    Marc Sheather named as sub. He’s a pretty tough and competitive young bloke. Great to see him get a run!

    Obviously the betting agencies don't think we are soft. Even after our poor effort last week they are only offering $1.28 for a Swans win.

    I agree with this quote.

    No soft team has ever made a grand final. You need a number of things going for you including team stability, good luck with injuries, and above all leadership from experienced players. The Swans last year virtually went the last half of the season to the preliminary final no injuries, particularly to the experienced players.

    The young players dropped their heads last week, and this is the first time I have seen it from this group. Hopefully they will learn from this

    Harry's an unfortunate one, he was bloody great last season before he got injured but hasn't been the same since. It's a bummer, maybe on his last chance today. Playing against his old team, he'll probably have a blinder. Let's hope so.

    I do not agree with this comment at all. Those teams had talent to burn, as history proved.....and FAR MORE experience that the current team. This group will grow.....as long as they don't get too many scars along the way.
