      Towers? Tantalising and attractive, but ultimately crumbly and unsatisfying over the longer term....

        The Dees have ruled out Garlett, Watts and Hogan. Not sure whether Jones is any chance to return (or if he was not mentioned because it's already known he'll miss for a few weeks).

          Nathan Jones is still out for a few more weeks apparently.

            Those are some pretty good outs. Can add Salem to the list too

              So they are running out of forwards and we don't have any forwards who can kick goals. The great leveller.

              No doubt BT's encouragement of Buddy to keep trying and hope that his "radar" returns ensures Buddy will kick 8.0 and we can all relax by 3/4 time.

                  Jones and McVeigh in for Florent and Towers. We lose some foot-speed, but McVeigh is pretty quick between the ears. I think McVeigh will play forward.

                    What talls do the Dees have in their forward line? We might drop Melican again if he doesn't have a match up, not that he's done anything wrong except being tall

                            From the photos on the swans site from today's training, Towers is wearing the yellow top so I assume that means he is out.

                              Worrying thought...Given the anti Swan talk circulating in the media.

                              Plus I've noticed a lot of the, "Swans like to shut the game down" commentators talk, lately. Which insinuates some kind of negative tactics outside the spirit of the game.

                              This commentary is never backed up by actual shut down tactics, because there aren't any. You shut a team down by out pressuring and out tackling them.

                              It might be prudent for Horse to get on the front foot here and have a preemptive chat with the umps boss to implore they don't get sucked in by the negative Swans crap.
                              Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

                                They've been saying that since 05 all commentators do is repeat the same thing over and over again and agree with each other even if doesn't make sense or backed up by anything.
