    Same Team?

    The Swans have now played the same 22 players for at least the last three games. Is it possibly time to give one or two other players a shot or should we stick to the same 22? Are there players in the reserves due a game based on their form, or for the requirements of the team?

    Why would you try to fix something that isn't broken. the only inclusion I can think of would be Schauble, but only if he is fit to play

      I am just wondering (without having a personal opinion yet) whether Vogels or Fosdike in particular could be replaced by any other players. In particular how are McVeigh, Malceski, Moore or Schauble going in the reserves?

        I think Vogels will regain his spot. Only through lack of options - If Saddington was available I'd swap them.

        As for the reserves read ROK's report;

          That's what Paul Roos said. That's why he doesn't want Schauble back in.

            It would be hard on him to drop him considering the game time he's had.

              I suspect we may need some fresh legs in the midfield to curb the Cat's speed and run. How has McVeigh been playing?

                What's been wrong with Fosdike? To me he has been brilliant as a bench player.

                  McVeigh would be a big risk in a final. Too soft. Perhaps Spriggs, if fit, against his old team? (I know shocking disposal but at least he'll get it) But there is no reason to replace fozzie as he's done well since coming back.

                    Agree, Willo was too slow. We need something faster in the midfield.

                      I don't see the need for changes. I think our bench is balanced. Vogels gives us another tall option up forward if needed, or he can play down back as well. Fosdike is having good impact coming off the bench. Ball coming on in the latter stages of a quarter to rest Jolly is working well, while the 4th member of the bench seems to be another smaller running player.

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

                        I Agree. Lets face it if it wasnt for the 3 Blind Mice and some crucial skill errors we would have beaten the Weagles on there own dung hill. So we should stick solid with the players there now

                            "If it aint broke don't fix it" - This comment is definitely not been adhered to by St Kilda who although are winning big games are still looking to bring back 4-5 players. I realise they are their regular players but if the current team has form why are they flirting with it?
                            Basically a team should be picked in accordance with the opposition you are up against. Just ask Sheedy when he dumped Derek Kickett for the Grand Final.

                              Agree, although Roos might not have that many options either to match the oposition.
