Changes V Hawthorn

[Plugger46]

No interest in seeing Ted but I recognise that there's a good chance he'll come in, given the potency of Hawthorn's forward line.

Anyone entertaining dropping Kennedy has got no idea.

[ScottH]

Change of attitude would be nice.

Could have been a lot worse.

[Plugger46]

Better news than I was expecting.

[MadCanuck]

Seldom any credibility in these estimates. From past experience it could be double that time, especially if the source of information is the Swans marketing department.

As Mummy will be resuming number one ruck duties maybe Pyke could drop into that hole in defense when he's not relieving Mummy . From all reports he was doing a good job as a defender in the reserves, and it would provide an oppurtunity for him to stand back and try to read the play as the ball comes in, as opposed to chasing it around in the Ruck. Yeah it could go horribly wrong but then again, with this bloke, anything could happen.

Love too see Pykey drop back and be groomed as a defender..as long as his disposal is by hand..i think he has the nous to be a good defender and spoiler.

But then again Andrew Dunkley had the worst disposal i had seen in a footballer in a long time. Maybe Pyke can base his style around dunks? Mark it and then handball to a running defender?

hmm knee injuries always take a bit longer..and as someone said the swans like to stretch the truth with their injury estimates.

[Captain]

White needs to be plonked at full forward for the next 2 weeks and be given a chance.

[Melbourne_Blood]

Aaaah Good Old Dunks. Safe hands, great spoil, punched up Hirdy in that prelim....... we could use another guy like that

[Plugger46]

White needs to be plonked at full forward for the next 2 weeks and be given a chance.

I'd do the same. His performance in the reserves isn't going to help him though.

[Kanga]

Could Bradshaw's known dodgy knee be the reason the Lions were keen to move him on? Is it that same knee perhaps?

[Robbo]

I heard he has a degenerative knee problem. Could mean there is bone on bone.

Club site says about the same -
Kennelly, Bradshaw add to woes - Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans Football Club - Kennelly at least 3 wks, Bradshaw at least 2 wks.

Maybe time to try Jesse where he looked happiest last year - in Bradshaw's position - and Shaw where he looked happiest last year - Kennelly's position.

Do we have any up-and-coming defenders to try out?
