    Surely they could just swap with the home game v St Kilda later in the season. We Victorian members don’t want to lose another game.
    That would be the sensible solution. So the odds are that the AFL won't do that.

      In Hickey if he is fit, out Sinclair (Who I thought improved yesterday a lot). Alternatively, could have McLean come out - although I agree with some others that he is playing a role most weeks for the team, even if the personal stats are limited.

      Stephens probably on notice but stays in for mine for now.

        If Hickey is fit, then he comes in for Sinkers. I'm okay with Sinkers, but he is our 3rd ruckman and not quite good enough to be the #2 forward. If he were a developing young forward, I would take a different view, but there's little to be gained playing Sinkers as a forward when we have 3 developing key forwards in McLean, Amartey and McDonald needing developing time. I would rather save the spot for one of them. I would be more patient with McLean, except that we have others waiting to take a turn in the seniors. The way McLean performed the past 2 games, we could hardly do worse regardless who we bring in to replace him. Maybe another combo will work better with Franklin. Worth a look.

        If Fox comes in, I don't think it should be for Brand, who played well and we need the height. I would like to give Stephens another week, but he would be the one to drop if we want to include Fox.

          Oooh, hand wringing at Match Committee again this week. Think they'll go minimal changes.

            IF Hickey is well, bring him back.
            Still leave Blakey out.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
            Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                Looking at their back half, it would be fine to leave the forward group as it is. I thought Brand did some nice things, not sure he is as mobile as Melican but nevertheless did nothing wrong and would be stiff to miss out if the team selection feel that Rampe on Membrey, McCartin on King and Fox on Coffield or Dawson on coffield is all we need this week then Brand misses out. .

                The VFL team hasn’t played so would leave Stephens on the team but geez he needs to stop looking over his shoulder to check if he is doing the right thing or not and play some instinctive footy. At the moment he just appears that he is getting lost in the structure and doesn’t know what he is supposed to be doing.

                Hickey for sinkers

                  While Buddy is up and running bring in Logan to learn from the master. Who goes out, I have no idea.

                    The Saints' forward line is likely to be somewhat different than you think. They played Mason Wood on Saturday and also pushed Josh Battle forward. With King and Membrey, they could have 4 tall marking targets if they play them all at the same time. I think Brand should take King and the other 3 can be covered by McCartin, Dawson and Rampe. We shouldn't be beaten for height with these matchups.

                    The Saints' also have plenty of small forwards who can hit the scoreboard. Billings played well on Saturday. The matchups are hard to pick as there are so many options.

                    Their goal kicking has been horrid this year. But you never know when an out of form side finds the goals. The Saints' have the personnel to win on, but simply haven't performed on the field.

                      Nothing to do with football, but I'd thought you'd like to know. It's half time at my local trivia comp. The final question of the round was, "True or false: pigs can absorb oxygen through their rectums?"

                          Ch 7 news tonight reported the game this week will be played at the SCG (and not Cairns as tipped).

                              Keep following RWO and you'll never lose a trivia comp again.

                              High quality footballs are still made from pig skin, but the ones made from rectally infused oxygen pigs can be very pricey.

                              Is a barrel kicked football called a pork barrel? Could be a trick question.

                              Here's something to keep in mind in case you come up against some RWO members in the trivia comp: Columns have bottoms. Rows have stubs.

                                Swans.com.au are reporting the same.
