Teams

Swans
IN: O'Loughlin, Davis, Roberts-Thomson

Kangas
IN: Hale, Grima, J.Clayton, Sinclair

Will be interesting to see who drops off the bench. I suspect Buchanan, Doyle and one of Bevan, Ablett and McVeigh (assuming Kennelly is fit)

[NMWBloods]

I wouldn't be surprised if Davis is omitted.

How good does that forward line look?

[Reggi]

Colbert was in hospital 5 days ago.

Strong looking side less Schauble, we won't know until tomorrow night

[muzza]

I reckon that the bench will be Ablett, McVeigh, SChneider and Doyle assuming that all the selected players are picked. Although I don't think that Davis will play so they'll probably go for either Bevan or LRT depending upon whether they want a tall guy or a short guy

[Dpw]

Would'nt mind seeing Ablett having a spell in the two's, I think he has struggled in recent games with form and time on the field some full games in the two's too regain some touch may help him for mind he is on his last legs after five years on the senior list.

IMO there is a lot to like about this squad... Only one or 3 that could be added.... Fixter, Nicks and Schauble Best 20 something.

Pity that 3 will be dropped - not from their own doings?

IMO Monty, NOG and either LRT / Doyle to miss...?

Mcveigh and Bevan have been the best of the small to med players - therefore get a lifeline.

NOG will kill the game on the weekend BOG in reserves - with no room in the seniors? Bad luck.... "Step up or missout!"

Monty will get a few games when injuries permit. "Ditto"

Either Extra tall or mobile tall? Weather to dictate either LRT or Doyle...

All view are IMO and not subject to any copyright.

[Bleed Red Blood]

Nicks was once in our best 22, but no longer, Schuable is an automatic, Fixter though like some said hasnt played due to what seems to be a recurring injury for about 18 months.

[dendol]

I hope the coaching staff arent considering dropping Doyle. If we are still talking about rebuilding, then he needs as much game time as any player out there. We need to know if he will be able to take over as our main ruckman if Ball was to retire in the next year or two.

Sending him to the reserves after one game is not the way to go. We can ease him into the ruck rotation, and eventually have Goodes playing ruck-rover or freeing him up to do what he wants around the ground.

[Sid]

I'm pretty sure we'll have to pick one out of LRT and Doyle but not both. My guess is LRT. LRT can play more around the ground whereas Doyle is a bit slow and can only play up forward, and looking at our forward line, i dont think we need much more in it.

This Bevan guy is too hard to omit as well. Schneider is normally an automatic. Wouldnt mind seeing McVeigh down back. Its a pretty full team once we get Schauble back.

[EMJ]

What about Rogers - when will he get a chance to come in to the team?
