Swans vs. Magpies

[ShockOfHair]

Eddie actually did the cause of tolerance a favour by putting his foot in his mouth so spectacularly and having to publicly beg forgiveness. Plus he should get points for doing the right thing on the night.

Lamb is very stiff.

I assume Longmire thinks Jack can have more impact with his speed as a sub off the bench.

Agree with both comments. Jack's pace, particularly in the absence of Jetta, does seem to appeal to the coaches.

One of the 'problems' with being a good side is that high quality players miss out.

Very surprised with Lamb's omission.

This seems right. Better for Lamb to get a game in the 2s than a few minutes off the bench. Maybe Rohan get the vest from BJ next week.

I hope Ben has gotten the silly free kicks out of game - love his pressure but not the dumb plays - Lamb has shown us the future if he stays - lets see how McGlynn responds

That was the best-timed hamstring injury of 2013.

Im a bit surprised, but I think that is a decent indicator of a) them wanting to keep the additional midfielder in the team (rather than an additional forward with McGlynn and Lamb) and B) Rohan might be closer than we think.

depends what grade the tear is.
They said from day 1 it was a 3 week injury.

BTW, i'm surprised not to have seen "Lamb Chopped" anywhere.

Lol.

Sorry Shock of Hair don't believe in tolerance, believe in acceptance. If people are just tolerated it doesn't say much for our society, if we accept people for who they are it says reams.

A bit sad for Lambie. I was a bit shocked as I thought BJ would probably go out this week as he has been sub.

he didn't pull a hammy he only had hammy soreness. In other words he got a knock to the hamstring area.

[Mountain Man]

Collingwood unchanged from last week, so no Jolly.
Mumford and Pyke should therefore ensure enough ball for us from clearences. White and Tippett plus a ruckman going forward should mean Reid is needed in defence so Cloke and Lynch mainly up forward.

[DamY]

Bucks has said that due to Keeffe's form Reid will be up forward, and he was glowing of the Reid/Cloke combo.

[crackedactor]

good point

Good point made. I think they can not afford the luxury of having Reid up Forward. Cloke will be a problem as he usually plays well against us and Richards and Grundy's form has been average this year. Thought Lamb's axing was very unlucky and I feel he could be a gun player later on in his career. But I suppose the usual suspects of White and Everitt keep on earning their spots, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE.
