    Your post gives me great confidence for Saturday. I would have been far more worried had there been even a slither of positivity in it
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

    But he will certainly still be here next year, that I don't think is in doubt.
    Actually, I think that by playing a certain amount of games this year, he triggered a clause in his contract, to continue on next year. So, well done, James.

    I took $2.65 on GWS early in the week, happy with my bet but not happy we'll be up against it with Stevic making all the 50/50 calls for GWS. A big handicap

    Even if he didn't he is way in front of several others comfortably I would of thought (ie in particular those in the vfl squad with AFL experience that haven't got near the senior squad this year). He deserves more time to continue to develop that is for sure.

    If 80% of the centre square ball ups can have Hickey, Papley, Parker and Chad contesting then I think we can win a fair bit at the source.

    After the Swans have won possession they must attack the corridor and switch the ball. We are not big enough with Kennedy and Mills out to win a boundary line contested battle game.

    Keep attacking the corridor come what may.

    Yes, the Giants have come in a bit, but are still too long. I can't see how we're favourites with Mills and Kennedy out. It'll take a monumental effort.

    Bell or COR have to come out for the Emerg outside of sinks


    Bell a big body but nothing else
    About 30poss in his last 5 games with 6 tackles

    Those guys will need a rest at some point though

    Surprised with Bells selection , but on reflection with Kennedy and Mills out we need a hardened body , Bell gives that .
    I’m going to the game Saturday and I’m going to watch his game closely

    But The Chad has come to save us. They can't touch us now.
    He even brought his own uniform. Stylish too: I'd call it Bohemian Grunge.
