Teams V Pies

[UglyDuckling]

Its a real tough one for selectors this week

Will Bradshaw be fit?

Who will shaw replace?

Does Jetta come back after a rest?

Will vez hold his spot?

To refrersh our memories from two weeks ago

B: Bevan, Roberts-Thomson, Smith
HB: Mattner, Grundy, Kennelly
C: Malceski, Kirk, Rohan
HF: O?Keefe, Goodes, Kennedy
F: Hannebery, White, Jack
FOLL: Mumford, J.Bolton, McVeigh
Interchange:Vezpremi, Bird, McGlynn, Pyke

Changes
In: Shaw, Bradshaw

Out: Beavan, ?????????

Its too hard to pick a 22 already not wanting to leave rohan, vez, jetta or smith out imagine how hard it will be when seabs and bolts are back

[Donners]

White would be the other obvious candidate to be dropped, particularly with Bradshaw coming in.

Cute banner on the Swans' site. Shaw in red and white, Jolly in B&W

[Swanner]

B - Mattner, LRT, Malceski
HB - Kennelly, Grundy, Shaw
C - McVeigh, Bolton, Hannebury
HF - McGlynn, Goodes, O'Keefe
F - Rohan, Bradshaw, White

Ruck - Mumford, Jack, Kirk

I/C - Pyke, Jetta, Smith, Bird

The bench is a bit small but my memory of Collingwood is they are not the biggest team running around. We can always swap White for a small foward and send him back or move Pyke back and put White into the ruck. Really we are so close to our best 22 there are no excuses. Obviously Seaby in for Pyke and C. Bolton probably ultimately pushes a small out, probably Smith or Jetta. Both unlucky and still no room for Bevan, Richards, Vez, LJ or Barlow. This really is the nucleus of a Premiership team - just need an extra bit of class up through the middle, which could come through Rohan, Jetta, Hannebury holding their form at the top of the game rather than in fits and spurts as is the case with most young players.

I can see 2 out of the following 4 people being rested.

White (has been rubbish and braddy is coming back in, mcglynn will be staying put too)
Rohan (didnt get a whole lot of the ball last week)
Bevan (well, someone has to come out for shaw)
Vezpremi (got more of the ball than rohan but lacked in his defensive side)

Peace

Whatever team is put on the park (and with bradshaw in of course), this is our best chance of beating them in the last 5 years IMHO, especially if maxwell is out for them.

Careful.....better put your flame suit on sayin things like that......

Why? Because someone might point out the obvious - that Braddy won't be around in three years from now and if we want to win games it'd be handy to have a tall forward.

I wonder if West Coast regret resting the young Cox when he was crap (or Nick Nat after the past few weeks)?

But you may feel there's no point playing a kid running hot and cold merely because he's a vital part of our best forward configuration, one that worked very well earlier this season but fell apart when our full forward was injured?

See....told you so....Oh and when did he actually run hot this year?

[Go Swannies]

See....told you so....

I didn't want to disappoint.

[aardvark]

LOL.... i wasn't going to get sucked in to White discussions again but you got me ....well done.

[ernie koala]

With Maxwell unlikely to play, and Bradshaw back in, it's a good opportunity for White to find some form against a lesser opponent, and it will stretch the Wobbles for height down back.
I'm guessing ...IN: Bradshaw, Shaw OUT: Bevan, Vespa

[UglyDuckling]

Round 10 and 11 he kicked 3 goals a piece, stepping up for us with Bradshaw out injured

[Peace]

i'd call that luke warm compared to his form at the end of last year....
