schneider not out

[daniel f]

adam schneider has some hamstring soreness but will play this week against melbourne.other post reporting a season ending injury are false

[gossipcom]

Is there any major injury concerns for the Demons match?

From what the reports were saying Doyle got through his Reserves match fine and will most likely be rushed into the team next week.

i think schneider is the main woory but will play,and with doyle all reports say he did no rucking in ressies and would most likely only be brought in as a tall forward,still anything has to be better that the kid meiklejohn who is just not upto it yet imo

That's good news regarding Schneider.

Doyle as a tall forward would be a good option if need be to ease him back in.

I wonder if the Swans when drafting next season have at the top of their list "Ruckman".

Doyle, Meiklejohn, LRT, Goodes, Ball, Hall??????
That's definitely enough ruckmaen. What we need is someone who can win the ball. God we suck. Once again for the umpteenth time this year Cresswell, Maxfield and Williams did not win their share of ball until the game was over.

We are desparate for hard bodied young players who can go in and get it!!!!

Jude, Fossy, and Crouch did really well in this deprtment in the second half. It just makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking for the first hour? "If I just hang here about 5 metres from the ball for a second then I guess it's chance to bounce out to me at some stage....hopefully the both times it does in the entire first half, I won't fumble it."

Couldn't agree more Sharp9. Can't work out Ablett hasn't had more of a go for that reason. Thewliss looks quite a prospect also, no doubt though that we need more in next season's draft.

Also think the odd strong bodied KPP for the back line should be included (about 194cm please).

Ball is back next year, Doyle should be fit, MJ and LRT will pick up experience, That area should not be a problem.

Okay not Ruckman but height - we definitely need someone with height in our team - with the addition that they could also play in the ruck.

Willo's biggest concern on the night seemed to be his footing - he mustn't have had his spikes in because he kept on slipping over more than any other player. I can't figure out why he was benched before the end of the 2nd quarter and the beginning of the 3rd quarter - because as soon as he came on in that 3rd quarter he started to make an impact.
