Changes for next week.

As long as we don't see Ed and Ted again, I'm not too fussed.

Richards had a terrible game, but people quickly forget how well he played against Brisbane the week before. He, like Barlow, are a little mentally fragile when under siege and Kardina Park is the absolutely worse place for these kinds of players - it's downright hostile.

I hate excuses like this. People have been offering up the same ones for Turnover Ted since he arrived at the club. He's not good enough to play on the best forwards, not a KPP and yesterday showed he was too slow. The fact the J-Pod kept getting onto his left to snap goals was also damning of our defenders' footy smarts including Ted.
The fact Ted's best position is playing as a loose man in defence doesn't reflect well on his abilities or his future at the club. If we have the luxury of playing a loose man it should be someone who uses the ball infinitely better than Ted.

Unfortunately all true. We got the best out of an average player from Essendon. (past tense)

You need to remember that this is Jetta's first year in the AFL system and will take time for his body to develop. It is great to see a Swans' player show some flare! I hope he never loses that or his colourful boots!

I know he could sometimes be described as being on fire, but I think you mean you like to see his flair, not flare - but with the red boots, maybe that's just how it looks at full speed! ;-)

I love his boots. Plus I can just scream "On ya, Boots!" whenever he gets a good run down the wing.

While it will be great to see LRT back, the last few times we've played the Dogs he's had no match up and has been as useful as boobs on the proverbial. May be different with B2 out and BBBH in for the Dogs, but hopefully selectors get the match ups right this time.

Anyone who say Nick Smith should be dropped does not know a thing about AFL football and obviously did not watch yesterdays game very closely. The boy has done nothing wrong since his debut for the club.

Out's would have to be: Barlow(definately), Richards and Jetta(maybe's)
In's: LRT, Hanners and Mcglynn.

At the end of last year I stood up and said that if I were in charge I would actually de-list Teddy....got howled down, didn't I....mmmmm

LRT comes in for Richards
McGlynn comes in for Barlow
Hanners comes in for Rohan

No rocket science there.

There is an obvious "in" on form for this week...which I missed in my list of possible KP reserves...surely Henry Playfair is gonna be better at CHB than Teddy...then we don't have to worry about his dodgy kicking for goal! Played at CHB for the reserves at the weekend and in the best so......
