[Barry Schneider]

According to SEN Leo and Micky are out of the match.

OLOUGHLIN AND LEO OUT

Hi Guys

What happened to Oloughlin ?

I heard that Leo was playing

What happened to him ?

Regards Dazz

[Bart]

Then looks like from the 7 man interchange of Ablett, Davis, Dempster, Fosdike, James, Meikeljohn, Powell only 1 will miss out. Dempster to debut ?

[Bart]

Makes it look very like the PF. Of the players we have lost from that PF side, all their replacements stack up well. All is not lost

Out
Leo Barry (inj)
Lewis Roberts-Thomson (inj)
Andrew Schauble (inj)
Adam Schneider (inj)
Daryn Cresswell (ret)
Brad Seymour (delisted)
Scott Stevens (traded)

In IMO
Amon Buchanan (Schneider)
Heath James (Schauble)
Jarrad McVeigh (Cresswell)
Paul Bevan (Seymour)
Ryan O'Keefe (Stevens)
James Micklejohn (LRT)
Powell (Barry)

Snowy's article was on the AFL website:

At least Roosy has a sense of humour about the Swans' injury-depleted list:
Roos ... issued an open invitation to the likes of former champions Paul Kelly or Barry Round to pull on the boots if they were available.

The Power though have 13 players on the injured list, and between the Power and Swans we have five of the seven season-ending Knee ACL injuries in the AFL. I say the Swans and Power should play for a new trophy, the Crutches-and-Bandage Cup.

I seem to recall advising that Doyle may have been injured earlier this week. Hope that is not the case however lets see what the smoke and mirrors holds up.

Call me old-fashioned but what ever happened to the needles, the heavy strapping, the magic sprays and the like that use to carry the players through the pain threshold and onto the field?

[dread and might]

^^

yeah bring out the codeine

[monopoly19]

This is unbelievable.

Schauble, Schneider, Saddington, O'Loughlin, Barry, Ball, Doyle (?).

What the hell is going on?

It's okay. They'll all be back in three weeks.

[monopoly19]

What happens if Doyle is out? Do we risk Goodes in there (highly doubtful) or play MJ there all day and basically work off the Port taps (unlikely that MJ would provide much of a contest against the formidable Port duo for any sustained period)?

Who gets first crack at Tredrea - B2 or Goodes. I'd suggest B2, but I'm not really sure.

Powell or Dempster in? Perhaps both!

At least it's no longer a choice between Ablett or McVeigh, I like them both too much

At least with Davis back in, there's a chance we could cover the loss of Mickey's firepower. Not so confident about our backline - Bevan, B2, James, Goodes, Kennelly...bit short on experience methinks. Would love to have Schauble back right about now.

[Bart]

I reckon Goodes will have to do some rucking, maybe around the ground, with MJ at the centre bounces.
