Changes for Round 11 V Suns

[Matt80]

If Rampe is not injured then I think they will go for no changes. Lloyd and Cunningham will swap the Subs vest.

Pyke will probably need a week in the reserves. The reserves ruck division of Pyke, Naismith and Toby N is ridicules.

I know we sometimes have 'two up' ruck work, but 'three up' would be interesting!

[Mug Punter]

Me neither. For a player playing in defence in a team that won comfortably (ie the ball spent more of the time at the other end of the ground), and a team that demands (and receives) a pretty even contribution from all players, his contribution was good I thought. I am not advocating a recall to the senior team but he seems to be gaining in confidence in a new role and has been far from "poor" in any game I've seen him play in the NEAFL this year.

Poor probably a little harsh but I expected him to carve up at NEAFL level and he got caughy way too often with the ball for my liking.

I'm a Rohan fan though and sure he will come good, agree that him off the HBF could be something going forward

I would really like to see Naismith given his opportunity sooner rather than later in the Ones. Then again Derrickx is doing a surprisingly effective job at the moment and my early season ridicule has turned to respect

OUT : Whateley, Gordon, Swann, Maguire

IN :Robbo(can't believe I'm writing this), Healy, Sheahan, Dunstall

A view shared by Swans Media's Josh Berriman:

As a whole, the way the reserves were able to shut out the Thunder forwards and then counterattack from the half-back line at times mirrored the seniors? Thursday night dismantling of the Cats.

Zak Jones and Gary Rohan were often key contributors in that drive, with Jones showing a desire for the contest over four quarters that wouldn?t have surprised many. He spoiled well and shrugged off a knock late in the third term to again improve his game further in the final term.

[MomentByMoment]

Why not play Mitchell as sub with a brief to go hard on the inside and let JPK roam forward a little. i.e. focus on toughness instead of speed.

[bloodbloods]

Looks like maybe Rampe out after injury report saying we will see how he goes Friday for training.

"Damage to his knee" without much more description does'nt sound good and I don't think they would risk it.

[Matt80]

With Rampe needing to prove his fitness on Friday, would the Swans name a squad of 25 tonight?

[ugg]

All Sunday teams name a squad of 25 on Thursday nights.

Perhaps a weeks' rest for Dane and a debut is on the cards???

[Mr Magoo]

Nope - I reckon they will just bring Mitchell in.

[Matt80]

Can another rookie be upgraded at this time of the year without a senior listed player going to the long term injury list?

[Dosser]

Nope - I reckon they will just bring Mitchell in.

Agree. McVeigh to the HBF and Mitchell to the bench

[Ludwig]

If Rampe doesn't come up for the game, I wouldn't mind seeing Membrey get a game as the sub. I think we should bring Harry back into the 21 as we will need his pace against the Suns.

I think we can upgrade a rookie after round 11. I believe there are some salary cap implications as well, but not sure of all the technical details.
