Swans team vs. Saints

[alison.z]

Team:
Bolton, C., Roberts-Thomson, Mattner
Shaw, Grundy, Jack
McVeigh, Kirk, Crouch
O?Keefe, R., Richards, Ablett
Bevan, Hall, Moore
Jolly, Goodes, Bolton
Interchange: Bird, Buchanan, Malceski, White
Emergency: Barlow, O?Dwyer, Pyke

Nothing new or interesting i think ...

[Mountain Man]

Malceski on the bench is a a bit surprising.

All of Crouch Ablett and Buchanan are a bit disappointing.

[Robbo]

I hope they aren't serious about playing Grundy at CHB and Teddy at CHF.

Good side other than that.

[ShockOfHair]

Teddy at CHF and Grundy replacing him in the backline - that's pretty interesting.

If Grundy was ever going to be given a chance up forward, I would've thought now was the time.

why worry they never play in selected positions

[Jeffers1984]

Here is the Aints team

St Kilda

All pretty predictable, but the addition of a bloke who has played about 3 games in his life as an emergency must surely count as both 'new' and 'interesting'.

True - selected positions count for very little with Roosy.

I'd like to see Grundy up forward - I think thats where he belongs, and Teddy certainly belongs down back. It will be interesting to see how Ablett and Crouch go - good luck to them. Hopefully they go ok and we get a win - ugly will be just fine too.

I think Jesse White is the smart choice for 2nd ruck at this stage too.

Just hope Vespa can make it back soon....

[Young Blood]

Yawn.

Would have been good to see another youngster in the team ahead of Ablett.

Has Crouch played many of the pre-season games?

Has Crouch played many of the pre-season games?

Only the ones that didn't count (i.e. all bar the NAB Cup)

How's he gone? I honestly don't remember spotting his name for any of them (I haven't seen a single pre-season game this year bar the NAB cup one).

I should say I don't mind his inclusion, I admit I wasn't happy about his return to the team late last year but he proved me wrong (I thought he was done) and I thought he was actually really good.

[ugg]

His DT scores were 39 45 33 for an average of 39.

Which is about 2/3rds on the way down on the list of the Swans.

[Donners]

Argh, I've got Barlow in my Super Coach team.

[Legs Akimbo]

Crouch's selection grates. I had hoped some things had changed that have clearly not changed.
