    They have way more depth than us, particularly in the midfield. If we win I’ll will be overjoyed!

      At least we know now why Grundy was dropped then played in the NEAFL. Should have just given him the time off with a BS injury.

      Lets roll the dice Bloods and take them on. Aliir surely will take Cox? Rampe to provide run and great disposal. AJ to fight hard - good luck Alex - we need you with Reg gone.

      One of our small forwards needs to fire this week - either Papley or Ronke I think. I would not even watch if AJ was not playing but will watch now. Go Bloods!

        Collingwood are probably the only club to have an injury list that rivals ours.

        A team made up of Swans/Pies players who are currently out injured would be a very handy team! (If those players were injury-free, of course!)

            McVeigh and AJ will add stability down back, KJ I'm not sure about maybe the rest has done him good, Robbo battles away.
            I've been thinking that the sudden team flop after north loss was due to a loss of on field leadership. We all look at and judge players on paper on physical attributes but not things like energy enthusiasm grit and determination.

            I also wonder about the team balance when it comes to introversion and ectroversion.

              Please.
              I'm gagging about to vomit.
              I can't unsee this, but I can pretend it never happened.
              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                  Why? The more we do that, the longer mental health issues remain a stigma. In a week where Moises Henriques has been very open about his struggles with mental illness it's good that the club are being open about it too, presuming Reg has given the ok for them to disclose that he is unwell.

                    That is not a bad team. It's a bit weak in the midfield (who are Wills & Sier?), but that's a strong back 6.

                      Not sure about having both Jack and McV back in.

                      How can you recover from a broken collar bone in 4 weeks? When he broke it in the Geelong game the prognosis was 8-9 weeks. McV had been playing well though before the injury.

                      Poor Reg. He's been such a great servant of the club. He's dedicated, focused, resilient and durable - and has absorbed a huge amount of pressure. I wonder if football mortality is creeping in. A lot of players would feel insecure as they reach the end. I hope he has some plans in place.

                        I wondered if forcing Reg to play NEAFL contributed to his troubles?

                          I think it's more likely that Reg requested to play NEAFL because he didn't feel up to playing in the senior team.

                          It's very possible, if not probable, that his depression has nothing to do with football. It's often difficult to link a cause with the effect.

                            No. With Harley in charge of the footy department it's like getting money out of a banker.

                              How do you know it's depression?

                                I agree. Making up fake physical injuries to hide a mental injury isn't ideal. Whether we like it or not, there still is a stigma attached to mental illness. Hopefully in another decade this won't be the case. All the best for Reg, hope he gets better soon.
