Ronke out for Menzel
Jack for Clarke "rested"
Fox to play a bit if ruck, no way he will roll the dice with an actual ruck
not sure who comes out

No one has spoken about, Zak Jones ?
This bloke is going to want 700k at the end of the year

What about Zak Jones? I thought just about every thread had something about Zak Jones.

He's clearly having his best year. He makes his mistakes, but that's what happens when you take a lot of risks. I think he's an important part of the future for the Swans.

If the Swans don't have money in the kitty to pay him, let's crowd fund him.

Needs to lift, not just Ollie in the middle below par

[Ralph Dawg]

Surely McVeigh must now retire at seasons end. He has been a champion for the club and, if he wants to, I hope that they give him a coaching position.

It's really concerning that he's been doing a soft tissue injury everytime he makes a come back. Can't seem to last more than a handful of games. Agree that it might be time to hang up the boots, as sad as the prospect is.

[Agent 86]

I'd give Wayward another chance. He'll come back.

I'm dubious as to whether Amartey can step, but we've got try something. Since our season is toast, why not give Knoll a crack?

KJ and Ronke should go, & I think Menzel should come in for the latter.

McVeigh injured again, i think? - so no 'Back to the Future' from Horse this week.

Dawson has just been handed a week’s suspension

And now Dawson's out:

Relief for star Kanga but Swan, Sun cop one-game bans - AFL.com.au

Dawson has just been handed a week’s suspension

For an offence that seemed about half as serious, as the late, flying elbow to the head, which he copped from McKernan last week, and for which McKernan received a fine.

Should appeal with vision of that incident shown!

[dejavoodoo44]

Looks like Stoddart now gets his well earned promotion. He will add a bit of extra run and he's also an excellent kick. His 70 metre goal on the weekend, was actually an accurate 60 metre pass to the top of the goal square, which a couple of our forwards managed to miss.

Or at least have management seek clarification, as to why Dawson's somewhat innocuous bump, was considered to be more serious.

Maybe it’s the ‘Victorian-based teams with a chance of making finals’ exception rule?

[Ludwig]

Dawson definitely didn't deserve a week. It was nothing compared the one's Ablett got off for a couple of times this year. It looked as though Dow ran into Dawson, who just couldn't avoid contact, although he did try.

But in the greater scheme of things, it's not all that bad. He's had a few knocks the last few games and can use a week's rest. And we can now try another player for the week, so maybe we don't have to choose between Fox and Clarke or whatever the case may be. The way Horse spoke about Hayward, it sounded like he needs a week off as well.

We could have Dawson, Hayward, Ronke and Jack all out. Maybe replaced by Amartey (or Knoll), Fox, Clarke and Stoddart. I'd be happy with that.

Yes, it could be that. I thought that it was just to piss me off, but sometimes I'm quite egocentric.
