    I am confused - who is he related to? It all seems a bit harsh - the poor bugger is yet to play a single game and is being labelled a dud - but then again I have not seen him play - I suppose I will just have to put my faith in the opinions of the coach, the match committee, and our captains.

      Agree on the Playfair notes, istnt up to AFL anymore if he was at all when he was dumped by the Cats. Ridiculous call to play him last week and even more ridiculous to keep him in this week, maybe thw call on White is Ok but he probably should have been given this week for Playfair and if he doent perform swap him for Mummy next week. Roos playing favorites again.

        Bolton is young Heath's mentor - they like his attitude, therefore he is part of the Swans family!!! He may turn out to be a superstar and I hope he will, but on what I have seen this year I am far from being convinced. ATM there are better players and selection options available.

          Not allowed around here... we all know better than the match committee.

            white does need a run in the ressies, but i think he is a better ruck option than pyke. Bevan keeping his spot with no mcglynn in doesnt bother me that much, but id prefer vespa.

            Unsure why heath ahead of vespa and odwyer but least hes young.

            Playfair must be going to have a run in the ruck????? or we are conceding the ruck? its an odd team this week

            wheres mcglynn?
            Theres not much left to say

              I appreciate that's your new thing, but if we aren't going to discuss our opinions then a discussion board is a bit redundant.
              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                Opinions are fine - What I'm reading from some is sledging and not reasoned argument. I'm not sure what the problem is with voicing an opinion but conceding that maybe the match committee may know more about our players then we do. My opinion is that White should play instead of Playfair but trust Roos and co that they know what's best for White.

                    2 things.

                    1) Don't understand why White was dropped. Leaves us shorthanded in the ruck.
                    2) When is Ben Mcglynn back? I didn't think he was that badly injured.
                    Red & White forever.

                        I wonder if LRT is going to pinch-hit in the ruck this weekend at some point.

                        I would imagine that Sandilands will go forward a bit to stretch our defence as well (has he been spending much time on the bench?) - in which case I would expect that Pyke would need to follow him down. This will be an interesting match to follow.

                            This is the part I am most worried about

                              We are officially favourites for this game.

                                Playfair still in, White out. Glad the selection committee and I agree on something.
