      It's real shame they seem to have made their mind up on White before yesterday's game. We're going to go into a game at the Telstra Dome (ie won't be wet) against one of the teams with the most decent talls severly down on height.

      If LRT is going to play in the ruck, I count only one Craig Bolton to take care of both Riewoldt and Koschitske. And both those are very tall, very good marking players. Maybe Brennan can sit on Leo's shoulders to take care of the other. I wonder if Leo can still leap if he has someone atop him...

        Fosdike is definitely not available. Injured his medial ligmanent a few weeks ago and I suspect is a few weeks away from a senior game.

        We all know Mathews is going to play. despite being largely redundant yesterday.

        And you need to add Moore to your side. On pre-season performances he has to get a go, even ahead of Bird and Jack.

        Ablett can't be any certainty to take his spot though. since he was also an absentee yesterday.

            if Jack plays in the back pocket
            Koshkicke, Gardiner King & Reiwoldt can use him as a step ladder or door mat if they can catch him!!

              Moore is named on my bench.

              And if Fosdike is out, Matthews will probably be in although I'd say we need another tall and we should give White a go.

                  Would be a great match up on Milne or Schnieder. In fact Leo or LRT could use either of them as a step ladder!

                    Here's an article to put the dampeners on any expectations of wholesale injections.

                    we should probably have a couple of young guys coming into the team in round one
                    .

                    It is not clear whether Barlow (4 games) doesn't get a mention because his spot is already secure or because he finished the season in the senior team, or because he's no chance for round 1.

                    Rookies turn up heat on old Swans - realfooty.com.au

                    Also interesting to note mention of niggling injuries to Richards and Ablett but still no mention of Schmidt.

                      You may be right Liz. Roos saying he would like to, rather than he will promote all three implies that he is still thinking about giving some of the serial RWO whipping boys another chance. Even so, I believe Mathews will definitely be dropped, and this will leave space for two of the three (prob Moore and only one of Jack or Bird)

                      The coaching panel needs to lose patience with one of Bevan, McVeigh or Buchanan OR for NOG to not be fit for all three to get a run.

                      Barlow is a given, he was in the final team last year and has been in our best two weeks running. I would be gobsmacked if he missed out.

                        Didn't McVeigh and Bevan debut in the same game?
                        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                          If you checked the RWOwiki player profiles, you would know that is correct stellation.

                            So they were, so you could argue the last Swans youngsters to debut Round 1 were Bevan and McVeigh... although the journo could then highlight they listed Bevan because he was drafted a year later than McVeigh and then debuted round 1 of his first year on the senior list. What a pathetic little pedant I am.

                            On pedantry, can someone be "very much maligned"?

                              Yes! When I can't be stuffed changing it.

                                Weren't McVeigh and Bevan both drafted in 2002 - just one onto the senior list and one onto the rookie list?
