Changes for Rd. 4 vs Western Bulldogs

[Mountain Man]

I think the Dogs play with only one true ruck - being English - who is tall but reasonably young and light.

Sinclair and Naismith should be superior in hit outs, but their inside mids will be strong at reading the taps; as they have been all along

Don't mind the changes, McCartin, Gray & COR weren't doing much replaced by Naismith, Ronke & McInerney who collectively should do more. Should be playing to winning rucks as well now you'd reckon.

Maclean is not a ruck, he's a CHF and now won't need to ruck except for an occasional chop out deep forward.

I like the message, perform or you're out.

Well, for most players anyhow. Still one or 2 protected species.

Just saw on Twitter that John Kennedy Sr died this morning.

Condolences to JPK and family. It's Josh's 250th tonight. I hope he's able to have a good game despite the sad news.

I don't think he will play. They are a very close family and if covid allows I would think he would be in Melbourne.

I wondered about that. There’s nothing on the Swans website, so I wonder if it’s yet to be decided. I could see arguments for playing and not playing tonight.

Agree, I could easily see John Kennedy senior saying " go out and get a win for me".

I can see the boys lifting tonight for JPK regardless of whether he plays. Anyone remember the game in 2011 against Geelong just after McVeigh lost his first born daughter. The team really lifted and beat the Cats at Kardinia Park.

I reckon (hope) JPK will play. And that we lift accordingly. And win well.

Wasn’t that where Gaz kicked a wonder goal?
