But and this is important he has the ball ?
Rather that our player has the ball and has an incorrect disposal than we don’t touch the ball at all
I don't agree. While Georgie has got caught HTB in defence a couple of times this season, generally, when he has the ball I feel really confident he is going to use it well. He's very composed. It's one his great strengths in my opinion. If I think about Hewett's weaknesses, it's more that he isn't particularly quick or good against an aerial threat (this latter is particularly where he suffers in comparison to Mills playing the same role).

Does anyone feel that on the big Perth deck that we should bring in the run of Stephens for Wicks?
This would be purely a horses for course selection. You could rotate Florent and Parker up forward to add something in the small forward roll.
Franklin, McLean, Haywood, Heeney and Papley are all good with their defensive pressure and do stick their tackles.

In the mix, R10: Who's pushing for selection, who's under the pump?
This is speculating on no changes to the starting 22.
"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
I thought COR's game highly serviceable, not spectacular. I thought Gould was our best backman. Clarke, Stephens and Amartey are pushing the door down. If McLean was not doing so well Amartey would be in there.
The backs were a very tight good unit. I didn't think there was a real standout other than Gould because of his, ability to break up the game. Hebron was really good, so was COR. They played their role really well.
I am probably going to agree with you on no changes except that we might like to take Stephens along as an emergency in case we decide to actually match them for pace. That is the one area that we can maybe tweek and get a better match up. But in the main we should be too tall and experienced for them up forward.
Taverner is their only real key forward and I think McCartin can handle him. Against Melbourne I thought we were one tall back down. But unlike most sides Dees play three genuine talks forward. But the existing backs will be OK against Freo.
I think we are not too afraid of the new arena. We put Eagles to the sword in the first game played there. It is designed on the G so will suit our running game. I hope we bring our best.

Will we ever see Buddy firing on all eight cylinders? I'm ot sure we will. He might end up just a role player in his final year/s. He looks to have lost a metre of pace. His, strength is not what it was. Years ago he just would have pushed Maynard out of the way andoutmarkwd him. There wasn't too much of that I know he has had an injury, I mean he has had soft tissue injuries for the last 3 seasons.
I think next year we should move on from Bud and look to the future. Swansong this year to psobably arguably the greatest forward ever and the third best player ever. He has given us the @@@@s when playing for Hawks and the shivers when playing for the Swans. But one thing he has done every time he stepped over that white line, is entertained.
