Davis in, Smith in......

I think that's a myth with Kirky. He has an awkward kicking style, but more often than not he finds his target. Bolton and Buchanan have better kicking styles but hit their targets a hell of a lot less.

I think he is still a poor kick but he has just learnt to accept his limitations and plays within them. It looks to me that it does impact on attacking quickly at times because he knows he can't take some options.

It may well be true that Brennan pulled up a bit stiff. But it is also a fact that his man, Ben McKinley, kicked 4 goals. He may have been able to get away with most of his errors, but I recall that he let McKinley get away from him after Seaby took a mark, then Seaby set him up with an easy pass, and I don't think Roos likes that sort of mental mistake. Seaby probably would have kicked the goal anyway, but that's beside the point.

I also think the Richards is quite a user of the footy, particularly by foot. He hardly ever misses a target. He just seems to lose accuracy when kicking for goal.

And Bevan a quick reliable kick, ala Mathews, but it tends to go unnoticed because we are always looking for errors from him.

Agree with most that JB is the one with a kicking problem, but the rest of his game is quite good. Marks very well and not nearly as slow as reading some of these posts would have you think. He is not a line breaker, but you rarely see him get beat for lack of pace. Definitely faster than Kirk.

Big problem - now there are two Nicks.

Can Smith be a Nyk - just as we have every variation of Jarred?

[Triple B]

Brennan named as an emergency, so I guess not injured.

Post #5 in this thread still applies

Any word on a Nick Davis injury? It may be that he is not playing and White will come in as the second ruck, Lewie to CHB and Ted to CHF. Otherwise we look very light on for talls and in the ruck

It was reported that the little champ was played out of the gaolsquare last week because he was feeling not well. Just speculating that maybe the greatest Swans forward since Bob Pratt isn't cherry ripe and Roosey is pulling a swifty

I thought Brennan had a shocker against West Coast. His disposals were by and large terrible. There are a lot wraps on Smith. I hope he emerges as another Kieran Jack or Cheese.

[Donners]

"Shocker" is a bit strong. I thought Brennan was quite good, with some particularly impressive penetrating runs and passes through the middle.

Do kicks to West Coast players count as passes?

Only if Luke Brennan had those West Coast players in his dream-team, that's why he may have kicked the ball to them.
