Swans Vs Lions Pre Match Talk

[hammo]

Most likely playing in the 2s.

Who are the likely replacements for Hall because i don't think he'll get up.

Vogels is the most obvious choice. Tall Forward for Tall Forward
Moore for extra grunt in the midfield and play as a small forward.
Phillips may get another chance releasing Schneider in the midfield.
White unlikely but you never know.

I'm not sure who'll come in but I'd expect Richards to spend more time up forward if Hall is out.

Perhaps ROK will get first crack at CHF??

Bring back the Donk!

[Bloody Hell]

Anyone else slightly deflated by the fact that despite playing in the past two grand finals we are talking tags for a couple of 21 year olds??

Yes.

Load the midfield and give some youngsters a chance up forward.

[revolsnaws]

I just hope Fixter dont come back and bite us on the bum,ya know what those Wagga boys are like!

Only in recent times!

Recent times being 05 premiers and 06 grand finalists...I will take our game plan thank you.

I am simply saying that I am disappointed opposition coaches aren't left to ponder who'll play on Ablett, Kirk etc more often because our gameplan dictates that the tagging options are almost always decided by the Swans.

I think you're kidding yourself - any opposition that didn't have plans for Kirk, Goodes, Kennelly, O'Keefe, at least, would be setting themselves up for a very big fall. And then there's our forward line.

In the two games we've played this season, both opposition teams have had very defensive game plans that have included tagging, extra men in defence, double-teaming etc.

Will be disappointed not to see Hall vs Merritt if it doesn't happen. The young fella had a great tussle with Bazza last year. Baz got some of his much missed aggression on. I'd love to see more of it in general....

Are you saying Judd was tagging McVeigh in round 1??

No, I don't believe I did say that.

I think opposition coaches will plan around most of our players - it would be remiss of them not to. The main ones they would focus on would be Hall, O'Keefe, Kirk, Kennelly, Goodes.

What about Melcho?

[NMWBloods]

What about Melcho?

I doubt he gets special attention yet.

[Jeffers1984]

I doubt he gets special attention yet.

Not till later this year when they will have to since he'll be tearing the league apart..*fingers crossed*

[Claret]

What about Melcho?

I doubt he gets special attention yet.

. . . other than from my sister-in-law

(and she's not a coach)

[DeadlyAkkuret]

How tall is Fixter?!!

Earth to hammo. The Brisbane community on BF aren't part of the Lions coaching staff, and possibly don't know who Brisbane is actually worried about.
