Team List Team Selection: R5 v Gold Coast @ Norwood

[KSAS]

In: Rosas Jr
Out: Sheldrick (suspension)

Emergencies: Maclean, Dattoli, Snell

Snell to be one of the travelling emergencies in case Melican doesn't come up, even hough he wasn't mentioned in the club's Injury Report.

Papley and Rosas to perhaps share more midfield time to cover Sheldrick. Hard pressed to make further changes after such a huge win

Dattoli and Maclean appear to be pressing for selection going by their recent VFL form.

The team as selected (AFL website):
In: J.Hamling, M.Rosas
Out: L.Melican (omitted), A.Sheldrick (suspension)

Melican out as "omitted" is definitely a surprise. Perhaps he's got a minor injury and he's been managed somehow?

[Velour&Ruffles]

Definitely a surprise. Feels as if a message is being sent. If it was a niggle surely he’d be out “injured” rather than “omitted”?

[imuninformedtwo]

Will be fascinated to see the usual weekly video the Swans drop after selection, and whether it's a form thing, or a niggle thing (which would make the classification of omitted interesting).

If it's the latter, no problem with Hamling. He's been solid when actually played down back, and more of a true tall to match a very tall forward line.

Would personally love both Edwards and Snell to get a game soon, but Edwards hasn't had a good run yet and Snell seems more likely as a third defender.

Melican is interesting, hasn’t done much wrong, ( precautionary surely ) Hamling has been our best defender in the 2s so far this year. Wouldn’t mind seeing Edwards or Snell shortly
