    I can't see the Swans risking veterans Ball and Schauble on a trip to Subi, if they're not 100%. Best rest them both for the Bombers.

            no point wasting time and money contesting the charge. We dont have a hope winning this game with or without Jolly. Better take the week and get him back for the following week without the drama.

            This game is shaping up like the trip to AAMI against Port last year.

              Looks like Goodes has to face those Subiaco demons of last year and take the centre bounces if Jolly's out.

              Eriksson is way too skinny and raw, but he would be the last resort if Roos doesn't want to risk Goodes.

              LRT anyone? Let's face it, he is a far better ruckman than CHB! And being immobile is kind of expected for them.


              It is his big chance to prove his worth to the team once and for all?

                I was thinking after seeing this that Jolly has had a great start for us, he is actually 3rd in the AFL atm for hitouts.

                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                  A forfeit, excellent idea. Get everyone fresh for a game we might win (v Essendon).

                    But what would it do to WCE's percentage? And wouldn't they be mad at the lost gate takings!

                    Then again, maybe all the media attention would shut the commentators up about our negative game plan.

                    Or show them that we can be REALLY negative if we want.

                      LRT to ruck all game? That really is laughable. But then again, it could be funnier, and we ruck all night against WCE, with Doyle changing with LRT, against Cox, Gardiner and Seaby. Throw another tall, Hansen, Lynch, they will be too big, too strong, too good, especially with this crap brand of footy that we play.

                        Wouldn't it be ironic if Goodes returns to taking centre bounces, considering it was the corresponding game last year that resulted in his injury and supposedly ending his full-time rucking career?

                          Roos had already said that his rucking career was over even at that stage and only put him back in there in a desperate attempt to find Goodes some form. Lasted about 30 seconds!

                            Just heard on the SEN 11am news that Jolly has rejected the offer of a one match ban and will contest the charge.

                            Not overly clever IMHO, but I guess the club has decided that they need to try and get him on the field at Subi. My guess from this decision is that Ball should be right for the Essendon game, otherwise they wouldn't risk having no ruckman for 2 weeks.

                            I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

                            If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                              Will Steven Doyle make a shock return?
                              I reckon we will have LRT rucking generally at centre clearances, but use Barry around 50 and inside and allow Goodes to go around the ground and inside defensive 50. Yeah it will be a loss to the side, our 3 top rucks out, but if we are serious about 2005 then we should be able to get by without. We will more than likely get thrashed in the ruck, but that just means our lads have to read the taps off Cox and co... Adaptability.
