    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.

          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

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

                        Amartey injured
                        I'd play Ladhams

                          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.

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

                              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!

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