    It amazes me how undervalued Wicks is

    I was at the game and saw Wicks run off straight after the first contest. His middle finger was at right angles so I presume a bad dislocation. He came back on with it strapped but played low minutes so I presume was injured. He is the best player in the squad for the small pressure forward and I think the swans felt his lack of involvement in the gws game. Hopefully he is ok for the GC game to hold the ball forward.

    I noticed that TOG % for Campbell and McDonald were low 60's and for Wicks low 70's

    Gulden an impressive 91%

    We need Wicks in the forward mix for defensive pressure when the opposition gets possession.....so add him in and take Reid out to float around the ground to 'do his thing' when and where it's needed (which will include the forward line at times of course). He is 'the swingman' after all.

    I keep thinking this is a danger game with our 'outs', but then I realise we are playing the gold coast which are as much as rabble as they have ever been.
    We are lucky we are meeting them this week, and not someone else.

    I hope naismith is ready for the week after. Its an obvious conclusion that we are a much much better side when we have a decent ruckman.

    Papley did not take part in practise... ? Injured
    Rowbottom big strapping on knee but looks good in the photo
    Wicks has strapping on his finger - Not sure if his finger is OK or not?
    Sam Naismith on the other hand looks like he is in thick of the action now. So hopefully some VFL game time soon and then AFL - we may see him in a few weeks. Not sure how many weeks they would want him to play VFL before he comes into the AFL side. Surely the VFL is a better test than the NEAFL.

    Hear, hear! I have been waiting for him to land in the seniors again. He is a very good kick, moves quickly and happily takes on bigger people.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Photos show McLean and Sincs in the red singlets. Likely selections?
    Blakey and Campbell in green singlets. Likely demotions? COR in green too.
    Recognise this is a very inexact science..........

    Actually, the match sim today usually is the starting team, but I think it is the starting 18. Blakey and Campbell have been starting on the bench, so nothing in that. The other three I would say are ins.

    If Wicks was in the red then he is ok.

    Article on AFL.com saying Papley didn't participate in today's training and may be another potential injury/out for this week.

    I think I saw Fox too.
    We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
