    king, Membery and one of those means we must get some height into our defence.[/QUOTE]

    Membrey will be praying Rampe is out. He's played on him half a dozen times now and is still waiting to touch the footy.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

      His prayers have been answered it seems....but I say bring in Gould and Membrey might still be waiting to touch the ball. I reckon Gould is going to be a gun.

        Hmmm

        Then the siren goes off and Sweet Caroline starts to play.

            Clarke is too slow to tag Jones, I reckon he'll play on Hill. I didn't see much of Isaac Smith or Tom Scully Saturday so I reckon he did OK. (Clarke 20 disposals, Scully 14, Smith 16). Clarke's disposal is awful but he gets to a lot of contests. Hopefully others (Stephens) will soon take his place.

            Not sure who would play on Jones? Possibly someone like Olly who is quick, or would Bell be quick enough?

            I can't imagine Rampe will play given he's got a broken hand. I would think they'll bring in Melican for him ... I really don't want Mills playing in defence, but I can understand why they might want to play him back there?

            Like everyone else, keen to see Gould get a game sooner rather than later. He's physically (height) like for like with Rampe, but he's not going to be anywhere near Rampe's level in his first game of AFL.

            There's potentially Hayward and O'Riordan to come back.

            OUT: Rampe (hand), Gray
            IN: Melican, Hayward

              Kath Watson just said on AFL tonight that Rampe is an outside chance of playing against The Saints.
              Seems strange.

                I would not put it past Rampe to play despite the operation. What a Swans player! A real warrior. Having said that we should not risk his health and safety unless there is negligible risk of hurting it further. If one of those tall backs like Melican is available I would go with them given the Saints' size in attack.

                    I’m trying to put Rampe’s game on the weekend in context. I know Paps got the headlines but jeez it was out of this world. From the touch on the goal line to some daring kicks to the pain he must have been in.

                    I’d put it on par with the likes of Joey in the 16 grand final or Heeney in AJ’s last game or Paul Kelly against the West Coast in mid-90s or Goodes vs Port in 03 final.

                    Tough, skilful, relentless and full of leadership.
                    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

                      Ramps got 10 from the coaches, Papley (despite milking those free kicks) got 7 (so a 3 or 4 from Clarko)

                        Agree, although I would like to see Will Gould make his debut.

                            Nicely corrected. Clarko thinks more of him than he says, but his diversionary tactics appear to have backfired big time

                            Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson will receive a please explain from the AFL after his criticism of the umpiring following Saturday’s seven-point loss to Sydney, according to Sportsday host Sam McClure.

                            McClure understands that the AFL will demand an explanation from Clarkson regarding his comments on the umpiring.

                            “We can report to you tonight that Alastair Clarkson, the Hawthorn coach, will be hit with a please explain – potentially even more than that by the AFL in the coming hours, over his latest comments to do with AFL umpires,” McClure told Sportsday.

                                Official line is still that Rampe is a chance. I think they might err on the side of caution when the time comes, but good to know it isn't too serious.
