    Laidler may have been ordinary yesterday, but he's been serviceable most of the season. Knee-jerk demotion is not necessary

      Confirmed via Swans website: Tippett up to six weeks, Reid three weeks, Marsh 1 week hammy strain and Rohan all clear. Great night all round!
      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

          Not as bad as I feared for Tippo
          Even better news for Rohan

            I feared it could have been worse. At least they should be back in August. The big problem is that we face the toughest part of our schedule after the bye with games against WB, Geelong and Hawthorn. So its not a good time to have key players out. It's time for Naismith to step up. With Marsh out, maybe Aliir can come in.

            Melbourne are playing a great game v Collingwood. It will be a tough game next week.

              I was pretty pissed after the game.
              Been spoilt this year, being generally happy each week. Even the losses were ok, 10 pts, 1 pt
              This week sucked, not just because of the crap we dished up, but more the collateral damage.
              Found I was pretty short with family members for an hour or so after the game.
              This news makes me feel a lot better.

              Losing a game is one thing, but when 2 of your better players also go down, it's pretty disappointing...

                  Good news indeed!
                  Would expect Teddy to come in for Marsh then

                    Naismith for Tippett
                    Ted for Marsh (bad luck for him)
                    Foote/Hewett for McGlynn (just not doing enough)

                    Reid injury is a pisser
                    Papley has now missed a month

                      6 weeks for Tippett is soooo much better than the 3-5 months I kept hearing!

                      Bad luck for Marsh.

                      The next month will show what we are made of.

                        Hewett for Rohan

                        Nankervis or Naismith for Tippett

                        Ted for Marsh

                        No need for any knee-jerk sackings at this stage but that could well change if we don't turn up next week which I fully expect us to.

                        It's a massive match for us next Sunday. We've had a good run with injuries and we now need the week off for sure but a final push next week before the break next week will see us enter the last 10 weeks in good form

                          OUT: Tippett, Marsh, McGlynn
                          IN: Nankervis, Teddy, Hewett

                          Nankervis in depending on whether he's injured, obviously. Of the two options Ugg outlined, I'd prefer Sinclair to number 1 ruck and Nankervis the number 2 role. Agree Naismith a better body fit for Gawn, but it'd be harsh on Sinclair and Nankervis is dangerous forward.

                          Ben's lost a couple of yards, he has career-worst average disposals and his tackle average is down. He's following the game. Hewett in for Ben, but he's effectively being replaced by Rose.

                          Shame for Marsh, he's been composed. Nice kick.

                            My understanding is that Rohan will miss a week, you'd have to think we'd be conservative with him given his injury history.

                            Marsh will be better for the run and he was not disgraced last night. He did quite well against a beast in Cameron that really he should not have been up against. Further evidence for me that we need a KPD and that we can't just "make do" next season.

                              I'd rather see McGlynn keep his spot than Cunningham. While I prefer Papley over McGlynn in the long run, McGlynn has offered alot more in the last month of football than Cunningham.

                                Re Rohan, I was going from the Swans website: 'expected to play'. Bye the following week helps.
