Round 1: Brisbane v Swans @ the Gabba

[dejavoodoo44]

No change in selected 22 but the starting position changed as below:

FB [34] Jordan Dawson, [30] Tom McCartin, [29] George Hewett

HB [7] Harry Cunningham, [24] Dane Rampe, [44] Jake Lloyd

C [22] Nick Blakey, [26] Luke Parker, [13] Oliver Florent

HF [45] Sam Wicks, [20] Sam Reid, [8] James Rowbottom

FF [21] Errol Gulden, [41] Hayden McLean, [5] Isaac Heeney

FOL [31] Tom Hickey, [14] Callum Mills, [11] Tom Papley

IC [16] Braeden Campbell, [1] Chad Warner, [12] Josh P. Kennedy, [6] Logan McDonald

Which is more in line with most people's thinking. Although it still has Papley as a follower and Kennedy on the bench.

In recent games, Swans very often played not too well in the first quarter and by the time we came back usually at the end of second Q , we had too much to catch up and finally ran out of gas in the final Q. I think having Kennedy on the Bench and Papley starting at first bounce may be an attempt to start really FAST and have a good start!

That makes more sense.

I didn't expect both Reid and HcLean to start forward. So our KPDs are McCartin, Rampe and Dawson?

[longmile]

Very nervous ....

Footy is back!

[Ralph Dawg]

McLean warming up with forwards as is Reid, Mills with mids. Looks like we're going short for defence........

A fast start would be handy. Looks like the rain might hit, somewhere between quarter time and half time.

Nice that Gulden is starting. I expect him to have a big debut.
