    Barry you may have a point maybe Heeney needs a game off.

    In other news I've just realised there are no NRL games at ANZ stadium next week so they ground shouldn't be as bad as it's been in the past

        I reckon they'll be temped to pick Rose this week. Handled his first game really well, then went back and smashed it for the Reserves. He could break the game open coming on as a sub in the final quarter. Maybe for Benny. Tough call.

        Brandon froze several times with the ball on Saturday, as he did often in the first few games of his career, but less so in his run of games leading to now. It was very frustrating, but he'll be better for it. He kept tackling hard and that's an important asset.

          It is interesting that the swans get to play the two teams that tanked for the finals yet the swans were the team given trade restrictions.

            I think you are making the mistake of using logic to explain the AFLs actions.

            It's a corrupt organisation.

                Ready for us to throw everything at the Kangas next week.

                Injuries permitting, all I'd do is bring in Smith for Reid.

                No-one disgraced themselves and BJ and Heeney will be the better for the run.

                I don't think we are any chance at all of beating WCE in the Prelim so I really see this week as our Grand Final

                  Got my email with details re priority purchase of tickets for next Saturday's match. It has an illustration on it showing five Swans players - Goodes & Hannebery - and Buddy, Kieran and Parker. So sad.

                    Swallow was very good. Genuinely took over the midfield in the 2nd half.

                      Richmond we very poor defensively today. Lacked pressure through the midfield and got done on the turnover badly.

                        I'm trying to decide whether to go or not.
                        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                            So true, and in reality North smashed them all over the ground. Inaccurate kicking kept Richmond in the game.

                            Norths defence will have a field day against our lack of forwards. We will need our midfield (what's left of it) to not only win the contested footy but to impose themselves on the scoreboard. Either that or Rohan has a blinder, and kicks 3 or 4.

                              It's been too emotional this year, I can't take it any more.
                              Are you guys coming?

                                the same Richmond that has had the wood on us the previous few seasons?
