The interesting bit is:

O'Loughlin is set to join superstar Hall, the highly talented Nick Davis, impressive half-forward Ryan O'Keefe, possibly Adam Goodes and opportunist forward Amon Buchanan in what is one of the most versatile forward lines in the league.

Its enviable variety and potency has previously been rated by former club champion and Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy as capable of winning the Swans a flag.

"If they can get a good year out of O'Loughlin, then I think they have a forward line that is capable of winning the flag," he said. "Or it is a forward line certainly capable of putting them in a position in the final eight to give them a genuine assault at the flag."

This is all true .........


As long as the ball gets down that end of the ground regularly.

It also states that Saddington and Schneider are pressing for selection.

It is still very satisfying to know that we have plenty of players lining up ready to step in when someone falls over.

So did the Reserves play on the weekend or what?

I hate to bring it back to the original topic but anyone want to put odds on who will miss out for Magic to come back in?

[Sanecow]

Buchanon or Bevan? I'm a bit worried that Magic will be under-done.

[gilze]

Hoping its LRT, possibly they'll drop Spriggs or Bevan

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Magic for Spriggs (the SCG's the ground where we should have least need for his 'elite running power')
And as for Magic not being fit, I can't remember him ever being fit, on the other hand I can't remember why he wasn't available for Round 1.

[Sanecow]

He looked alright in the game he did his hammy against Melbourne, 2003.

PS: "Mr" Magic?!?

Somehow I think Roos will give another go to Spriggsy, just for fairness sake. Possibly he may be used on one of the quicker Adelaide midfielders because of his endurance.

My tip is that Bevan will be dropped, along with Buchanan. McVeigh will come back in along with MOL.
