Im in awe. How come White is not in. Its a joke. Ablett playing, FFS we don't need anymore mid fielders, let alone Ablett.

Puzzling to say the least.....

Saying it's an understatement to say it's puzzling would be an understatement. Ablett was so pedestrian in the reserves last week. FFS.

[Chilcott]

I have come to expect this from the selectors.

Drop a kid with some 'upside' for a veteran who provides little.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Wow, amazing. I really question Roos sometimes, Ablett over White when we have no one up forward? Just mind boggling.

[10Totti10]

Late change u would think. Good to see McVeigh playing but Ablett in is a joke. Probably one of our worst kickers besides bucchanan.

So long as there is a sniff of making the finals they'll go with the more experienced players.

Unbelievable. 8 goals not good enough to get a gig in a Barry hall less forward line? Make sure you kick 16 jesse cause 8 is simply not good enough

Wtf?

To be fair, reading the reports he should have kicked 12.

Short term loss for long term gain IMHO. White can't think he gets the position by default. He has to earn it.

Could easily replace White's name with Ablett.

Maybe Jesse plays too rough for the ashram? Crouch still in for O'Keefe or O'Dwyer and Ablett for Brabazon. Rubbish.

Seriously? 8 goals is not earning it? Gee...

That is not being fair at all mate.

NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!

Roos and co have been sprucing all week that white will be the one to fill Bazza's shoes, this however become increasingly difficult if he doesn't get a game. 8 goals in the 2's not enough if your a young player! Really rubbish selection and im not usually a roos knocker i love the man but no white is crazy!

The other infuriating element is the inclusion on Ablett how does this guy keep getting a game he is no good when he plays in the afl and average in the reserves. i honestly think there must be a there must be some man love, secret affair, money exchanging hands or some sort possibly criminal corruption going on. It defies belief that ablett is in over white. Ablett is a burden to swans society. Maybe we need a no ablett petition.

[Bloody Hell]

Could easily replace White's name with Ablett.

Bit different. Young up and comer vs someone on the downhill slide.
