    Mumford has been a pretty good player for a long time now both for us and GWS, and he is still going !

        The Swans player profile has Heeney at 186cm and 84 kg. Haywood shown at 187 and 84kg.

          I am 188cm and stood next to Heeney at a restaurant last year and I'd say 186cm for him is pretty accurate. There was a much
          bigger difference in our respective weights though and that may be connected to my spending too much time in restaurants generally.
          Anyway, I've ruled myself out of filling in for Buddy in the forward line, and am backing Isaac to kick 50 goals for us this year.

            Just a few plays from 2014 to show us what we won't have this season:

              I'd like to see Dawson used as a floating forward where his kicking can hit the scoreboard.
              No reason not to keep the 21 that played against the Crows and add Hewitt for Ronke. Hard for players to stake a claim for a spot when they haven't been playing.
              Taylor wasn't so bad for a 'first-gamer'. I think atm the weakest link might be Jake Lloyd. He was MIA against Adelaide and when he did get the ball his decision making was poor. He'll need a strong showing against the peptide princesses.

                Agree that Georgie should come in for Ronke (unless someone else has been training the house down). I'm looking forward to watching our current Swans again soon. I've exhausted the 2005 and 2012 finals series respectively.

                  Horse made a big point that fitness / readiness to play was a KPI, so I’m hoping to see a few new faces against Essendon

                    There is no one outside the round 1 team fit worth bothering with. NEAFL stalwarts like Stoddart, Bell, Thurlow, Clarke, Fox etc are not best 22. Stephens and Gould are draftees, they offer less fitness-wise than most anyway. Our hand may be forced to leave the rd 1 side as was, with George in for Ronke. There are a handful of lucky Swans who will take on the dopers.

                      One other possible left field selection is Joel Armatey for Sinkers who can also play forward/Ruck, if selectors want to use this opportunity to develop him as he is more mobile with the faster/shorter quarters in mind. However i doubt they will seriously consider Joel at this point.

                        Sinkers didn't play round one.
                        Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                          I'm sure I read that Joel injured his hamstring during lockdown. Haven't heard whether he is training yet.

                              Just saw on the news that Fantasia has injured his quad and won't be playing.

                                Thanks rb4x, I wasn't aware of that. He'll definitely won't come into calculation now!
