Probably Membrey or Towers. Ugg, Jude hasn't played well in either wet game this year. It is about what is happening now not what happened in the dark ages LOL. Jude has got 11, 12 & 16 in the wet so far for 1.1. He started the season really in hot form but has tapered off at this stage Ugg. He hasn't had any influence on the outcome of any wet game this year so far.Comment

Not much good for those of us who work in the city but had a decent chance of leaving work at 3.30pmish to get to the SCG. No way I can get away in time to make the trek out to Blacktown for 2pm.Comment

I think if the weather is fairly good I will make the trek out to Blacktown. The only problem I have is getting from the station to Blacktown Sports Park. I will look it up on line.Comment

Just take a really loooooooong lunch that somehow segues into early Friday drinks. Done.Comment

Jude's not having the impact he used to, IMO, sub could be just the right move for him at this stage.
He has the smarts to have a real impact in the late stages. And if required early, due to an injury, that would be no problem for him.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Given none of our injuries are to Jude type players....I think he should be sub...It's not a total demotion, it's a new role, just ask Gia at the Doggies.

I was thinking how a fresh Jude Bolton could have influenced the game against Port, coming on in the 4th qtr when the game was on the line. I think there is great value in bringing in an experienced player who knows what it takes to make an impact on a game. It's a big responsibility to give to a young inexperienced player like a Jed Lamb.
How often do you see a high profile soccer player subbed late into the game only to score the winning goal. The use of the substitute will evolve and the way the Dogs have used Gia is the way I think it is heading.Comment

Are we confident we should win despite our injury toll? Or is our injury toll not as relevant to winning this match as our attitude and gameplan? I was dreading the Collingwood - Essendon - Crows stretch, and look what happened. I am hoping that the same result ensues.
Does B. Jack get a run in the wet if Jetta doesn't pull up? Wouldn't have thought we desperately needed another full time forward to cover Goodes, given the forward line hasn't been the problem, plus we have midfield firepower. Bit of run on a heavy track?

We control their small forwards by controlling the ball. But that is the worry. Are we good enough without goodes and mummy to beat a pretty decent midfield so comprehensively ? And won't chaos kicks forwards be a real problem. ?
I wonder whether we should actually be outsiders in this gameComment

Thanks for that stat. Reassuring.
Can you tell me when the last time was that the Swans won against a Malthouse-coached team and what the record shows for the last 10 games or so (too lazy to look myself)?

Collingwood did, and still does, have a much better list than Carlton."Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

Nevertheless, I believe the Port game was an abomination and that, even with a long list of outs, we should be able to account for Carlton at home tomorrow night.
Selections will be interesting.
I'd like to see BJ in for Goodes (as sub with Lamb taking Goodes' role). Everitt in for Armstrong (Membrey if Dre unfit).
Maybe even (as suggested elsewhere) Jack to start with Bolton on the bench (but I doubt it).
I hope Chops gets a full game.
