Swans make no change for Port Adelaide

[BeeEmmAre]

Sydney has named an unchanged team for the clash with Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday night, with Stephen Doyle, Tim Schmidt and Luke Vogels named as emergencies.
Port has lost Daniel Motlop for the season and dropped Alipate Carlile, bringing in Cassisi and Thomas.

Ok even I am now thinking ND needs to be brought back.
2 weeks in the McGoo's and no footy this weekend. Cmon Roosy lets not have an "Aker" at Sydney!

Yup pretty crazy.

That said options are open with Schmidt, Vogels or Doyle to go short or tall when (not if) one of Fossy or Kirk doesn't come up.

Pretty good team on paper,its going to be hard to see who they drop when ND comes back especialy if Reg does well this week. May be drop Richards,for Vogels.Kirk for Schmidt.Phillips for Doyle.

Bevan, Dempster, Grundy, McVeigh, Ablett, Schneider, Richards, Phillips, Fosdike could make way.

Where's Spriggs?

Still, as I said the other day, we won last week so no team change!

[Sanecow]

Spriggs was an emergency last week but not this week? I guess being best in the reserves with 25 possessions is a little unfit and out of form. @@@@ing at Roos.

[swans song]

No form no fitness. What's Nick do this week with Ressies having BYe. Play in Sydney AFL?

Schmidt has family in Adelaide. Spriggs will travel with the team to Geelong.

[barry]

I reackon one of Kirk or Fosdike wont play, which means an elevated emergency.

I hope its fine, cause I want DOYLE in.

[hammo]

Surely Kirk won't play. He was knocked out FFS!

[Snowy]

I heard Kirk on radio today saying he was fit and raring to go. BTW Sprigg's family live in the southern suburbs of Melbourne, not Geelong.

Looks like the NMW hit list. Mine is not that extensive.

At this stage it is Bevo and McVeigh with a ?

What I like to see though is they are giving Bevo at least until his 50 games to prove he is no good.

Not at all. Just players who could be replaced by Davis quite easily.

[ScottH]

Does this mean Doyle is really ready?

[DST]

One would think that Schmidt will come into the side for Fosdike if his calf does not come up.

Can't see the need for Doyle this week with Port only fielding one ruckman.
