Swans Selections for round 1

[Markwebbos]

Dagliesh is only biased if we're playing Freo. Margetts is a worry and so is Foot.

With regards to the ground dimensions I read somewhere that it's like Etihad. Don't know how accurate that is.

It?s supposed to be close to MCG dimensions.

According to Wikipedia it?s 165 x 130m and MCG is 171 x 146 and Etihad is 170 x 140.

SCG is 156 x 154

I'm more concerned about the Foot with an E holding an emergency spot....that's not deserved from the footy he has played so far.

But my major concern is an underdone, and slow, McVeigh and Grundy coming back in together, that's a worry...Hopefully we can apply enough pressure up the ground so these 2 aren't exposed.

I also have a feeling Jetta is due for a big game against his old side...Hope I'm wrong....Swans by 19

Hayward doesn't make the cut? So sad when a romance ends.

Anyone know who the emergencies that traveled were?

Swans might be dealt a blow for WCE clash, forward Sam Reid could be a late out. Story on @AFLcomau soon

MYSTERY surrounds the fitness of Sydney key forward Sam Reid ahead of Sunday's clash with West Coast at Optus Stadium.

Reid was named in the Swans' starting side on Thursday night but he hasn't been spotted in the west with the remainder of the squad, which arrived on Friday.

Three of Sydney's four emergencies in Will Hayward, who was a surprise omission for the season opener, Dan Robinson and Jordan Foote are in Perth.

Don't like the sound of that, makes for a small forward line. Just so long as the bloke with the incriminating photos isn't the replacement for Reid.

We'd have a Richmond-like forward line. I would prefer Reid, but it wouldn't be a disaster. WC are good in the air, but not that great covering small forwards.

Hayward would have to be the one to come in for Reid. If Foote comes in I?m not sure my television will be safe.

Well if this is true then we're not off to a good start! It has to be Hayward that comes in. Hope it is nothing serious with Reid.

Perhaps Reid was late to training or found a chain fence to hurdle.

How Foote and Robbo make the 22 is beyond me. Both are nEAFL players at best.

They're not in the 22 - or not yet, anyway.

Robbo is OK as the 22nd player picked in a team (if others are injured). He's an honest hard worker.

Could the day go any slower? I've run out of chores and the doubts are creeping in.

The mood within the team is so different compared to this time last year. Perhaps that's a good thing.

[I?m-uninformed2]

Confirmed on swans Twitter he is out.

A reminder of our biggest depth issue: after Buddy and Reid, who are our ready to play key forwards? (And don?t yet count McCartin. And given our ruck stocks, don?t count them either)
