    And where is Rock Lobster?

      Weve never played 3 ruckmen at once so i dont think we will start this week. What worked in geelong was a decoy forward. X could do what his brother did.

        Would the cats fall for the same trick twice?

          It was unexpected last time, Ted's first game as a forward in years. X has been playing forward ever since the last Geelong game, no element of surprise this time around

            Going on my cats, we need three players to spray catnip on their guernseys and maybe sew a couple of bells onto their socks, that should prove a decent distraction for the cats.

              It was also to counteract henderson being 3rd man up if I recall correctly.

              I notice Henderson is suddenly a possible selection. Are they playing games with us ?

                I agree

                  I reckon we might have played Pyke, Mummy and Tippo together in the back half of 2013. Of course then we just considered Kurt a forward or forward-ruck if need be.

                    Yeah but back then Tippett was a stay at home forward; Pyke was still fast (don't forget his run against the All Blacks), was 2nd in the league for contested marks, & was essentially a forward/ruck rather than a ruck/forward (I think he kicked about 28 in 2013); Mummy was our number one ruckman. In fact, as talls, they were all pretty mobile

                      I reckon he is over at Big Footy. There is someone who posts who has Richard Colless giving the finger, which was his call sign.

                              Check out training:


                              ...OK, so maybe not so useful

                                Nice to see LRT as a "go-to" for some thoughts on injury and selection.

                                AFL finals 2016: Injured Swans must be fit by Wednesday before do-or-die clash with Geelong

                                The psychology is important. If you know you're not quite right, playing on your mind constantly...not good. I'd rather see the strongest team in practice than the best team on paper.
