Changes for Port Adelaide (Official teams named)

[ugg]

McGlynn and Moore played in the reserves, Kennelly an 'outside chance' to return according to Roos depending on how he pulled up at training. The best players in the reserves yesterday Sam Reid and Dylan McNeil aren't in serious contention, while there are a lot of players with senior experience waiting in the wings - O'Dwyer, Veszpremi, Thornton, Barlow, Meredith, Moore, Heath, Richards, McGlynn plus the mature-aged Dennis-Lane

Who will be the unlucky few to make way if any of these 3 do come in? While I don't subscribe to the theory that Jetta needs a 'rest' in the magoos, I do think he could lose his spot if McGlynn/Moore do come in given that he was part of the forwards group yesterday.

Bevan was alright yesterday but he's a fair way off our best 22. I guess Henry will survive until until Bradshaw comes back. Given that we have next week off, surely they won't risk Kennelly.

If McGlynn and Moore are ready to come back, I'd probably take Bevan and Jetta out.

IMO, out should be....
Playfair...he was back to his normal form yesterday, unsighted, absolutely no impact.
Bevo...kicked one nice goal but that was it.
Jetta...needs to kick some goals, and some goal assists, to get his confidence back...a couple of weeks in the 2's.
You'd think McGlynn and Kennelly will come back in if ready to go.
If not it would be nice to see 2 or 3 of these guys get a run....MOD, Vespa, TDL ,Johnstone and Moore
But as usual I know this won't happen, given the conservative selection policy of the Swans...especially after a win.

[Jewels]

I think they should err on the side of caution with Tiger and bring him back after the break.
At the aftermatch yesterday, Brad Seymour said that Bradshaw is still about six weeks away. I was quite disappointed as I was hoping we'd be back to something close to full strength when we face Collingwood and our forward line would have some cohesion about it.

** Two nice goals

This makes sense.

[Danzar]

I definitely agree Jetta needs a couple of weeks in the twos. He'll be able to apply what he's learnt under far less pressure and hopefully should come back with some confidence.

[Melbourne_Blood]

MOD was stiff to lose his spot after only one game. He should come back in for Bevo if none of the injured guys are ready. Bevo was surely only in because of the forecast weather.
Still can't understand why Vez can't get a game too. Maybe he should come in for a run so Jetta can get some goal kicking confidence in the two's. Let's face it Jetta out, on his recent form, really isn't going to hurt us that much.
I would love to see someone with a future at Sydney come in for Playfair. Why are we the only team who doesn't sometimes throw caution to the wind with young devleoping KPP's and give them a go in the ones ?
So wishful thinking ( if injured players dont get up) IN: MOD, Vez, LJ
OUT: Bevan, Jetta, Playfair
But likely ( If injured players don't get up) No Change

** Two nice goals

Indeed.

Bevo kicked a cracker from inside the square and then found space in the 50 to take a mark in the downpour before slotting it.

Was great stuff.

But haters gonna hate - and in this case even only give him credit for half the goals he scored!

6 weeks??? They had him listed as 1-2 weeks on the injury list.

I'd like to see us go with these ideas except that it might be useful to give Johnston a 2-3 week run in the firsts at CHF in place of Henry. I know Henry doesn't always give us a lot in that position, but he is structurally important, requires at least a second or third defender and can kick the odd goal. Surely Johnston could give that much for a couple of weeks and get some valuable experience in the process. I agree about Kennelly, especially when the week's break comes next.
I'd be sorry to see Jetta go, but he must be behind both McGlynn and Moore in the midfield-small forward role at this stage despite his speed.

I bet 6 weeks is closer - as I understand it this is the same injury and treatment as the pre-season knee which took 8 wks to recover from.

yeh but mcglynn was 2 weeks away about 5 rounds in a row

The real dilemma is once Bradshaw, Seaby, Craig Bolton, Kennelly, McGlynn and Moore come back, who goes? Obviously it probably won't be an issue as someone else will be injured, but an interesting conundrum all the same.

Bevan, Playfair, Pyke would all be definites. Then probably Jetta. Then who?

Not Smith hopefully... Am impressed by Smith
