Changes for Round 10 v Brisbane

[707]

Any word on where Dawson is at with his injury? Can we expect him back in the NEAFL this week or next?

IIRC, last week Dawson and a number of others were listed as two weeks so assume that batch will all be one week later today when lists are updated.

Think Pink might return this week :-)

Reid was still 6-8 weeks so at best will get a month of footy before the finals.

Lions play a high risk, up tempo style but do have an error or 2 in them under pressure. We need to play the percentages and not panic when the ball is pumped directly into our defensive 50. For that reason, I wouldn?t select Aliir this week - he panics and is a poor decision maker. Agree that a second ruck would be handy given Lions have Stef and Oscar. Rohan?s output has been poor and its time for him to go back to Neafl - we can?t keep picking him for the odd flash of brilliance. So for my 10c worth:
In: Cameron Towers
Out: Rohan McCartain (McCartain stays if Buddy suspended)

Spot on..

I think they?ll have to reward Cameron soon for his NEAFL form. Whether that?s at the expense of McCartin I don?t know. Think they?ll also be very keen to get Melican back too... Brisbane were too tall for Hawthorn

But no idea who?d go out

[waswan]

Cameron and Melican/Alir in
Need 2 rucks and a tall defender

Melican for me is an Auto select when fit, more than proved that over the last 12 months

Who goes out? I think McCartin would have to make way for Cameron and for Melican would they drop Gaz? Don?t see any obvious outs / passengers

In: Towers Cameron
Out: McCartin Rohan

I can't believe how many have turned against Gary Rohan. Last week was his first really bad game for the year.
I doubt he'll be dropped unless he is carrying an injury.

Totally. Gaz might go missing sometimes but he has that x factor that can provide the goal or tackle that wins the game. And he's fun to watch!

[waswan]

Mccartin "rested" for Cameron
Cunningham for Alir unless he is tagging
Jones Rested for Newman

[Gary]

Did you watch Brisbane demolish Hawthorn ... don't think we should be resting anybody,

There's an article in the Daily Telegraph today (republished by the Swans on their website - Swans in the media - May 24, 2018 - sydneyswans.com.au) that Melican could come straight back into the side. It's in the second article.

Wow.
Suggest that Rohan is an out based on form, and suddenly you'returning against him.

By that way of thinking the selection group have turned against Towers, dropping him after one poor game.

Having said that, I would suggest that it is up for debate the number of poor games Gaz has had this year.

What's the measuring stick you would use to determine if has had a poor game. I would suggest that he, like all players, are asked to perform a role within the team. If the coaches are happy that he performed that role to THEIR satisfaction he keeps his place. Specific roles are not just measured by possessions.

"Rest" is a nice way to say to Mccartin you played well but not yet in our 22, managed also achieves this
With Jones having a head knock, he may be left out in his best interest
