    My Changes would be:

    In: Fox, Warner, Reid
    Out: Mills, COR, Melican

    This is obviously assuming JPK and Mills don't get up.

    Didn't sound good for either Mills or JPK, with perhaps Mills a chance, but doubt if they will risk him. Would love to have Mills against the Giants.

    At this early stage, I'm guessing it will be the team we had on the field after Mills was subbed out, except with Reid replacing McLean, giving the nod to experience.

    In: Fox, Reid (Warner med sub)
    Out: Mills, McLean

    Mills will play. Every final is elimination for us, and even at 70%, is still worth it.

    I hear you, except I don’t think the track record of playing injured players in finals is very good. Generally under the heavy pressure they break down quickly.

    I agree about the value of Mills, but not an injured Mills at 70%. We have good enough midfield depth to cover his absence. I would prefer to try to get him right for the following week.

    Yes, I wouldn't take injured players into this game. David King was saying he could see GWS trying to bash their way into a grand final.
    I think I agree, the Giants are going to go down swinging. They will come after Mills & any players they suspect of being injured.

    Now that’s a surprising selection it’s almost as surprising as your complete lack of unfounded and biased posts about James and complete lack of adulation for Chad in your preseason posts. The same posts where you suggested we would finish between 14th and 18th.

    And we have absolutely paid the price multiple times in the past for trying to carry in injured players. Not a good idea unless need must.

    This is what Fox Sports are suggesting (but nothing is confirmed yet): Swans vs Giants, slated for Saturday afternoon at Blundstone Arena.
