    Have been thinking a lot about the changes and this is what I would go with:

    In: Fox
    Out: Mills
    Sub: J Mac

    If we are winning then all is fine, however if we need goals, would sub out Fox and get J Macs run on.

    Would love to somehow get Cleary in the team.

      Can see Fox coming in as the sub, Lloyd and Jmac spending more time back

      Wouldn't surprise me to see Gulden working deeper in defence to break a tag

        Let's see how Age links go on the new forum



        They reckon that Fox and Cleary might be ahead of Adams to replace Mills, and "ruckman Peter Ladhams is considered an outside chance". Very outside I'd think!

          I've got two tickets to sell if Ladhams is chosen haha. Has hardly covered himself in glory when playing against his own club. Its not happening though lol unless there is some injury we don't know about.

            Yes, I suspect that the only people who think Ladhams coming in is a good idea, are ex-ruckmen who got hit in the head a few too many times during their rucking career.

              I like Andrew, but not his best work. Not much reporting in that; mostly speculative.

                This might be semantics, but Campbell and not Adams/Cleary/Fox will replace Mills.

                Campbell would have been in the main squad in the previous game if not for his grandfather passing away on the Thursday and some soreness earlier in the week.

                So it is then who replaces Campbell as the sub. Maybe J Mac and then Fox comes in for him.

                    I think you're right that Braeden will come in. I note that Adams and Fox both had the alternative strip on at training last night per footage on AFL360. I think Fox will be sub.

                      You're posting displays no signs of being hit in the head too many times.

                        A nice article on Heeney, as his 200th game approaches.

                        It is said the midfielder once had a batting average north of 200 and scored five tries in a grand final but he turned his back on other sports to become the jewel in the Swans’ crown

                            Lachlan McKirdy strongly suggesting on Twitter that Fox is the in.

                              I think Campbell will come into the 22 and then it is between Adams/Fox/Cleary. Fox adds the best overall cover. Cleary offers the best change up if the forward line is too tall, but he will be a deer in the headlights if bought on if it’s close in the last 5 minutes. Adams doesn’t offer much as a sub. If he was in the 23 he would have to start in anticipation of McInerney is sub. I am going with Fox as the sub.

                              regardign how the game is played. I think the Swans drop off was due to a mini-preseason after round 18. We just weren’t getting numbers to the contest. Everyone was saying we peaked too early and our game-plan could be unpicked. I think we have been having slow starts as we are conserving energy. As we don’t want a situation like GWS has had for the last 2 weeks. I hope I am right.

                                The club confirmed in an interview that no mini preason or training loading has taken place
