    Agreed, however, again, the point is, will mummy be back next week? the week after? If not, we either hope for Seaby to get up, or trial ruck combo, likely Pyke/white/lrt.

    Or we somehow 'improvise' lah de de lah de dum, chacha cha chacha

      Considering we have only 3 ruckmen on the list, hopefully one of Mummy or Seaby is available after this weekend. I don't consider LRT or Jesse or anyone else to be any more than a stop-gap option, so taking on anyone else other than the Suns with just Mike isn't really the best outcome.

      We used to have this really promising young ruckman about 10 years ago - Adam something-or-other..... Goodes - that's it.....I think he went on to bigger and better things in other positions... He's tall, could probably still jump a bit..... hmmmm....

        Hope is a wonderful thing, most professional afl teams prefer to prepare thoroughly rather than rely on hope though.

        Goodes won't ruck again, so the 'realistic' options are pyke, white & LRT (whether you regard them as stopgaps or not) With our other rucks (seaby & mummy) injured I suspect that is the combo they will trial.

          Reid? Our last good CHF(BBBH) used to often take the ruck in the F50. Sammy probably needs a bit more bulk though.

            I'm worried he would snap, Bruce Reid style!!

              Whatever happens, tonight's team announcement should confirm whether Jesse is gone, or if there is some flicker of hope. If he's not picked tonight, surely his Swans career is over...

                You forgot the

                See that would add the warm fuzzy's and by pass the need for a silly song. You can't argue logic with forum posters.

                Personally, I'm with you in that we will have a band aid ruck this week as Seaby is injured and Mummy is only a short term injury.

                PS. Added the warm fuzzy at the end.
                Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

                  No wonder some people don't bother with this site so much any more. Posting stuff that is either a direct attack on people that post here, or an indirect attack on those who would prefer to see a bit more decency shown on here, does absolutely nothing for those of us that like to use this forum for a good, intelligent and often fun forum about the team we all love so much.

                  I believe there were recent reminders on the rules that should be followed on this site. I would suggest that anyone that finds it too difficult to follow these guidelines on common decency should take whatever is bugging them elsewhere.

                    He was a fill in ruckman too!!! I'm sure Goodsie never seriously thought he would be playing ruck on an extended basis but due to circumstances at the time he had to. I am sure he is far happier now playing the role he does than having to jump all day over players between 5 & 9 inches taller than him.

                          Have you got some inside info Ugg? I got that Lukie one off the Swans website. Longmire did mention Jesse, TDL & Tony Armstrong in his press conference as players capable of coming in and doing a job.

                            I think Ugg's point was that the reserves are playing on the Gold Coast as well!

                              I heard (from the same place as Ugg, I think) that Moore will be on the plane.

                                What I think will happen:
                                Parker in as sub
                                Everitt full game

                                Hardly ground breaking

                                What I hope:

                                White in (in his home town)
                                Feed him plenty of the ball
                                Hopefully he kicks a few goals
                                Trade him to the GC at seasons end.

                                Unlikely... but it would be a coup.
