    I wouldn't be surprised to see Benny and Ted selected, seems both have been training well, they're probably less of a gamble than the rookies. I still reckon Rose might sneak a game this week too, especially if Benny doesn't get a run.

      No promotion to senior list yet with AJ's move to the long term injury list, which would suggest no rookies will be playing on Saturday.
      Today's a draft of your epitaph

        To my mind It says there won't be TWO rookie upgrades. But I think it is a sign that there WILL be one rookie upgraded just before the teams are submitted on Thursday afternoon. I say this because we already had one rookie upgrade available via Gary Rohan being on the LTI list. By putting Johnson on that list officially it suggests to me they are planning to use one of those two upgrades otherwise they wouldn't bother putting Johnson on the LTI list in the first place

          There will be rookie upgrade(s). Even without a best 22 selection, it will need to happen for the emergency list.

              Also, this sentence from the Longmire article interested me...."Meanwhile Tom Papley and Nic Newman are pushing to be elevated to the senior list after Rohan was recently placed on the long-term injury list." Did I miss something, I knew Rohan was injured, but long term?? Typo? Johnson?

                    Ongoing hamstring problems that have cost him his pre-season. Club said he was pretty much recovered from the hamstring a couple of weeks ago but now he needs to complete a solid block of training before he can play.

                        He also wants the BOG to be given the Adam Goodes Medal...

                          Eddie's big plan: Swans-Pies blockbuster to feature Adam Goodes Medal - AFL.com.au

                          I'd hoped this was a wind up, but it appears not. Regardless of whether the concept of the game itself is good, for Eddie, of all people, to suggest that Goodes' name is co-opted to help promote the game (via naming a medal after him) is bizarre in the least. I wonder if he thought to actually run this past Adam first.

                          Having been critical of some of Pridham's earlier responses to Collingwood Sydney spats, I think he's showing definite improvement. I love some of his comments quoted in this article, especially pointing out that Collingwood is the second most widely supported club in the AFL.

                            From the Swans site-"Mills and Sinclair will be speaking to media ahead of the team?s final training session on Thursday morning." So I guess there will be no Rookie upgrades this week. Otherwise, the upgraded player(s) should have been called to speak to the Media?? There was no mention of Talia too. Looks like Teddy and Benny will play then.

                              I think its these two Roy Morgan Polls from 2012 and 2014
                              Sydney Swans with most AFL supporters for seventh straight year - Roy Morgan Research
                              Sydney Swans top AFL supporter ladder well ahead of Hawks in tenth - Roy Morgan Research

                                Not necessarily. They probably don't want to parade too many players in front of the media and they've picked these two because they are no-brainers to play (and because they share the same first name so it puts a cute little twist on things!) They've possibly not yet decided on Ted or Benny, which means they can't yet have decided on Talia, George, Papley et al
