Match thread: Swans v Bulldogs.

Please NO McLean. Give Buller a try as the backup ruck. He could not be worse than McLean

Mclean as a fwd not a ruck, not to go near the square.

Dockers just played, Treacey, Jackson, Darcy, Voss, Amiss

We will have to play Hamling.... I just hope our match committee plays him in Defence on 1 of the above and not at Full Fwd

So if we win 6 out of the 8 remaining games, we would
miss the finals this year? Correct ?
Thx

To be honest, we would have to win all our remaining games, and even then, there's no guarantee.

It really looks a race in nine as I don't think Port have the quality to make a dent on what's ahead of them either. It'd take a total collapse from one of the top nine to change things.

Roberts OUT. McCartin back in. Roberts was really found out because he couldn't pick up cheap possessions as he usually does. It looked to me that it was a bit too tough for him, and Cox eluded to issues regarding easy goals by the Dogs forwards. Whereas Wicks did a very good job on West. Roberts didn't have a tackle.

Roberts not alone

Lloyd got half his 22 touches in the 4th qtr and laid 1 tackle, teams zone off him as they know he can't hurt them by foot.
Blakey has more pressure on him to go for line breaking kicks when Lloyd simply cant. (although some of his screws up were just plain skill errors)

Give Ollie some of Rowies midfield minutes and tell him to chase it, as he isn't suited for defence
