    It's odd, as they usually appear with the selection of the final 22.

    Who do you think will come in for spida if he's a late scratching?

        I think by the end of the season Playfair will be out and Barlow in.

        Does anyone think our current squad is a bit top heavy and slow up forward with Hall, O'Loughlin, Playfair and Everitt/ Jolly when move forward? Really need another runner through there... hence I think Barlow will be back in the side sooner rather than later.

          Agreed. I'd love to see him back in sooner rather than later, purely due to his athleticism and speed (when he's on song). Like you said, i think we need someone of his ability in our side. He's a player for the future, starting now.

          Also, he's pretty accurate on the run around the fifty metre arc

            He's in the same position as 'Eski was a few seasons back. The Swans selection panel has shown that they'll give regular stints in first grade before dropping them back to reserve grade to bring some consistency into their game before giving them a full season. We've seen it now with Moore and Jack but have seen in the past with McVeigh and Buchanan.

              That game was awful! I was so so saturated. I left at 3-quarter time and spent the next week in bed with the flu.

                This will be a fascinating game to see our forward structure. I reckon that Henry stays in as he's being groomed as our next tall marking forward. So how do we fit Baz into a structure that has worked well the past few weeks?

                If we go back to just kicking to him I'll be very disappointed. So kick it to him for the first couple of entries, then he'll have two defenders hanging off him and that'll leave the rest of the forwards free to run amoke.

                I still can't take this game lightly - Roos and Ross have points to prove and so far Ross is well in front in the direct competition. It looks like being wet and windy too so anything could happen. I hope what happens is that we go out to 60 points in front and stay there.

                  Simple, as he draws 2 and 3 defenders, that'll leave Henry to clean up, as the ball sails over Hall's (& co) head.

                    the weather report is looking better than first thought so it may not be a mud wrestle that was initially intimated. I'm still nervous though.
                    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                      Ask him why he isn't playing! Ask him ask him ask him!
                      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

                            First time we pretty much have a full strength side we've fielded all season, should be a cracking game

                              Probably our best side since Grand Final 2006.

                              Although we have Mal, Tiger and Matts (Dream Team), Tiger and Mal do have dodgy knees and I hold a small breath every game hoping they get through it.

                                i would of dropped playfair. Though perhaps he is there to cover spider? i dont know, guess he has done nothing wrong. But theres a different forward i would bring in
                                Theres not much left to say
