Who would you drop?

[swan_song]

Looks like Bazza will return in two weeks, and maybe Fozzie ...but to make way for them, and maybe even ND, who would you drop? It was suggested on radio that Bird would be one...and Henry a straight swap for Bazza. I would be reluctant to tinker too much on recent performances, but acknowledge at least someone will go for Bazza's return against the drunks. Any thoughts?

Tough to drop Bird after game yesterday

So no change this week. Following that 'team balance'.It would be smart to try Hall & Playfair in the same forward line at least once

We will get some injuries

[reigning premier]

Hard to pick someone to go.....

LRT woudl be our worst performer at the moment, but he's playing back so not a real easy substitute there.


For the first time in a while, it's hard to see who would make way for a returning player. Though I think we should try and squeeze him into our starting 22...

[Captain]

Really tough one.

If we had no injuries (unlikely), then you would think Playfair to make way for Hall.

Bird might also be dropped, but only if Fosdike or Schmidt were carving it up in the ressies. Not for another week at least.

I love Davis, but can only see him coming back in if we have injuries.

[swantastic]

Hall for Playfair...IMO Hall should come back through the magoo's.

Maybe Fossie or Timmy in for Bird,but thats it.

[bandwagon]

Great problem to have. Unfortunately we will have injuries, as long as it isn't a ruckman or Goodes we should be able to cover it.

in davis hall


out bevan playfair (cant have him there when halls there)

Maybe a fosdike bird swap but i think birds been good


id like to fit barlow back in too he is a good user of the ball, maybe for lrt, though he was good yesterday

no doubt we will lose a game soon and chop a few, hard to change a winning side though

[Plugger46]

I'd like to get all of Hall, Davis, Schmidt and Fosdike into the 22. But at the moment, it's just impossible to get them all in. Great problem to have and one that I can't recall us ever having in the past.

Obviously Hall will come straight in. Playfair's been fine, but I just can't see him being in our best side when Hall's there.

I would've dropped Bird instead of Schmidt last week, but Bird played pretty well against Richmond - as did LRT.

[pigatfullfoward]

In Hall - out LRT, then we can rotate playfair up into defence a bit & LRT can try and find some better form in the reserves! no room for both playfair & LRT in the same team i dont think!

[ScottH]

You're not having Rnd 6 flashbacks P46?
Trying to fit more in the team than allowed.

[AnnieH]

I'd drop Bevan and B1.
Twig the others around to make the room.

[FootyontheBrain]

I don't understand how LRT gets mentioned in this thread. He was great on Richo yesterday. Granted, he didn't play well against Port, but I don't see him making way for anyone right now.

I reckon Hall for Playfair....and that's it. As someone stated earlier you wouldn't want to tinker to much with a side seemingly hitting on all cylinders.

I read an article where Blakey said Barlow was only missing because of a hamstring. He was playing very well for us early

[BSA5]

Playfair for Hall, barring further injuries. Barlow or Schmidt for Jude Bolton, unless he starts playing well. 1 good game (I don't rate his game yesterday) shouldn't keep him in the side.

[johnno]

I hate to say this but its almost like you want someone to have an injury so the others(Fosdike, Davis, Barlow, Brennan, Schmidt, Matthews) can get a run. I think unfortunately, Nick Davis and Ben Matthews have played thier last games for the swans. they've both been great servants to the club.

[swansrule100]

i think on current form only hall would be shoved straight in probably for playfair

theres seems to be a swans love in going on in the media etc

but if we drop a few games i reckon you would see some changes and our depth and youth questioned again!
