If 80% of the centre square ball ups can have Hickey, Papley, Parker and Chad contesting then I think we can win a fair bit at the source.
After the Swans have won possession they must attack the corridor and switch the ball. We are not big enough with Kennedy and Mills out to win a boundary line contested battle game.
Keep attacking the corridor come what may.Comment

Why wouldn't they have played Robbie Fox as a defensive forward. He certainly knows how to find the footy, is hard at it, has a big tank, is versatile and he can kick goals. What about his great last quarter against Geelong a couple of years back. And one more, can take a decent mark. Would be a genuine wild card.Comment

I don't wanna be harsh on Bell but I'm pretty disappointed he's playing. Hes had so many games to prove himself and hasn't and now comes in for the finals? Bit perplexing. You'd think a few fringe players might be a bit frustrated by his call up.
But God, hope he proves me wrong.
Fox over melican and COR not what I would of picked but not as bad as Bell coming in.
Also just me, but is this the weakest side we've put on the park all year? I admit I'm in a negative mindset, but hard to see us winning with this team.
If we win this, any word on if Kennedy will be likely to play next week?Last edited by longmile; 26 August 2021, 08:29 PM.Comment

Melican makes sense for mine, but I'm suprised they didn't find a spot for Fox in the team.
And lets hope Bell can have a big game on the weekend, but I do fear him having little to zero influence. But as Barry said earlier, they've picked the fake Sam Reid too, so sort of evens it up a bit
One thing is for sure - we need a huge game from Hickey. Not just his ruckwork but his clearance ability too around the ground."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I'm very close to Tasmania, almost Tasmanian you might say, having lived in Cygnet for 10 years. I've contacted some friends way down under and told them to build a corridor under the corridor, only large enough for Tom Papley and Errol Gulden to fit through.
Keep the ball close, very close, to ground level, then pop up when least expected. Can't miss.

A bit sneaky given the way ins and outs are named (or rather not named) with the medi-sub, but Coniglio is an in for the starting side for them after being the medi-sub last weekComment
