"SYDNEY SWANS
Ruckman Shane Mumford will return from suspension against Hawthorn but Daniel Bradshaw and Tadhg Kennelly go out with knee injuries. Ben McGlynn (quad) looks likely to return through the reserves if fit, having missed five weeks. Matt O'Dwyer (54 touches), Trent Dennis-Lane (seven goals) and Pat Veszpremi head the queue of hopefuls, but Jesse White will need to do more after a quiet game for the reserves against Belconnen."
gives a good indication of what we realistically have to choose from
i'd assume mumford and mcglynn or TDL
Yes well 54 touches hardly sounds like anything near enough to be considered for a spot in a side that is struggling to win matches. Rack up 78, 83, 94 possessions in the coming weeks and you might get a look in MOD.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

He must have been playing against North Melbourne to rack up that many touches!Comment

have you noticed that we haven't scored over 70 points in the last 3 games.... we don't need touches, we need goals.Comment

Can't kick goals if we cant get the ball. But your right we created enough inside 50's last week we just had to work way too hard for very little reward on the scoreboard compared to Freo, with their instant replies everytime we pegged one backComment

i think with mumford back it should help our current midfield find the pill a lot more but its our forward line that is in trouble.... no bradshaw and it looks unlikely that white will be selected. so player/s to come back in with mummy should be mcglynn if fit and or TDL/VespremiComment

Our forward line for the moment looks like Playfair, Goodes, Bevan and some Rohan, with others rotating through. I don't think the Hawks backline is going to lose much sleep if thats the case. But you never know, it could be Henry's time to shine!
If Jesse is out of favour for the moment and McGlynn comes back through the ressies, it would be great to see TDL or even Lewis Johnston given a go, but if both Campbell Heath and Pyke stay in, the bench would be stacked with newbies or near newbies. Is it time to live dangerously or should Teddy get a recall!Comment

Particularly considering that his games in the firsts at the end of last season and in the preseason were all pretty impressive. Despite everyone saying his disposal is not that impressive that hasnt been the case so far when he has played in the firsts. It would be almost unfair not to give him another go in the firsts particularly as we really are lacking an outside midfielder at the moment .Comment

I would love to think Roos and co might decide to "live dangerously" given the lack of form and inability to kick a score against good opposition...But it won't happen. History shows that over the last 3 seasons, (except for a few games at the end of last season) every time our team starts going badly, Roos gets even more conservative and defensive both with gameplan and selections. I suspect this trend will continue until there is no chance of finals, or injury forces his hand. An example of this was that neither Bevan or Playfair were picked on form, they were conservative picks where Roos knows what he's getting, and he knows they will fit into his conservative defensive gameplanWhenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect...
