Changes vs Richmond/Injury List

[stevoswan]

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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
