Changes for Round 12 vs St Kilda

-Rowbottom is in the dreaded fluro cap! For the uninitiated, its commonly used at training to suggest the player is carrying something and not to get rough with them.

Wtf good is that ? Its never made a drop of sense to me

Game day the opponents wont give a rats arse if someone is injured they will not show him that courtesy so we should be preparing our players for that not wrapping them in cotton wool !

I didnt invent it TB, but i believe the idea behind it is to make sure the player actually makes it to game day. What you dont want is someone injuring themselves further on the training track to the point they cant contribute on game day, or worse, they dont end up playing at all!

That was my first reaction, but both Will and Isaac are capable of taking their turns further up the ground, Heeney at centre bounces if need be, and Hayward on a wing.

Heeney was in a stoppage-like photo! Could suggest he sees some midfield time maybe?? Wouldnt be that different to what hes already been doing

I too would like to see Heeney get more midfield time. I think having a suite of players that can go into the middle and make a difference whenever needed would be a great advantage. I think part of that would be to ensure each member of that suite of midfielders gets regular midfield time, and more particularly the bounce.
In recent season we've seen the bounce dominated by just 3 or 4 mids, which may have contributed to a certain predictability. Last year Parker, Kennedy, Florent and Rowbottom dominated - no-one else at 20% or higher. This year Florent's presence has been largely swapped for Mills overall, but both Florent (30%) and Warner (50%) have both featured heavily in particular games.
So if it's Heeney's turn this week - good.

The more i think about it the more thrilled i am that Joel Amartey is getting a game! I can't believe this will be just his second game in four years on the list! Time has really flown!! He must take this opportunity as it may be his last. Key position players do get the luxury of time but theres no guarantee he'll be given a contract!! Make this chance count Joel!! Go you good thing!!

Looking at the training gallery uploaded by the swans there were some interesting things :

-Rampe is always the happiest person on the track is he not??

Unless there's a bollard in the way !
