Changes for round 9 vs Saints

[wolftone57]

The umpires. Today's lot were hopeless.

I agree Erica they were terrible! Allowed the scrimmages to go far too long. Picked out frees for the sake of it to Melbourne I think they felt sorry for them. We had a roll on and they kept bringing the ball back and telling us to take it from FB at one stage. That was baffling umpiring as the player had kicked over the mark etc!

+1

As the game went on the forward line started to gel. It's a work in progress no doubt but it's exciting just the same.

I agree and with plenty of tall options up there it takes the pressure off Sammy as their players now have to match up on a forward. With TDL, Tommy, Pykie & LRT all playing through that area it was super. Add the crumbing mids/forwards and we had gold yesterday. This forward line could be very potent and add the mids who kick goals & the WOW factor is ther

No change!

The only difficulty I see next week is deciding on the sub. There is always the possibility that Jude or one of teh old blokes will get a rest as sub one week, no ressies next week apparently so they need to keep Bird's match fitness up. Creates a conundrum

I think even someone who wasn't that great would feel pretty stiff to get dropped after a 100 point win, you'd assume there'll be no changes unless an unexpected injury (or recovery for Mummy/Goodes).

That's the way I see it.
Or a particular match up they want.

I would suggest being over cautious about bringing Spangs back into the seniors. He seems to have spent half his football life with injuries of one kind or another, and make that about 75% of his time at the Swans. A few weeks in the 2's to get his match conditioning right up there wouldn't hurt, as with Mitchell. Meanwhile Tommy can find his feet (up the yard somewhere) and develop a bit of synergy with Reidy.

It's official, RWOers vote for no change and what would expect now the stupid match committe have finallypromoted who we've wanted in all season - TDL, Pyke, Walsh :-)

[johnno]

Mumford(if fit) for someone....dont know who, but I dont want to see Pike dropped as he played a good game.

[Dogzbody]

No Change. Aints coming off WC hangover also. I think we are a better than even chance as we have multiple forward targets with this setup.

[BeeEmmAre]

What's Mitch kicked? 30 odd in four weeks? You'd think he's done enough to get a look in for Reid, who has only kicked one in that time. That'd be the only change to consider.

[Big Al]

Reid was part of a forward line that worked together to kick 23 goals on the weekend. Also why would you drop a guy who in the 2nd half was starting to get his mojo back.

[GongSwan]

Saints have lost a ruckman too, so by rights we should get there with the team we have

[Untamed Snark]

No change I hope, it will be interesting when Mummy, Goodes and Spang are ready to come back,

[longmile]

Good to see a well functioning and oiled team, albeit to a very lacklustre opponent. It'll be interesting to see how we pull up next week against a competitive side and then make a full assessment. I'd say no changes, as I think this is our best 22, bar mumford and goodes, who I'm struggling to see who they'd drop for them.
