I think we could use another key defender. Miss Aliir. Maybe we can bring Melican back, or even give Gould a shot. I don't think Rampe is doing that well playing an undersized defender. He would be a lot more useful playing on a midfielder or trying to roll off his man and help out in other contests.
With Dawson taking most of the kick-ins and Campbell being the other main kicking option out of defence, we should move Lloyd to the midfield. His role in defence has disappeared since we are now kicking the ball long out of defence. We are a very different team the way we move the ball downfield this year and have to rethink our player roles. There's going to be a bit of experimenting until we get it right.
Adelaide played better than I thought they would. The game v Geelong wasn't a fluke. Their main on ballers outplayed our guys. Rowbottom would be a help, but we have to do better winning clearances.Comment

They didn't even list Ronke and Rowbottom on the injury list, even though it was noted in the injury update website article. Brand is not injured, but it's not clear when he will have done enough contact training to be available for selection. But when he is, he should be in the mix.
The Swans are terrible at injury and reserves coverage. And now with pressure on the soft cap, we must be short on media people. Why can't we get a work experience kid to pick up the slack? Or don't they do things like that anymore?Comment

Let’s get excited about the kids coming through. Enjoy Buddy& Joey while we still have them. The future is looking pretty nice for our SWANNIES.??I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Game time commentary. I posted after the game that Buddy and Logan were on the bench for a lot of the last quarter, hence less rotations or we ran out of rotations.Comment

But despite some terrible umpiring decisions for HTB , our young brigade really put in a great effort.Comment

it’s a case of warm the set & Cool the tinnies for the tigers next week. As long as we give the Tigers a bit of a touch up and don’t make it easy for them it’s all we can really ask of our lads.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

I thought Lloyd, Rampe and Cunningham had shockers. Poor decision and skill errors. Luckily the Crows couldn’t kick a goal as if they converted most of the easy shots we would have been in deep trouble.
