This is not good.... hope its not serious or we're pretty screwed.

Didn't see Mumford out coming ... Guess this is Seaby's big chance! Would like to see Jetta start as sub to give Parker his first full run ... Excited to see Johnston as well - it's been a long time coming.

De-Mummyfied.

Seaby, Meredith, TDL, White, Sumner, Moore and Bevan will all be going to Newcastle (to play for the Reserves)

Sounds like the familiar Roos Dribble we copped over selection, talk it up then change the bare minimum.
Selecting LRT as a forward/ ruckmen has been a dud move, which hasn't worked, yet it seems they are persisting....All the while we have a talented natural ruckmen/ forward languishing in the 2's...very strange.
I also think to play LJ as a sub would be a another dud move, these new guys need a full game to settle into their work at the speed and intensity required.

Geez mummy out is a huge blow...so we've replaced everitt with a debut and seaby comes in for mummy, how are we gonna kick a winning score??? Surely TDL, White and to a lesser extent Bevan (as a forward) should of also been brought in (at least one of them anyway). LRT named at CHF? What is going on? I can see a loss here because of selection.

Now i'm really pissed. The way the club has handled Mummy this season is nothing short of gross negligence. We could all see this coming, it wasn't rocket science.

The published team bears no reality to where players will actually play remember. LRT will probably rest a bit in the forward line and also in teh backline but mostly it will be Goodes and Reid as our forward KPPs.

Swans site says Mumford has a sore knee and apparently will only miss a week.

So the real test of the selectors will come next week when Seaby and Mumford will (apparently) both be available. I hope Seaby plays a blinder - I suspect he'll need to.

Todd Balym tweeted that Mumford has PCL soreness, could be more than 1 week.

Totally agree and said as much weeks ago that this will be inevitable! So frustrating when it was so avoidable with two good ruckmen in the twos. Player welfare neglect!

[BSA5]

What I don't like is the fact that we've got a player who has won a Brownlow as a super-versatile second ruckman, in a season where rule changes have made super-versatile second ruckmen extremely valuable, and it has been a number of years since changes to the centre-circle have greatly reduced the likelihood of injuries of the type that first prompted our super-versatile, Brownlow-winning second ruckman to another role.

[lwjoyner]

agree with these comments, how could the selectors not see the need to give support to Mummy, hope they havent hurt him for longer. Why o why wasnt Seaby played when Pyke went down. Its a worry for Saturday.

[Lucky Knickers]

Well done for Lewis Johnson. Cool young customer too based off his video.
Shame about Mummy but I'm not feeling dark about him playing solo. Wouldn't matter if we had 5 relief ruckman to back him up off the bench. It just takes 1 twinge and the guys' natural game is kamikaze.
Looking forward to this game on Saturday to see what this team are made of. If LJ is playing forward I hope the midfield can bring some foot skills with accurate delivery so he can kick a goal or ten.
