Who will come in?

[Nico]

So far it is obvious that Schneider, Ablett and LRT will be missing round 1.

So Everitt plays, but who will be the other 2 to come in?

[Jeffers1984]

Well i would of expected Phillips to play round 1 but he's been out for the last 2 weeks. Not sure is the problem there. Good chance for Simpkin to make his debut.

LRT's replacement may come in the form of Vogels or the UNIT Jesse White.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

No consideration for Grundy? i think Sims is definitely a chance, and the Unit should replace LRT

[Bleed Red Blood]

I'd like to see Schmidt and Vogels given a strong run, particularly Vogels. He'd be, what, 25 now, and in his third AFL season. Needs to show if he's up to it.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

What's your opinion on Vogels? he's shown flashes of potential when given the chance, but i'm still not sure whether he's a forward or a backline player.

[Sanecow]

Bevan.

I have a nagging suspicion watching him that he's too slow for AFL football.

I think Schmidt will take Ablett's spot, Everitt obviously and Simkin or Phillips depending on Phillips' fitness.

Bit early to say, but it would be unlikely that Doyle will be ready by Round 1, so Everitt will slot in for him.

Vogels is being groomed as a defender, so he will probably come in as a CHB come CHF/FF as required for LRT.

Schmidt for Ablett seems logical, but I wouldnt discount Albett totally.

And there would be any number of candidates for Schnieders spot. Flukey half forwards can usually be pulled from obscurity.

Liked Vogels game down back a lot more this week than last week - in fact, I thought he was our cool head in defence while Bolton seemed to be having a "clanger fest". Jury's still out on whether he's a KP defender but yesterday was a more promising display than vs the Pies.

[Lord Humungus]

shmidt and moore if he is fit or phillips as the small forward.

[liz]

Phillips, Moore, Simpkin - possibly even DOK, though we've not seen him yet and it's not like the Swans to through a newbie to the Lions so quickly - could all be capable of coming in and playing as a smallish forward / flanker.

Alternatively, as a small defender - another role Schneider sometimes plays - even Jack may not be out of the question based on Saturday's performance, rookie status notwithstanding.

At this stage I suspect Moore or Simpkin would be most likely.

[Jude4eva]

Simpkins and Grundy - was very impressed with Simpkins on Saturday he played an excellent game

[reigning premier]

Grundy, Vogels and Phillips.

Only left out White because at this point in time, we don't need another tall/marking forward.

The loss of Schneider and Ablett takes away a bit of our run and our crumbing options so the smaller Phillips will be a more logical replacement.

Grundy can probably replace Ablett and Vogels just because he's next in line.

Simpkins didn't really impress against Bulldogs IHMO.

Why would you bring in two talls when Ablett is a midfielder??

Grundy on Cousins?? I doubt it.

Schmidt is the obvious one or Moore if he's fit.

Agree.....

But Schmidt and Moore haven't impressed me to date.

Bearing in mind that the loss of Ablett will probably need more of a reshuffle than a simple one for one replacement.
