With the team listed and the above midfield named.......... it just makes you wonder can we be competitive with the above 6.

Competitive Yes !

Dominant No !

Geese I am dieing for Jack to be back..............when Goodes, Kennedy and Jack are not named in the midfield it just sends shivers down my spine !

thank god for rotations !

BUT I do like our Forward selection if we are playing a flood forward defence...............the 6 forwards named this week should be able to jam the ball in the opposition half ! if they cant....... well no body can at the Swans !

Hopefully LJ will free Goodes to play more in the middle - though his disposal efficiency is so poor that it may be a mixed blessing. At least Shaw wouldn't give goals away quite as directly as last week.


I was watching a game from 1987 last week - Williams, Mitchell, Healy, Murphy and Bolton in the middle, with Carroll, Neagle, Wright, Browning and Hawke rotating through. Would love just one of those to be in the current side.

They didn't win a premiership until 05 with players of much lesser comaparable skill.

We need a stickied thread saying 'do not pay attention to the team sheets'.

Kennedy will be in the middle. So will Dan. Goodes will come in at times. Macca will come in. Macca will not be playing as a full forward you can be sure of that. Never pay attention to a Sydney Swans team listing.

Do we have the slowest Midfield in the game? We and North seem to have no pace in there whatsoever.

I wouldn't exactly call Harvey slow, old yes, slow no

[ABloodsMan]

Harvey........>>>............Ziebull, Bastinac, Cunnington, Greenwood, Swallow.
Fast..............................Slow

[Peace]

i dont even know why they have the field placement sheets theese days, they are 80% false.

Of course; culture, team mix, coaching and injuries all come into it as well. That's why I said I'd like one of them to be in the current side...

[Auntie.Gerald]

either way it doesnt matter !!!!!!

our midfield is as slow as wine maturing in a barrel !

Hence our desperation chasing Sherman for this season !

433pm and Okeefe just bombs it when he had plenty of time from the pack !
