Rd 2 Crows v Swans - Official teams named

[staple]

i LOVE the inclusion of Dan HanSolo! Plenty of run in the swans line-up, something we need against the crows. My tip is still adelaide, but if the swans can pull it together, they have the squad to throw the crow-monkey mutation of our backs.

Nathan Van Berlo has been omitted from the original Crows lineup, to be replaced by debutant Will Young.

One inclusion for the Crows I don't like is Burton. He always seems to play well against us.

He's underdone. As is porplyzia. Craig said on the news here he's taking a huge risk again playing underdone players. And with Van Berlo out n a debutant in this is our chance to make up for our record against the crows and take them to the cleaners.

I know what you're saying is logical, but Craig has included Burton for a reason, whether or not he's underdone.

That said, it's good that Van Berlo is out. And I'd just love to see us take the Crows to the cleaners in front of their home crowd.

Good selection decision Hanneberry for Richards, we need as many mid field rotations as we can against Adelaide at home.

I'll be there just hoping against hope that we win and if we could win comfortably that would give immense satisfaction amongst that precious Adelaide Cows crowd.

Fingers crossed XXXXXXXXXXXXX

We are going in with probably our strongest side against Adelaide for a while and conversely this will be their weakest for a long time.

If we are ever going to break the trend against them, it's this week.

There we go ... that's the spirit!!

Thanks for the clarification, ugg.

Any relation Mr Richards?

I remember it clearly because I thought Vogels was the better player in the same role (swingman) and I was arching for Vogels to get a game in front of Teddy. Vogels played 1 more game after that and then got the chop. Sums up my judgment

I've heard that before - specifically, Round 4 in 2007.

Unfortunately it didn't make any difference to the result. Hopefully it will this time.

Beware the wounded Crow! We will need to play at our very best to win.The Crows will be fanatical,the umpiring will be one sided,and their poor performers last week will play like champions.

Year 12 Muck up day stuff.

I remember that! I thought he was referring to something a bit more recent.

I remember that! I thought he was referring to something a bit more recent.

The eggs were muck-up day. But he also fractured his cheek bone when he fell after jumping a fence over the Christmas break. Don't think details were released to indicate whether it was purely an accident or whether he was doing something he shouldn't have been, but Roos' comments here suggest it could have been the latter.

Thanks, ugg I too was an enthusiastic supporter of Vogels, having watched with interest his later career in the reserves. Would have loved to have seen him develop further. I didn't really start appreciating Ted's contribution until 2007 and that had started as a bit of a joke with my best football buddy. Over time we came to realise what a good steady reliable player he was/is.

So, no relation to Ted, but have watched him for various reasons since the beginning of 2007, more so than most of the other players.

And I thought young Phillips was going to be the Swans equivalent of Akermanis.

Thanks, ugg And I thought young Phillips was going to be the Swans equivalent of Akermanis.

Flipper was just too light weight and although could get in and under, his potential for being smashed was too high. Can't remember which game but one of the opposition just picked him up around the waste and flung him aside. Literally. Can't afford that physically or gamewise. At least with Jetta he can outrun everyone, and he is stronger.
