Thread: Changes for Rd 13 vs Hawthorn

Even some inside mids like Rowbottom and Warner picked up the outside game better than Stephens. Could he just be a pure inside mid after all ?
    Perhaps but he doesn’t have the body for an inside mid yet. I saw traits similar to Andrew Gaff especially towards the end of last year which just hasn’t happened this year. I still have high hopes but he needs to build a body of work in the reserves.

    I'm a bit nervous about tonight. Our guys seem a bit tired and Hawthorn is coming off a break and have a few guys back. We've got a tough schedule after the bye, and need to win this.

    Geoffrey Edelsten has died.
    How will people feel if the Swans wear a black armband?
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    I actually think we should - he did play a part of our relative success from 1985 for a few years.

    Feeling a bit paranoid, are we? Like someone's out to get us.

    You're not alone.

    Razor Ray my be a tad idiosyncratic and didactic, but he's probably the least anti Swans of the senior umpiring panel.

    [QUOTE=caj23;820526]The premise that there's no difference to the teams chanced with Bell or Taylor as the 22nd player is ridiculous.

    Even if you were to ignore the eye test (any average joe blow can see that Taylor is clearly the superior player), the numbers don't lie.
    Bell averages 7.9 possessions per game (yes I know he has been activated sub), 0.4 goals, and 3.3 tackles
    Taylor averages 17.2 possesions, 0.8 goals and 2 tackles

    Could this make a difference tonight? You bet it could.

    The old chestnut that Horse and the MC know more than we do will come out, but they're the same people who recently extended Naismith until the end of 2022 without him even getting on the park this year

    See you're poised to sink the boots in tonight

    Off course Swans supports should. He made the Swans glamorous in a Rugby League market. I wish I could have been born a lot earlier and indulged myself in the 80s. Helicopters, Swanettes, Bob Prichard, Warwick Capper and a packed SCG.

    A great era, perfectly befitting of the 80s. Loved it!

    I feel like the tennis player serving for the match who starts nursing the ball past the baseline.

    Don't forget Leanne - she was a big part of it lol.
