"The same goes for Sean Dempster who is an elite runner, with speed and endurance.

"He obviously played well on (St Kilda's) Nick Del Santo, an accountable role and we have got a lot of faith in him. We started him on (West Coast's) Ben Cousins in the Grand Final so we obviously think he can play midfield."

does that put to rest the questions about whether or not Sean will play round 1?

No.

Swans coach Paul Roos said yesterday he was not expecting Paul Bevan and Sean Dempster to play against the Bombers at Telstra Dome and predicted a round three return at best for Tadhg Kennelly after a shoulder injury. Bevan and Dempster have hamstring injuries.

So the likely changes from the GF team:
Out: Ball, Bevan, Dempster, Kennelly
In: Chambers, Richards, Vogels, Malceski

Injury News on the Bummers

"Midfielder Brent Stanton came off early with what appeared to be a leg injury, but Sheedy played down his early exit from the field and said it was simply a "precaution".

"Henry Slattery got a knock to his ankle and is a "50/50" proposition for round one, while Adam McPhee went off after getting "his head split open". He had a cut above his eye and required stitches."

Also Jason Johnson may miss this week.

More height, less run. Problem?

I agree, too top heavy.
Possibly one of McVeigh, Moore or Spriggs (god no) might come in for Vogels to give us more run. It's unfortunate, because Vogels has definately earnt his spot but we need more balance.

Moore.
top notch@ Newy.
& can handle a ball, ussually a bonus?
