Tough? yes but Moore has to be accountable now.If like last year, he sprays a shot running into an open goal when a goal would win it he won't be picked again. IMO TD-L offers more than both Bevan and Moore because he can get goals many different ways. I think Ultimately he will win that FPocket spot.

Strong side and with ready made repalcements in Bevan, Smith and Rohan, along with Hannaberry, Vespremi etc to come soon if you don't perform straight away you will be out.
Should make for a more desperate team straight up.

Was thinking the same myself.
Ted's a good player but a tough call is going to have to be made.
Smith should be playing in that team. Who is playing on Milne?
Smith to BP > Shaw to midfield > Jetta to bench > Sorry Ted.
Moore very lucky IMHO. Why isn't TDL playing?The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

TDL was never in the frame for round 1, played half a practice game before being injured and was not overly impressive in the half a game he got.
In the end it came down to Moore, Bevan or Rohan as that small forward to put pressure on. Moore got the nod over Bevan and Rohan has been rested.
One thing is for sure, Moore will need to pull out a beauty as he is under fierce pressure from both Bevan and Rohan for his spot.
Smith is a hard one, will probably see someone like McGlynn/Jack get a combo deal on Milne so Smith was forced out.

The down side of Kennelly's return, Smith misses out.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Shaw on Milne.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Why is everyone assuming that Bradshaw will play? My crystal ball says he will not play and Bevan will replace him. Although I hope he does play.
Will just have to wait and see who plays in the reserves.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

Really unusual, rather than an 'impact player' we have two 'defenders', Richards and Mattner on the bench. The other Jack has been a tagger. Seems to be not sustainable given normally you would have an extra midfielder on the bench and a half forward running type
Wonder if that will cause a team imbalance, they will need to rectify in coming weeks? Too many fit defenders?You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

Bradshaw has stated strongly he's playing, so the selectors have given him the nod. Hope Rohan's family have not begun their marathon trek again, as it looks like he's being rested.
It should be a cracking game. heaps of talent in both teams.

I'd say unfairly misses out.
I give he and Grundy the kudos for turning what was looking like a shaky backline back into a rock solid defence. Specialist small defenders are required!...unless someone banned small forwards in the offseason. Would explain the inclusion of Moore
... Prove me wrong!

Jetta named in centre? His disposals had better be good. No 9 pointers now the season proper has started.
Let's not underestimate Ted's efforts in defence - an often underrated player. No superstar but solid (except for his 1 or 2 clangers per match). And he can play up forward, as can Mattner. These new guys had better be good to have Bevan and Smith not named. Always was a begrudging admirer of Bradshaw - hope he plays. Hope Jesse does well.
Go Swans, take care of yourselves and each other, win by a good margin so I don't have blood pressure problems in the final 5 minutes, please.Comment

Jetta article on eve of his debut. Like the bit about him trying to to show his excitement when it was confirmed he was going to play, compared to a quote from Roos in a different article that he was pretty subdued when told.
