OK, so if Buddy doesn't get up. What is our plan B. Throw caution to the wind and bring in Reid? Use Rohan at full-forward? Reg? Cameron?Comment

I don't think we could go in with mccartin as our only key forward again.
Option A. Play Cameron ruck, and Sinclair forward. Risky because GWS's real weakness is their ruck and Lobb could rip Cameron apart. But I don't think Cameron can hold down a forward spot.
Option B. Play Rohan. Not a key forward, and not a big ball winner,. This is probably the "safest" option, but our chances to win are low.
Option c. Play Reid. It's his natural position, gives him game time for the rest of the finals. Most likely to backfire though.
If you are looking to win a flag, the best 4 week strategy is to get Reid back in the team. Option c.Comment

Looks like GWS will be quite a different team to a few weeks ago with Kelly, Greene, Williams, and maybe Deledio & de Boer in.
Lovable Toby's presence out there can't be underestimated. Even though he has been a bit rusty, GWS haven't lost in the seven
games he has played this year. Also Davis playing and Buddy maybe not is a whole different ball game to last time when Davis
was largely out of action and Buddy was up and about. We can't even fall back on a home ground advantage anymore.Comment

Giants could be quite unsettled with multiple changes, uncertain form , a full house of Swans fans , their inexperience in finals (compared to Swans long standing record) .
two previous consecutive losses.
I don’t think they are any shoein.
If they do progress, good luck to them , however SYDNEY are no mugs at this finals caper.
Well I do want the kids to have another final at the G (I think West Coast will beat Pies).Comment

If there is one player that can play good footy after having a long break its Sam Reid. Have a look at history and how well he plays after a break. With an injury cloud hanging over buddy, Iwould take the risk. Also Rohan could be handy at the SCG ground. Just drop him when we get to a bigger ground.

Sam Reid did not play too well in the NEAFL which was his last game after a long break.Comment

If Buddy doesnt play, I would play Cameron at full forward because he is a good mark and accurate goal kicker. Better option than Reid at this time as he is fit and can help in the ruck when Sinclair needs a break. A bit radical but best option that will stretch GWS backmen. He is fit and in great form. Smokey for me and worth a go as nothing to lose, go for winComment

If both Reid and Cameron are fit to play a full game (which is in itself a big if), and Buddy isn't, it will come down to whether a very rusty Reid will create more problems than a fit and firing Cameron.
I think playing Reid would be a huge risk. If Cameron could break even in the ruck v Lobb and allow Sinkers to play mostly as a forward, then ...
There's a lot of #DarcyLove on here. He only needs one breakout game to prove to the coaches and himself he can play at AFL level.
I'm hoping Steve Johnson's insider knowledge will help us handle Toby Greene. Nick Smith is a huge out for the Swans.Comment

I don't think the coaches will think about Reid for more than a nanosecond. He didn't even last a quarter in his last comeback attempt, and that's the same pattern as he showed in 2016 - one injury to be shortly replaced by another as soon as he stepped out into the NEAFL side.
If (and it's a big IF) he can get through the NEAFL game on Saturday morning, then he might come into reckoning the following week, if the senior team is playing.Comment

This injury update implies all 3: Buddy, Parker and Reid will be available to play this Saturday

Cameron was terrible in his only AFL game and an elimination final isn't the time to try and change that.
We desperately need an experienced, strong 2nd tall forward. It has to be either Grundy or a rusty Reid. Don't care either way but we can't win with a half fit Buddy and a kid in McCartin.Comment

Listening to the latest "The Rub" podcast Barrett said his "mail" is that Buddy and Parker will be playing. For whatever that is worth?"Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
