Team Rd 18 v Western Bulldogs

[connolly]

That's not exactly a world beating side on paper. Nevertheless, would rather go down with something gained through blooding new players.

I really hope Vesz in particular has a cracking game.

Its a very quick side. If Big Beamish has his game day face on we could put the Dogs down

Great to see the two youngsters get a go. Really looking forward to seeing Ves get a game.

And I do hope that Im proved wrong about Crouch, but surely those criticising the opinions of those that have a negative view of the selection of Crouch (Myself included) can see why we might possibly have a negative view. I damn well hope he proves me and all the other doubters wrong, I really do but imo its just a step backwards. Lets see what happens on Sunday, it shall be interesting.

Woohoo...go Vespa

Leo out altogether - Brennan takes his place while White goes to emergency. I'm not sure why Mal would be an emergency?

I'm not sure why Mal would be an emergency?

Perhaps they feel he needs a run in the 2's.

[Triple B]

Woohoo...go Vespa

[Robbo]

Gee when was the last time we gave two guys their debut in the same game?

Great news. I'm stoked.

Latest article on Swans website would suggest no malceski, brabazon and crouch to play and no vesper.

Official Website of the Australian Football League > NEWS ARTICLE > Selection injection of run for Swans

No mention of Vesz, but plenty of Crouch and Brabazon which would suggest the final bench would be:

Int: Everitt Malceski Crouch Brabazon
Emg: Mathews Brennan Veszpremi

[Donners]

So I guess this means Everitt is still in.

[hammo]

As always, too much focus on shutting down the opposition and not on how we'll kick a winning score.

Our side is packed with taggers and guys who can't kick.

[ernie koala]

If after all this talk of more run, he still plays Mathews....then he has taken his now mandatory double speak to a new level....

Latest article on Swans website would suggest no malceski, brabazon and crouch to play and no vesper.

[ernie koala]

Just read an article, with Roos talking up Sydneys need for more run and suggesting both Crouch and Brabazon will play......so....who will fill the other 2 spots??? Everit and Mal(or Brennan if Mal is still inj)

LA, all I was doing was reflecting on this thread. The "multi - quote" button wouldn't allow me to put all of the negative comments in the one post about Crouch playing.

BTW, with all of the comments quoted, it wouldn't even let me quote your question about negativity as well as about twice as many comments as I have quoted in this post. You would also have noticed, that I haven't been of the mindset that due to poor current form, we are only making up the numbers in the finals race.

Fair enough, just interested.
