Changes for Rnd 5 v Hawks

[Untamed Snark]

Agree that we should play LRT and White, this week and going forward.

Who to drop though??

I would guess
Rohan for Goodes
Armstrong for Smith
Everitt for LRT

None of the boys that played last week deserve to be dropped on form but my guess is if they want LRT as well as Jesse them Incy has to go.
Bit hard on Armstrong but he showed last Sunday that with a bit more fitness behiund him he will take his opponents apart.

Yep that's the only way I can see it. Harsh on Armstrong and Everitt but they will get plenty of more chances.

One of LRT and White for me. Play the same role, backline's travelling fine so we don't need LRT down there (might do against the Eagles).

LRT the better competitor but White played alright last week so I'd leave it for this week.

Agree. With his effort shown last week, there is more than a glimmer of hope for Jesse. He must play again. If Smith is right, he is in our best 22 and should play. From the listed interchange bench, you'd have to say LRT and Humpty Dumpty are also Top 22. So who's the sub?

[chalbilto]

Can Everitt (if not injured) be dropped seeing he was selected in the starting line-up? I am not sure what the rule is.

[ugg]

You can but it's a very rare occurrence

[Doctor]

Everitt will play. Walsh, Armstrong and either LRT or White will drop out. Not saying it's what I want, just what I think will happen.

The Cortisone would not cause the infection but in stopping inflammation Cortisone lowers the immune system. People can have an immuno reaction to it. The other thing to remember is that in giving an injection during a game the conditions are not ideal. There is the possibility of dirt from the jumper or perspiration mixed with soil entering the injection site. Cortisone itself would not cause an infection but combined with these conditions it may be a contributing factor. How do I know this? I have lived for 25 years with a life threatening illness that affects the immune system. In that time I have been given anti-inflammatories and ended up in hospital with pneumonia due to a compromised immune system.

No way would he have been given an injection in the back at a football ground. It would have been at a radiology practice or hospital under imaging and in sterile conditions. Doctors, even cowboy sports doctors, have great respect for the spinal cord and nerve roots, which are really close to the facet joint. The club's information is a bit hard to make sense of. The only operations for removing an infection are drainage of an abscess/collection or removing infected material (tissue or foreign body). Hard to see how these apply in relation to a facet joint injection.

It'll probably just be Rohan for Goodes and Armstrong for Smith. Maybe Everitt for LRT

On the Swans mobile site they are naming the Emergencies as Smith, White and Walsh with the IC being Parker, Hanners, Armstrong and LRT.

I'd believe Ugg before I believed an official site.

We've been thru this multiple times. That is just a listing in alphabetical order (although as pointed out, they still managed to get Walsh/White wrong). Take no note of the the bench for a Sunday game until late on a Friday.

Pretty rough on White. Rather see him stay than Everitt.
