Team Selection: Round 16 v Western Bulldogs

[BRS328]

Didn't see it but I'm guessing the role Lloyd played in the Ressies is one he wouldnt in the League....Where as Floreant would be asked to do a similar Role as a midfielder.
All for Ollie not Lloyd.

As for Goalkicking Amartey was 11.7 before the weekend, terrible, poor yes yes but not a pattern.

Like Ladhams on the basis of giving Grundy a bigger chop out against higher quality rucks but I'd keep Mclean and drop Francis.

Nothing against Francis, he is doing his job which is to perform when called upon.

If Ladhams comes in to be the second ruckman I cannot see why you would keep McLean in the team. Francis offers more mobility and can take a competitive overhead mark,and can also assist in defence if needed

I get Francis is going ok but if Mclean isn't injured, he needs to play, has more upside than Francis.

Amartey is mobile and Mclean can stay deep against their tall defenders.

[UUaswan]

And Mclean is a better fwd when he doesn't have to ruck

[Roadrunner]

Yes but he was proppy last week and may need a rest, so bring Ladhams in. Ollie back in place of Bice.

If McLean was the player was in the past but I fear he’s pretty cooked a spell in the 2s might help find his form, I’d prefer Ladhams in

He just had a spell.

I think his issue is he isn't a Ruck, don't Ruck him.
If he stays fwd he has to be defended.
Offers next to nothing in the Ruck, we go backwards when he goes in there.

Francis Out, Ladhams rucks
Mclean Amartey Fwd
Only an issue playing him as a fwd if Logan was Playing

I use to think along the same lines but now, I really think McLean just isn’t up to it and he’s actually getting worse he just isn’t a threat I’d rather Francis and play Ladhams Ruck and stay home forward

Not sure if anyone has has noticed, but McLean looks like he is carrying an injury?

He isnt a ruck and when he has hardly played alongside a another tall fwd, if he is injured as well than that's the trifecta.

Love what Francis is doing but he is a backup for injury

[Thunder Shaker]

Intterview with Cox that discusses some points on team selection: Swans' strategy to contain 'phenomenal talent' (Darcy), Cox backs forward (Amartey) to rebound.

[UUaswan]

Amartey injured
I'd play Ladhams

[dejavoodoo44]

Changes for the Bulldogs match.

In: J.Lloyd, O.Florent
Out: J.Amartey (hamstring), R.Bice (omitted)

Don't know when Amartey did his hamstring, but the mystery injuries are starting to drive me a bit crazy.

[imuninformedtwo]

Poor Cox. No luck with injuries and suspensions at all.

[KSAS]

We've haven't had a week when we've hadn't lost someone through injury or suspension, including our Bye week (Ladhams). This has become so frustrating!

[Thunder Shaker]

Don't know when Amartey did his hamstring, but the mystery injuries are starting to drive me a bit crazy.

According to the Sydney Swans website, Amartey had some hamstring tightness during training and has been ruled out as a precaution.

TEAM: Two changes for Friday night clash
