Changes for Round 12 v Giants

[Blood Fever]

I think you are correct. However I have been able to watch the recent scratch games and to his credit he is rapidly improving in this department.

Good to hear! Hope he gets back this year.

[emoji38] [emoji23] [emoji12] It must be all the videos we see at training or when debutants get named and all the players are jovial and look like they’re enjoying themselves with Longmire that gives you this impression.

Seriously, it’s getting laughable at how you and others on here can keep this narrative regarding Longmire alive.

Longmire will never coach another premiership. That is my prediction

I'm hoping for:

In: McInerney, Blakey
Out: Taylor, Ling

Blakey you got but according to someone who saw the Scratch Match he does not deserve it

Yes, I had a giggle when I read that bit about 'losing the group'.....a bit of a headshaker that one. Wolfie's howlin' at the wind again.[emoji58]

Am I? He will never coach another prwmiership

I'm not a fan of having a culture of gifting players games just so their family can see them, regardless of where we are on the ladder.

Well we gifted Blakey plenty this year and gifted again.

Think there was a lot of wishful thinking on RWO, me included

I asked the question earlier in the season. Will Franklin ever play again? Not looking good. If he does not get up this season he should give it away next season. He is not a part of any premiership aspirations the club has anyway.

Knoll came to us having done really well in the SANFL WAFL game, and even with all or ruck woes he spent the season in the 2's (and then in the injury room).

So performance in other leagues may not have a great deal of relevance to getting a game in the firsts

He got injured in fact when Sinclair went down. We had no rucks and were using Aliir, Fox and Dawson (a huge mistake to use an elite player like him look what happened to Goodsie he did his knee). So Knoll was not fit when the opportunity arose

If Gould is fit I think he should come in, Melican out. I still can’t forgive Melican for that awful kick out late in the last quarter against Collingwood. Gould was very impressive at Glenelg last season (I’m a Bays supporter) and if we’re using this season to give these new kids a run, Gould deserves his turn.

I agree but obviously the coaches do not. I am also a Bays fan. By the way you use Cruiser, Max Kruse played for both these footy clubs and was a very good player ay both. He played in the '86 Premiership team.

I guess Melican has Gould's spot and they're giving Lewis another chance.

A bit bummed that Ling is out, but the changes are fair enough.

No Melican is playing the big tall part. Gould would be the Thurlow style part. I still think we are too short down back and if Thurlow plays on Cameron we are in trouble lol.

Mills actually named on Ball, has that happened before ?

I think the success of Fox doesn't help Gould, as he's quite similar.

O'Riordan for Ling and Blakey for ET should improve us. Not sure about the loss of AA. But he looked lost and hurt last game and had no impact. Has the nature of his injury been made public?

Blakey would want to be far better than he's shown so far this season to improve us. COR too.

I wondered the same. Reid and perhaps Mccartin rotate through for a chop out? Fox has done it before but I think he’s been far too good down back to be moving him.

McCartin would be a mistake with his history of concussion

It looked like Aliir shouldn't of even been playing last week. Could barely run at times. McLean and McInerney should be in, both have been promising. Would like us see run McLean in support of Sinkers. Stoked for Foot, but the other two in O'Riordan and Blakey, have been poor this season.

I agree. Late change as Johnny just wakes up 'gee we forgot about 2nd ruck'. But I can't see it. I think they will ruck Dawson which is abject stupidity. But what else can we expect.

Blakey would want to have had a BOG performance in the seconds if he is coming back after only one week. Meanwhile the McLean and McInerney banishment continues. I do not agree with the notion we are trying young players to determine whether they stay on the list or not.

Stephens, Warner, E. Taylor, Ling will all be Swans next year with or without games this year. By this measure we'd give young Swans like Blakey and Rowbottom a break from the seniors, given their spot on the list is assured. We know that would never happen.

Make no mistake .. Longmire is fielding his best 22 possible every week, and McLean and McInerney are not in it.

Well you have Blakey who could not get a kick in an electricity plant in the side. He was poor in the reserves according to observers.

OK you watched the recent scratch matches. Another person I read said they did too. They said Blakey was poor. Did a few things but generally not great. They said he does not do enough. Another thing that has worried me about him this season is that he has not been doing the team thing. Some very selfish acts.
