Unless there are prearranged shenanigans I sure as help they're not using him just as traveling emergency.

As for the other two jetta is playing but no TDL

[Bas]

Now Now Children

Sorry.

I think Jesse will play tomorrow, they wouldn't waste him as an emergency. The question is who is out? Is Mattner's injury being rated on the Bradshaw sliding scale of injury diagnosis or did someone cop a hit during training?

Hmmmmmmmmm............. I reckon he's in.

And nice brain oddity there for me by thinking "hell hope" and typing "help"!

Ahhh, you'd already pointed it out! I reckon he's in. I'll go out on a limb and say LRT has injured his buttocks, Teddy will cover him and Jesse will cover Teddy.

It's Rhys, he's refusing tp play after what some nasty people have posted about him. I wonder why TDL was left out of the reserves as well. Has Bevan joined him?

After what Roos has said about Jesse needing another good game in the ressies, he is either injured or there's snakes and ladders, oh not our finals position, I mean smoke and mirrors being played out.

Did anyone catch Roos on BTG tonight?. I missed it on ONE HD if it was on but have set IQ for 1 am tomorrow when it is replayed.

Nice touch at the end. They had arranged a banner saying: "Paul Roos 550 games" and all ran through it to finish.

Either that or Ted himself. If it was a smaller player then TDL would have come in.

Well Teddy certainly did come off in the last quarter looking very, very sore.

I am really disappointed in the team selection. As a supporter, to be frank, win or lose I would be excited to go to Etihad and watch TDL, Rohan, Jetta Vez, LJ etc, anything to hang your hat on that we are going to be a better team next year. I know it's a long season, but Bevan over TDL just flummoxes me, we're drifting and it seems pointless, when getting some of the young guys up to speed at AFL level would be really handy

Whereas watching our older bunch be competitive in the first half, only to run out of legs in the second is pretty uninspiring. In the future we will no doubt regret we did not give many of the younger guys more experience. It's really short term thinking and pretty uninspiring stuff

I note that the average age of our side today is 26, against Carlton's 23

I feel the same as you but many supporters seem to think we will get thrashed by 100 points if we play the kids. Thank goodness that Smith and Meredith got their chances and kept their spot.Vez did enough too I thought to warrant more than one game. TDL was starting to look more comfortable but didn't do enough in his 2game stint. He was worth trying for a 3rd game otherwise,why did we recruit him? At least Jetta and Rohan have made their mark.We have Hanners and Bird as well. Selection policy ,like game plan is conservative however these young guys are forcing their way in.Under this conservative policy we will make the finals ,give Roosey and Kirk a big send off and then create a new Swans team in 2011.
Not too bad an outcome but hardly exciting.

[Number 43]

What could be more exciting than playing finals?

[dimelb]

I just hope they play as if the season is on the line. If they lose then, OK, that's where we are and we have to accept reality. Just let's not have any more of the insipid and careless stuff that saw us go down to Richmond and Hawthorn.
