Changes V Hawthorn

[RogueSwan]

It would be a pity if a forward like TDL can't get a gig with the forward line being in such a mess the problem is it's being used as a dumping ground for our over abundance of one paced midfielders

McVeigh needs to play/rest forward a bit more. Last year he was averaging about a goal a game, this year about 1 goal every 3 games. It is not as though he is getting anymore possession. I think his average is up one pos/game.

Swans hope key role will rejuvenate White - AFL.com.au

Looks like it's going to be White, MOD, Pyke. Doesn't mention TDL's name.

Probably Heath or Teddy for the last spot.

Almost have too many talls for this game with Mummy, Pyke, White and Playfair. Would like to see Playfair given a break but there's no way that will happen

Jesse is back in, Matty' O Dwyer is getting a game. It also seems that Pyke is gonna stay in as back up ruck. So that leaves one spot open on the bench. Roos has confirmed that that bevo is out the side. So TDL, Heath or Richards will get the last spot. Which i think will go to a defender.

Could have been worse. White may do better if he's given the main responsibility and told to go hard at the ball and not hang back.

Given the way they've talked up Heath's efforts last week, and on the Swans' website today Maxfield talks about how Heath will need to pick up Kennelly's role, I suspect they will go with Heath. By bringing White into the side, there is some tall cover in case either LRT or Reg gets injured. Don't think Ted is tall or agile enough to play on either of these two anyway. Marty should be able to fill the role of standing in any holes in front of Roughhead or Franklin.

2 out of 3 ain't bad - would have liked to have seen TDL get a game, but White and MOD are good ins. Playfair should also be dropped.

I'd say Heath will stay in.

[Peace]

yeah drop playfair! he might kick THREE goals this week!!!

He might.

[Peace]

If he does kick three or more i will personally write to roos threatening to tear up my membership unless he be dropped.

[Captain]

So looks like Bevan is out which is good!

If both Pyke and Mummy play, Pyke could do much of the ruck work, freeing up Mummy to advantage elsewhere on the field. (But I could be biased - Mummy seems to have acquired near deity status in my football consciousness and I'm not sure why.)

It's because he has supernatural powers. I see what looks like a small agile ball getter, diving into packs, hand balling out - and as he's running at lightning speed, I say, "Who's That?" And then he appears to morph into this huge 200 cm, 102 kg elite ruckman

[Melbourne_Blood]

That's why he's so great. And he's got plenty of improvement left in him. I'd love to see him have a field day along with a bunch of our youngsters against the hawks, and wake up on Monday morning to the Headline
" MUMFORD AND SONS DESTROY HAWKS".
