Changes vs Richmond/Injury List

[Dow]

Im not calling for Grundy to be rested, im calling for Ladhams to be played with him

If he plays Grundy solo again, ? i believe he is a @@@@wit

Glad they are trialling the 2 rucks and 3 tall fwds, about @@@@ing time

Apart from the @@@@witt part, I totally agree blind Freddy can see having one decent ruck doesn’t work on there own (look at the Collingwood game, the loss of Stein changed the game without that injury we wouldn’t have won) Grundy/Ladhams for me BUT happy if it’s Grundy/Mclean

[Dow]

Glad they are blooding some youth< Kyle is interesting having watched all season in the 2s he looks like a mile off it - but he is rated highly so guess the best way to learn often is to be thrown in the deep end.
Would be nice if we use a 2 ruck system from here on in, watching how effective Geelong was using 4 guys v Grundy to curb his influence I think it’s worth a look. Hanily is the only confusing player in the team for me.

Geelong are basically injury free. There are a couple of development players on their injury list but no senior players

They are flying now but they have had a few out early, fairing better than most I'll give you that

Danger, Miers, Martin, Cameron a few other missed a game here or there

[BRS328]

Freo are in an injury run

All teams have had a few out

We aren't alone here, we will just add Grundy to the list if we dont play 2 permanent rucks

So you actually think Cox is a ****wit? FFS, settle down on the anger a bit!

Anyway, with the release of the team today, you're comment now looks a bit silly.

Cox was interviewed this week, in which injuries were discussed: Changes loom at Swans as injuries start to bite (afl.com.au).

An interesting quotation from the article that everyone should note: "When questioned about managing Brodie Grundy’s workload after a demanding game against Geelong, Cox said that while mid-season soreness is common across the competition, Grundy is feeling good and preparing to play against the Tigers.

Should Grundy require a rest at some stage, Cox expressed full confidence in VFL ruck Peter Ladhams to step up, adding there's a possibility of playing both rucks in the same side at some stage."

So Cox may choose to play both Grundy and Ladhams at some point. I think the recall of McLean may be a prelude to this.

So we're trialling two rucks without Grundy, which is effectively what has happened with McLean's inclusion.

Also, I didn't appreciate Kyle had only been in the Academy for 18 months. Says a lot about his trajectory and potential.

Wow....just wow. Do you think we're going to lose against a half reserves Richmond? Where's the confidence?

We're second from top with a few injuries and it's all doom and gloom. Now I know why my visits to RWO are few and far between.

Sydney has fewer players injured than Richmond, our opponents this week. The depth of the squad is pretty good considering the much-improved VFL performance. I doubt we'll maul Richmond by over 100 points, but banking a decent win would be good.

.....with Cleary and Hanily in means a super dud team.

Also correct in saying Heeney or Grundy out puts us in deep @@@@, can't believe this @@@@wit is running Grundy into the ground, everyone else in the country can see it

Odd changes. Grundy rested (fair enough), Mills, Papley and Rosas injured. Replaced by Ladhams (fair enough), McLean, Cunningham and Kyle.
Doesn't strike me a balanced team losing two small forwards and replacing them a tall forward and back pocket.
Pleased to see Kyle get a game.

Richmond is so banged up with injuries at the moment that we can get away with not making strict like for like substitutions. Richmond's team selection at the moment is all players who are fit, then take a few out.

Four tall forwards means the forwards are a part of the rotations, especially McLean/Ladhams.

I hope Kyle goes well in his first game.

Out Mills, Grundy, paps, Rosas
in Kyle, Pete, Harry, Dos

I received a True Bloods facebook post that Callum Mills is now in doubt for this week after leaving training early this morning, moving gingerly.

I suspect Harry Cunningham will be the replacement if Mills doesn't come up, but good opportunity to also blood in Snell.

Interesting Selection tonight!

[imuninformedtwo]

And, it's Kyle
