth at this stage, that makes two we need to find.

Clarke should be our tagger now, frees up Hewitt to play as an offensive mid.

Ins, who knows? Obviously Buddy & JPK if recovered, if they're not ?

Perhaps add Heeney to the doubtful list, even though he passed the test to return he looked a little out sorts to me when he came back on.

I would rather he is rested to ensure there are no further issues.

Swans won't push their superstar forward despite the lure of launching Sir Doug Nicholls Round http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-20/...sore-hamstring

There is some possibly good news in the article:

"The Swans could regain co-captain Josh Kennedy (quad) after he was a late withdrawal against North Melbourne last week, but they'll be without speedster Zak Jones for the next two to three weeks. Jones injured his hamstring against the Kangaroos."

[Markwebbos]

The article bears scant relation to what Horse actually said in his presser, which included:

Heeney got a head knock passed the test and is fine today
Jones' hamstring injury is not serious 2-3 weeks
He put Buddy and Joey in exactly the same boat "See how they train on Wednesday"

Horse said Jones is out 2-3 weeks with a mild strain so that will probably end up 8-10 after unforseen surgery

And when visiting Jones in hospital, Sam Reid picks up an antibiotic resistant infection and is out for the season.

And then Dane Rampe visits Reid, who is in his sick bed at home, falls over one of Reid’s dogs and breaks his arm.

But to add insult to injury a passing off-duty umpire free kicks him for daring to make contact with a dog. The golden cup Rampe was carrying flies into the air where Mills fumbles the catch and breaks his foot in a grate.

.....because Horse is a liar? (we know you don't think he's a good coach but you may be eating humble pie in a season or two)

That's quite funny but you really shouldn't be encouraging waswan's pessimism, deja.

And Heeney gets tired of waiting for Reid in the hospital car park and cranky for having to pay the all day rate,
and in a fit of anger accidently slams car door on his finger. Out for six weeks.
