      Unless LRT or Bradshaw have fully recovered then I think there should be no changes for the Geelong game.
      that how the playing and coaching group need to look at it i agree.
      Not sure about no changes, think the balance of the side is out a little especially down back, but unless we throw some young guys to the wolves theres probably no changes to make there.

      If rohan is right he should be in the side though.

      Lrt is right i hope, even if he just stands there will be more use than half the others are
      Theres not much left to say

        Time to move on and hopefully make the finals.
        And add to that, Melbourne IS NOT as good as they showed yesterday, we were just deplorable!

          Can't agree. The Dees were as good as they were against the Pies and that's probably better than any other team in the competition.

          Too bad that we were woeful, too. I got home a minute late and the game was over - it was like those first goals were kicked by Death Eaters that sucked all the life out of the Swans.

            Yep even Harrys Petronus couldn't have saved us yesterday...

              I'm predicting a massive improvement against Geelong for an honourable loss of a mere six goals.

                Well, I have been to a couple of dees games this year and im saying sure they have improved, but they are not as good as they showed yesterday, and certainly NOT 73 point better team than the swans! There was absolutely no pressure whatsoever from us, you do that against any team and you will get smashed.

                  Can I ask something? Does anyone know if Geelong will be full strength, close to full strength, or will they be missing some players/stars for this game? Anyone else notice that whenever we play Geelong, they are almost always full strength against us?

                    At least the percentage on the ladder is alot healther than Nth and Adelaide. If they keep it to a small loss against geelong that would be ok for the 8th position or a win - Time for Swans to prove September credentials

                    Like the Adelaide Crows showed two weeks ago, it only takes a champion effort across the park to unsettle a powerhouse like Geelong, and Sydney will need every drop of 'the bloods' spirit if they are to get their season back on track against the Cats.

                    With Paul Roos' men again confronted with adversity, one feels a win against Geelong this weekend would mean so much more than the four competition points on offer.

                      OUT: Richards. I never want to see him on the field again. Unless playing 'Against' us.
                      IN: someone else

                      Not sure about that, Geelong have had Ottens, Corey, Rooke, Chapman, Johnson, Scarlett umm yeah. and not just this year, pretty much all their dominant years they've used many different players, I think one reason why they've had such great depth. They've let those players fully recover in time for finals, unlike Sydney/Roos.

                          Its quite possible that Carlton, Sydney, North and Adelaide will all lose next week.

                            we need a good start this week, i will be happy if i see the side fired up to make amends this week and willing to take a risk, ill even wear another flogging if there some dare in our game and we take them on.

                            Not that i can do anything if we dont win, apart from cry

                                No I don't hate any of the players. From memory Roos promoted Nick Smith, Mathew O'Dwyer, Gary Rohan for the first games against the cats as well as promoting Ed Barlow for his one and only appearance this year. Maybe he might pick someone else e'g Sam Reid, Lewis Johnston??
                                Maybe it's his modis operandi as an introduction to the firsts.
