Looking at the emergencies, there’s no obvious replacement for Rampe. I dont think Thurlow is one.. so they must be confident Dane is going to play

[lwjoyner]

How Lewis Taylor and Sam Gray kept in and Stephens dropped. Beats me

Yes, looks like he's in, but I won't truly believe it, until I see him running on to the Gabba.

Rampe plays "normal" in the Captain's run today as seen in the following video, except wearing a nice glove. Should be OK. Parker: It has been a whirlwind

Where are the Swans staying in Queensland?

He won’t run on to the Gabba, Superman flies.

Stephens is dead set stiff to be dropped.

[Captain]

Ridiculous to drop Stephens. Makes absolutely no sense at all.

How he is dropped ahead of Taylor and Gray is beyond me.

McInerney is also unlucky. Played well for a few games and then just ditched.

McInerney made some dreadful decisions under pressure that cost us. Needs better decision making and a bit more composure at senior level.

I,too, am disappointed to see him omitted. Could it be a matter of managed workload for a young player? I certainly hope we see him back next game.

I don’t agree Stephens is stiff. He had a decent debut, an ok follow up and a pretty poor third game. He’s a first year, I like that they get a taste and then when don’t contribute enough have to show something more in the second tier before getting another chance. It’s a good system. Not ideal with only scratch matches or ‘scrimmages’ but I think we are trying to pick our best team each week , and he isn’t in it this week. Gray could’ve been dropped for Hayward instead but I think they want a certain quota of senior bodies. Mcinerney was far more stiff earlier in the year.

Could also be a lack of defensive effort . His stats in first 3 games .

V tigers - 11 disposals 4 tackles
V GC - 11 disposals 1 tackle
V Hawks - 9 disposals 0 tackles .

Stephens is being rested. He was exhausted making all those videos recently.
