I believe he means Bell.
I worry about this game without Mills and the forward momentum he provides. We (eventually) did well vs GWS as Hewett really lifted but can we rely on that two weeks in a row? And can we lose Hewett's vital tagging role when there are a few Freo players we can't let get a run on as we did late last time. We have a week to work on structure and it'll be fascinating to see what that will be.
Warner will not come straight back in. He had an injury that prevented him from running, he'll need 1-2 games in reserves to build the fitness back up.
If Lloyd could defend, we'd be less worried about the defensive end this week. He'll need to take Colyer this week.
Fox to Walters to match for pace is logical. And he can rotate on the resting midfielder, like Fyfe.
McCartin to Lobb. Rampe to Treacy. Blakey to Banfield
That leaves Shultz or one of the other smalls to cover. I think they'll probably play RB more in the back half, which he's done through the year at times, with Dawson, JMac and Florent cycling through.
I don't think Clarke is an option in defence. I'd give a game to Gould over him.
If you think of the wins that we’ve enjoyed watching this year it’s been the games against the Lions, Crows, Tigers, Eagles, Bulldogs and GWS. Those games had run off half back, ball movement through the corridor and lots of switching. It’s entertaining football, it’s exciting and usually ends with more open space for Lance Franklin to lead into.
That goal on the weekend that moved the ball through the corridor from half back and ended with Tom Hickeys running goal was more beautiful than Christie Brinkley in the 80s.
I don’t want the Swans going back to the down the line boundary football. It’s not entertaining and I don’t think it brings the best out of young guys.
I note the injury list is missing Ling who has not played for some weeks. It was reported on here that he has a syndesmosis injury but the Swans have remained silent. The Swans do have a track record of not re[porting all injuries like Ronke and Melican in previous seasons. Does anyone know the real fitness status of Ling?
Calm down Billy Joel , leaving Cunningham out of the side wont help , he does the selfless dirty work that lets Jmac , Dawson etc get loose and play more aggressive. You need a balance of both defensive and attacking players , you cant have a team of 22 all wanting only to attack , theres teams already like that and they're called St kilda and Essendon !
Don't you think H already gives us run and carry? He is a good kick (distance and flat), can run and usually hits his target. There is another one in the backline who can run but his disposal is not in the same league as H
Got my tickets to duck over the border from the North Coast to the match. Can't wait.
'Delicious' is a fun word to say
Had to comment on this - such a short list at this stage of the season is extraordinary. Have we been unbelievably lucky or have the medical staff changed significantly from last year?
Sorry, but this is disgraceful.
Bell tries his heart out and we shouldn’t give him nicknames like that.
Reminds me of McHack which was also disgraceful.
Cunningham is a long kick but not a good one. He's been a very good lock down defender this year. But he doesn't break the game up with his kicking or run anywhere near the same way Campbell, Gulden, JMac and Blakey do.
Yep not on , they are all Bloods least we could do is call them by their names !
