RSS: Laidlaw to debut, three changes

[Jeffers1984]

WTF? Oldman Pop was right with the changes good on him, but Why the @@@@ would they drop Reg when they finally had the opportunity to fully utilise him?

Completely baffled and i seriously dont know what they expect of him from here till the end of the season. I'm sure he's confused as well.

Wonder if Goodes will really play FF.

Good luck to Laidlaw. Great body type for AFL and some really nice weapons in his game.

Finally Schneider being dropped after one bad game last week is a pretty hard decision on him. Apart from last weekend he has been OK to good which is the least i can say about J Bolton, Buchanan and some other midfielders.

i said 2 years ago that grundy will never be a senior footballer and he's done nothing to change my mind.he'll be gone come october

and in my humble opinion neither will Vogels!!!!

[NMWBloods]

3 changes is doing something different. I think Schneider will feel very hard done by as the scapegoat.

One injured, one who is often dropped and one scapegoat is not really something different.

Field umpires: Mclaren, Chamberlain, Meredith

It maybe that big difference will come on Saturday, the structure maybe really different without a CHF?

True enough - we may actually attempt to score some goals!

[stellation]

Somehow with all of the talk about Hall possibly missing I never thought of Goodes crashing packs. It may a good idea, he obviously has been down this year but looks to have picked up in recent weeks... could he have turned into a decent CHF in his time in the midfield?

Have only just been able to get here to the board since I heard about Laidlaw...I was hoping to get a scoop for you all...but better late than never.

I jumped around the kitchen when I heard my lovechild finally has his crack at the big time..........go you good thing.

The news that overshadowed Laidlaw's debut was my youngest's boyfriend has made the u/18 Australian squad.......but in stupid rugby. Go figure.


A big day.......go Laidlaw...make your fan proud.

[Damien]

I think Thornton and Vogels will play. Amon likely not to play due to injury and not sure about who else will come out.

LOL. My initial reaction to that, Satch, was "how many boyfriends do you have?"

Then I re-read it

Sounds like a good rumour to me......but sadly "no"

[Wazza]

What a cop out by Roos - drop Schnieder and Grundy What the??

Where are our goals going to come from? Cant see Moore having any influence on the outcome of this game, just another little slow garden gnome. Really what do we gain in dropping Schnieder for Moore? I could understand if it was Moore for McVeigh..obviously the Swans have no confidence in Vogels as this would have been the perfect time to bring him in.

Totaly bemused and cant see us kicking more than 7 or 8 goals this week

[Foreign Legion]

Davis will play FF I reckon - 1 out against whomever - might be a windy day and tricky for big fellas.

Grundy seems to have his file permanently marked - I would have given him this chance at least.

[Nico]

Schneider will play. His form hasn't been bad enough to warrant being dropped. My guess is someone else will come out. If he is genuinely dropped he would be justified in giving dagger looks to the likes of "pretty boy Bolton who hasn't put in for over a year. His skills are so woeful they are only likely to be 100% worse in the wet. His kicks will now go 10 metres instead of his standard 20 metres.

On a full forward it is likely to be someone like Davis because a tall forward on a wet day is about as useful as tits on a bull.

[Nico]

Play Bevo at full forward, an errant skid might just deflect off his boot for a goal. Just dont think he will be able to use his abundant pace and running game to drive his dynamic 70 metres kicks deep to the goal line.
