Reserves

You know, I actually feel sad for poor Spriggs. He's not been given a lot of opportunity since he came north. This is part of the problem of having reserves in Canberra. Players consistently dominate but no one actually knows what it means. So in lieu of selection by performances in the seconds, it comes down to 'effort' and all the other stuff already said in upteen threads.

Would still be picking up a decent wage each week, not to mention the women.

Spriggs was unlucky not to play against West Coast and Richmond, but I think Roos has made it pretty clear now that he won't be seen in the Swans seniors again.

Okay, I don't feel sorry for him anymore. The man has it made.

So when he's named as an emergency, Roos is just messing with him?

Ya cant keep blaming Roosey, we all know the players pick the team.

Kirk will play because he will pick himself.

Here is how it happens.

All 22 who played last week except the newer guys get to pick someone for the team next week. They all pick themselves. So lets say there are 2 certain injuries who wont play (this is rare but there must be a Plan B), there are 2 places left to fill. The leadership group then goes into a huddle and come up with replacements and if the younger players can keep their places.

If there are any regulars previously dropped back to the 2's (rare) or coming back through injury they are automatic selections.

QED. Won us a flag so OK by me.

Dont forget to add that the 2 injured players will try to hide the injury from the medical staff so they can still play.

And if they cant find someone they like in the 2's, they scour the rookie list, or SFL.

Part of Plan B is "refer to draft profile".
