    I see it more of a back-up. What would happen if Sinclair couldn't play for the rest of the season? I think he's doing a damn good job considering playing as full-time ruckman isn't his strength.

      I’m not sure that’s really what the Swans want: a ruckman who’s doing a great job considering “playing as a full-time ruckman isn’t his strength”

      We need better than that

        That said, the nickname isn't one that is of particularly good omen, then, and only those who've used it will be able to tell us if they were alluding to that seminal moment in American history.
        Not a great moment in US history, but a long time ago now.
        But , of course, this is the reference.

          Yes, that was my point about why we drafted two ruckmen.

              I'm still available to play in the ruck.
              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
              Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                One change I expect for this week will be back to our regular jumper and socks. While I really like our Swans home outfits, I LOVE the indigenous ones. So I’m a bit sad to see them packed back in the cupboard.

                I wonder if they will be the same for next year’s indigenous round - or after two years we will have a new design.

                  They'll change in a few years to keep new merchandise ticking over.

                    Sounds like we'll have at least one change this week, with Fox all but ruled out by Gardiner on the injury wrap.

                      Other than Rose, no one in the NEAFL is putting up such consistent numbers to warrant tipping out a senior incumbent.

                      No change
                      I think the numbers only tell part of the story. Fox, Clarke and COR all have churned out massive games in the NEAFL yet have not even come close to being as dominant in AFL.
                      Although Stoddart gets about 20 odd possessions a match, his disposal and run off half back gives hope that he could actually have a significant impact at the top level.

                        If there was anyone in danger of being dropped it would be Fox. Rowbottom to replace him?

                            Rowbottom or Stoddart, please no KJ!

                            The season is gone, time to get games into young players and try different positional moves, like Mills in the midfield roster and play Rowbottom in there which is where he played as an inside mid at U18 and I assume in the NEAFL? Who cares if we get beat, it's all about 2020 on.

                              I care if we get beat. I want us to win every game from here.

                              But I agree with the chorus of moving Mills into the midfield, and getting more games into Rowbottom. But I reckon Stoddart is due another crack too.
