    Ironic if became a feasible replacement for an injury prone Melican!

      It really would be a fairytale to see AJ back in the seniors. COR cannot be ignored any longer.

            Looks like O'Riordan is a certainty. Summary had him playing back . 2 goals suggest midfield. His run would be handy in there even if it's a big step up.

              Yes, nice to see him moving so smoothly and confidently. His next AFL game may not be too far away.

                I did say 'maybe' and 'not long now'. I agree, COR to be promoted this week.

                  Maybe the home against Gold Coast in 2 weeks might be the right time for AJ to make his fairytale comeback. Hoping he has another good game in the NEAFL next week to push for senior selection.

                      I was impressed by AJ yesterday (at least what one could tell from the stream). Seems to be moving the freest he has for a long time and his tank is starting to return. Knowing how (understandably) conservative the club has been with AJ, I would expect they will want him to have a month - 6 weeks of good performances like that before they will consider him for Seniors. But if he puts in a big one next week (noting its the tough road trip to the NT), then perhaps he might be an outside chance for getting a game against the Suns.

                      I thought Marsh played well - I think he will come back in to the team for sure. Newman seems likely too. Cameron continues to power on up forward, and I wouldn't be against him getting a debut sooner rather than later - even if its just for a game or two to shoulder some of the load for Sinclair. Dawson also is beginning to build up a decent run of form - I have no doubt he will be considered too. And COR continues to impress - though we know how big the step from NEAFL to AFL level can be.
                      "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

                        Don't want to hear talk of Marsh, COR must debut before Marsh gets another game. Newman offers more than Marsh at senior level IMO.

                          Agree. As good as Marsh has been, COR has been smashing it all season (ave. 28.5 poss/game) topping it off with 37 possessions, 11 marks and 2 goals on the weekend. Even though Marsh has senior experience, COR's form can be ignored no more......it's time

                            Marsh is a depth player at best, no upside from the limited influence that he's shown in more than enough senior games. Time to get games into COR, we have no idea how good he can be.

                              Bit harsh on Harry. Done his job in a lot of wins. Given the way Hanners and Jack have played, he would still improve the team.
