Love those changes.
- Bottom four performers from last week out. Blakey's rest overdue
- Mills formally into the middle
- Specialist backmen in; let's see what we have in Thurlow
- Wicks in! Yes!
- Ling holds his spot
- Stephens back!
Go Swans!Comment

Very interesting set of changes.
Out (all dropped): Blakey, Clarke, Taylor, Gray
In: Wicks, Stephens, Melican, Thurlow
Two tallish backs implies Mills stays in the mids and Aliir to ruck with Sinkers as a ruck/fwd.
No problems with the outs.Comment

Yeah pretty spot on outs. Blakeys dropping a Few weeks overdue, I reckon this will be a good kick up the bum for him, he’ll return with a vengeance in a few weeks or so. Good to see Wicks get a shot, really made to earn it and we need a good pressure small forward to compliment Paps.
I like Melican in as I still think he’s a future pillar down back for us.
Thurlows selection is a bit puzzling though. We’ve dropped a mid and three mid/forwards for one forward , one mid and two defenders. Mills obviously comes into the mids but I wonder what the other move is ?
Perhaps Sinclair may be a late out and AA to ruck ? Based on nothing other than we may be slightly tall with this line up ..

Emergencies: Clarke, Warner, Taylor and BlakeyComment

Changes for Round 10 v Pies
I did consider that also but I just felt Reid , Mccartin and Cal is a fairly big forward line... on the other hand could create a favourable matchup for one of them so you never know!
But yes based on the emergencies a late change doesn’t seem too likely ...

Collingwood aren’t known for their tall fwd line so I can’t think we’d play all of Rampe, AA, Melican, Fox and Thurlow back there!
Hopefully it doesn’t mean Rampe will be the late out?
Thurlow could also be used to free up Dawson/HaywardComment

Don't mind the changes. I sort of agree that Thurlow probably should get another opportunity to show if he can offer us anything as so far he really hasn't. I would prefer Gould in his spot as I think he is our future as our 3rd or 4th tall backman but for whatever reason the match committee doesn't think he's ready yet.
Like that Wicks is getting a go. Finally a debutante that we'll play as a pressure forward that actually has a bit of history of playing that position! Lol.

Right you are, now it makes sense ! I’d like to see Dawson a bit more on a Wing or even ball so hopefully that’s part of the thinking

Hmm I half agree. Would persist with Taylor but Gray hasn’t shown much at all and he’s had a few cracks at it now.
