Changes for Round 19

[ugg]

The Nanny and NaiNai double act?

Or go with a pinch hitter such as Towers, Aliir or Xavier? Has Ted ever rucked? Would he like to try?

[aguy]

As long as nankervis wasn't badly injured in last weeks reserves I'm sure that he will replace Sinclair.

I was calling for that change anyway

[Ludwig]

Out: Sinclair (knee), Mitchell (mismanaged), Foote (unlucky)
In: Nankervis, Newman, McGroin

Called this one early.

Who would have thought that our entire Key Position depth would be captured in this photo?

Derickx is also injured. Or unavailable for unspecified reasons. Either way he can barely last a NEAFL game so I don't consider him right for senior selection.

Galloway to debut! God help us

How about Benny on Teds shoulders?

His new modelling contract prohibits contact sports. And carbs.

Funny, he's not on the injury list. I know he had a scratch on his face that he was concerned about. He's been cleared to play by the Swans' medical staff, but there may be a problem with the modelling agency.

I recall Ted playing in the ruck for us early on in his career with us, but I could be wrong (wouldn't be surprised if I was just hallucinating).

I was wondering about Ted, I have to admit- desperate times! He certainly has a bit of experience wrestling with resting ruckmen in the backline so might be able to hold his own around the ground (if Heath wasn't playing so well in defence I'd wonder if he might be able to give a few minutes here and there for similar reasons).

You can expect a call my lawyers.

Shame we're not playing West Coast, otherwise it could've been Nan/Nai versus Nic Nat.

Plus the long flight can make his skin tone a bit puffy. Which really inhibits his ability to conjure a successful 'blue steel'.

[Ludwig]

What's going on here. Everyone's stealing my material.




"If Tom Derickx is qualified to be a ruckman for the Sydney Swans, then my husband is qualified to be President of the United States."

Yep, a rugby lift for boundary throw-ins could work. Might have to send someone in to have a go at the centre bounces though.

[stellation]

Sinclair confirmed as out here.

Worrying thing is they've confirmed he has had surgery and they hope he's back within a month.

I don't think a stop gap would cut it for 4 weeks, unless Toby will be available sooner than that.
