Changes For Round 21 v Port
Exactly . McVeigh if fit is in our best 22, has never looked lost out there and still found the ball easily and used it efficiently. Jack not so much , despite an occasional good moment has been largely invisible in the games he has played this year ( and last year too mostly). Plus he is less of on field leader in the sense that I don’t think he has a great footy brain like Macca does.

Agree. His demise has hurt us in the sense that I reckon the club thought that they would get a few more high class years out of him. Injuries took their toll unfortunately. Hard to see him staying on the list.Exactly . McVeigh if fit is in our best 22, has never looked lost out there and still found the ball easily and used it efficiently.

Jack and McVeigh were always very different types of on-field leader. Jack led by example, and one might hypothesize that as his physical powers have waned then perhaps so too have his on-field leadership capabilities because they were so dependent upon actions. If that is the case, the they may also limit his effectiveness as a coach.
McVeigh on the other hand has always been a do-what-I-say-not-what-I-do type on-field leader, probably because Captain Gumby has always been a tackle-shy outside runner.
That the club and his team mates respect his leadership, despite this limitation, speaks volumes of his other leadership attributes, which may well help him to become an effective coach.Comment

Not a physically that strong, but hardly tackle shy I would have thought.

I think poor conditions will make us a real chance tomorrow if they do happen. We haven't been too far off in recent weeks against good teams - and I don't rate either Adelaide team this year."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I'm not sure if the conditions will help us especially if we keep handballing in wet weather. Hopefully we adapt to the conditions.Comment
