Or Jack made a significant contribution as a mentor/onfield coach to the younger players, picked up 16 and 5 tackles. Cemented his spot in the NEAFL.

I hope you're correct Webbos and not me!

Does anyone have any info on Ling?

Hmmm, now that you mention it, he does seem to have taken over from McLean, the role of, not playing/not on the injury list. The last time he played was against the Suns in late May. If I remember rightly, he suffered some sort of foot injury, but it was different from the toe injury, that kept him out previously. Possibly more upper foot or ankle? Possibly tendon related? I think they originally said, that it was likely to keep him out for 6-7 weeks. So, probably won't be seeing him for at least a few weeks.

Hope Ling is putting all this down time to good use in the gym.

HELP PLEASE Ugg or someone else - off the Swans website NEAFL Round 17 Saturday, July 28, Brisbane Lions, 10.30am, Blacktown Internatioanl Sportspark

I'm driving through Sydney that weekend (Qld to SA) and will go to the game if I can be certain when it is July 28 is a Sunday not a Saturday. Is the game on Saturday 27th or Sunday 28th

Thanks in advance

This is one of the most powerful NEAFL squad that the Swans have named. Look forward to a strong performance.

I have it down as a Sunday which would make sense as originally it would have been a curtain raiser to swans freo

Thanks Ugg, hope to get along. I'll have my two Kelpies with me on the trip, any idea if they are dog friendly at such a low key game?

No idea if dogs are allowed but given there is no one manning the gates you’ll probably get in regardless

Okay this is interesting, Darcy Cameron will not be playing this game and I’m led to believe this decision was made before the Hawks game meaning it’s not as a result of Sinclair’s concussion and a need to put Cameron on standby for the GC game.

If true might be worrying rather than interesting.

Who is next in line to be the senior team ruckman??

Could it be that Darcy was a line ball decision but in the end medical staff felt it safer to give him one more week meaning he's a good chance for next week if required? If he's not fit and Sinclair doesn't get up, maybe Amartey gets a run?

I think they'd play Reid w/ Aliir backing up in the ruck before that happens

Yep. Aliir showed a bit last night.

Another late change, McCartin out.

So final changes are Cameron and McCartin out, Cooper Kilpatrick and Ky McGrath in

Surely not risking them because of Buddy and Sinclair?
