Changes Round 23 V Hawks

[MightyBloods]

I'm guessing Jetta and LRT didn't quite come up, otherwise I'm sure Horse would have played them. There wouldn't have been much point making more changes IMO, the Swans have never been big on resting players and this proves it, given three of the changes were forced by injury, though it would have been nice to see Morton in. There aren't that many more we could have brought in. Here's hoping Smith's and Hannebery's injuries only keep them out for this week.

You have to consider Freo's opposition this week vs. ours, also. I would say it's more important for the guys who are in the team to play themselves back into some form ahead of the finals.

Agree. Initially I thought we should have done what Freo did but then you have to put faith in the coaching staff to know our playing squad better than we outsiders (ie need for rest, need for form, game plan etc). Fingers crossed we have a good hit out tomorrow night with NO injuries or suspensions.

Morton's been injured and hasn't played seniors or reserves for a few weeks now.

Ah, hadn't heard that. Thanks Ugg, I thought he retired otherwise.

[ScottH]

What a talented, but very inexperienced bench!!

[Doctor]

In terms of Freo we also have to consider that they will almost certainly be travelling from Perth to Victoria and back twice in successive weeks. Resting 10 players under those circumstances is perfectly understandable. We don't have 10 players we can bring in.

Not overly happy that lamb is omitted. he didnt set the world on fire in a team that was thrashed. it peeves me when we have a last on first off selection - selected as sub, did little out you go. Anyway, all I want from tonight is a bruise free game without suffering any injuries and a demonstration that we can match them inside - because that have crushed us inside the last two games, and our inside players arent likely to change much for next week

Hopefully Lamb is just a rest for the finals (like what Tom had a couple of weeks ago..)

Dumb match day question- does my membership include free public transport? I don't think it does, I've never tried but I just noticed it for tickets as part of the general matchday info.

Only for ANZ games (I'm assuming you mean to the game, I don't think you can use to take the train to the Central Coast or anything).

Yep, I meant to the game- but I'll be coming down from the top of the Blue Mountains so it's basically the same thing as using it for a holiday!

Thanks for that, I usually drive to Homebush and only PT to SCG games so wasn't too sure.

Barry Hall said on 927 this morning that Tippett might be a late withdrawal from the team tonight.

Thanks for leaking team secrets Baz!

But who will we mindlessly bomb it long to?
