Swans vs GWS - elimination final

[dejavoodoo44]

The AFL site has already got the finals pathway chart up. If we beat GWS, we then play the loser of Port v Geelong.

Surely we can’t play anyone who is injured- Mills as good as he is at 70% would still be a huge risk and though players will have various niggles, this is very different. Feel for him but this is a final and will be very physical. Best to leave him out and unfortunately the same goes for Joey. They may be right the following week.

So In: Reid and Chad
Out: Mills and McLean. He is stiff but experience counts in a must win final. Robbie the sub.

Yeah, it's an interesting one. One part wants to get finals experience into the likes of McLean but the other part wants the versatility
and finals experience that an old soldier (albeit a somewhat beat-up one) like Reid gives you. It's so hard to go off the Suns game.
We won by 89 or something. The GWS midfield is very imposing. I noticed too that Coniglio was very up and about when he came
on as the sub last night. That bloke has something to prove and he will be an additional handful when he plays a full game. Maybe
go with Reid as he is prepared to get his hands dirty anywhere on the ground.

Good try Stevo and I’m Uninformed 2 for trying to instigate another Rowbottom battle.

You two plus MCS, Fanac and your loyal backers will then try and blame TheBloods for igniting another Rowbottom battle with TheBloods.

You blokes all resemble Pink from the mid 2000s “I’m trying to start a fight”.

TheBloods simply put his changes for the Elimination final team and you guys are trying to restart the fight.

Most people on here think you blokes are attempting to drag this thread off topic to another Rowbottom battle.

The fact that you blokes then all blame TheBloods for the Rowbottom fight after you guys start the fight is very immature.

I expect better from you blokes.

Yet another proclamation without evidence and FFS stop telling me and other posters what your expectations of us are because I for one don’t care. And tell me how do you know what most people think ?
I can tell you now that I have no expectations that you will stop posting your simpering comments in defence of The Bloods because I know you are not better than that.
Simple fact is that there is no Rowbottom fight there is one instigator and one enabler who will not stop a constant unwarranted attack without evidential support on a player who is obviously held in a higher regard by those that count then them.
Not only has this player been incessantly pursued the attacks have been bordering on offensive on occasions.
If you don’t want push back keep it civil and stop hijacking the thread at every possible opportunity.

I think you need to read TheBlood’s response to my post. He only put his ins and outs. People are trying to restart the Rowbottom battle and I’ve simply called them out.

There are two people on this forum who have managed to make Bigfooty civilised by comparison. I would appreciate it greatly if they stopped hijacking threads with their childish thoughts. I wish the mods could ban them so that the rest of this community could enjoy each others observations.

I’m predicting both Mills and Kennedy out.

In Chad

Out Mills

So In: Reid and Chad
Out: Mills and McLean. He is stiff but experience counts in a must win final. Robbie the sub.

And what do each of you propose will happen to Fox? Back to med-sub or something else?

Hey man, that’s pretty funny. I was not expecting a Pink reference from you. Not really my taste, but at least she understood pop should be cheeky and absurdist and fun.

[Bangalore Swans]

I would have Reid as medical sub. Can cover tall back, tall forward and Ruckman. Less structure risk if a big player goes down.

[i'm-uninformed2]

FWIW, I hope either JPK or Mills comes up. Finals demand big bodies around the ball, and particularly given GWS have their best players at the source, it’ll be important.

I’m sure Chad can come in and do a job, but it’s too much to expect he’ll be at his peak and play permanently in the centre square in his first game in three months. He may well come in anyway, but it’s about what we expect of him. A 15-possession, impact game is sufficient.

Taylor and Greene are their only two decent players outside the centre of the ground, so if we match them there we should win. Overall, I’m still confident given we’ve got a more dynamic mix around the ground.

The other contentious one is Reid v McLean. If the coaches are confident they can get second half of yesterday McLean, I’d go with that. There are times in finals where a big, contested mark player down the line matters. I get the case for Reid’s flexibility, but if McLean can stand up he might prove crucial.

Ludwig, I had Fox as sub- called hi Robbie!!

[Doctor]

Reid seems to be the only one who knows how to play the role when Franklin is on the field. McLean, Amartey and McDonald have all been far better when Franklin is on the bench or injured. Obviously they are all younger and less experienced than Reid but that distinction is noticeable to me.

Okay. So you are dropping Fox. Is that the correct interpretation?
