Not the same volume as us but Mills, Parker and McCartin are significant outs.

Parker is not an out.

 

[Sector 7G]

Parker is not an out.

Hard to believe he doesn't get a game in front of Taylor Adams. Can't imagine he is happy playing 2s behind Adams and Jordan

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Swans supporters coming on here have been the best I've seen on my time on BF. Seem like a reasonable bunch willing to have a laugh. Kudos

Yep - they show an ounce of class which is rare on BigFooty.

Watch your team get absolutely torched in a couple of grand finals and you get humble real quick.

I would argue that out of the three, McCartin is the only one who would significantly strengthen their team.
I do rate Callum Mills, however Swannies have a plethora of quality mids. His loss, is covered quite well.
Parker is fit, yet not selected. If Adams was to get injured, he would be an ideal replacement.

 

[jj1978]

Harder recently because teams are hyper aware of:
1) The McKay and Curnow ability to dominate
2) How one-dimensional our delivery is to them

Not to mention Curnow isn't in the best of form, despite somehow leading the Coleman race.

Not atm, Ben King in front after last night.

 

[Blue since 72]

If he doesn't watch the VFL and you do, can you give him the answers from your perspective?

Good to see that he can accumulate possessions in VFL - what does he do with all that ball? How is his tackling against bigger blokes ? Is he a better choice than Acres or O Holands in a wing? Who do you see him replacing and why?

Answer these questions and you dont need to be told anything from anyone.

To ODN's point above I don't watch VFL so your perspective would be appreciated.

Edit: Ok don't worry about it just saw your post back to ODN.

I've had to sit through a few torchings - none in GFs

 

[Soapy V]

I hope Cincotta doesn't make way for Williams if his form doesn't improve, when Saad returns.
Reward the players doing their role.
It's hard to fit them all in, Cow will have to wait for the next inevitable injury.

I think with the way our defence is developing the way it is this is the perfect chance to use Williams elsewhere. Cincotta, Kemp, Boyd all need to stay. Cowan will get better and we haven't seen Wilson yet. Williams has a lot of ability and at his best is A grade.

Can we get some quality out of him using him at HF, Mid or Wing? I can see him taking the Docherty role (which we are missing) and working well with E.Hollands

Williams in the Doc role would be perfect - whether he has the endurance/running power to do it with the injuries is the question.

Size of the SCG might let Charles and H get on their bikes.

Charlie to get his Buddy on!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Friday Night Lights with a roast & 27 beers, this is gunna be a ripper!!

As others have said, we match up pretty well with this lot.

Their back 6 is missing a couple & hopefully we can expose them.

If we can get it into our 50 & keep it in there, we’re a real show.

If it starts coming out quick on the turnover, we’re in strife.

Pressure, pressure, pressure.

Baggers by 95.

Oh I dont have a view on Binns at all mate - I literally responded to you what I was thinking would be the way to answer the question - given it is unlikely that teh CLub will ever say anything specific about a player's KPI's to the general public.

Onhere I have noticed a lot of people calling for his inclusion base don his disposal numbers / possessions.....all good but it always boils down to who does he replace and why?

It seems he is on the list as a wingman - so going by the Voss 'next man up' and like for like replacement preferences - he will need to replace one of Acres or Ollie Hollands to get a wing slot - or as a rotation be better value than one of the two mids on the bench.

Injury aside- I cant see him replacing Acres who is one of our better and more reliable performers week to week - so Olliw Hollands is next- - hence my questions - is his disposal better and is his one on one tackling better - assuming he can run as well as Ollie.

I'm guessing that the MC dont see him as being ready just like they dont see Moir as being ready - the latter is more interest to me as far as development goes- because we need a Martin replacement with factor X.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Grand Finals huh? What's that like

Been blessed to have been alive long enough to witness our last five flags on the tv. As for you younger one's, really do hope that you and all of us get to see Vossy and Crippa deliver number seventeen.

 

[Accidental genius]

Gonna be really difficult to get the chocolates this week.

We need to play at our best and bloody kick straight when we get our opportunities.

 

[Swan4Life]

Is Parker really an out though? He's healthy AFAIK

He is an out, but Horse can't just drop any of the midfielders who have been performing at a high level. It would send the wrong message.

Once injury or a bad performance occurs, Parker is almost certain to be selected.

 

[haveago]

BIG, BIG GAME........

Still five bloody hours to go and I have done my chores, at a loose end and pretty toey. (too early for a drink?)

For some reason I have a feeling Sam is going to have a blinder and inspire us to victory.

 

[Number_9]

Swans supporters coming on here have been the best I've seen on my time on BF. Seem like a reasonable bunch willing to have a laugh. Kudos

Very respectable club and supporters are generally quite good from my experience

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I am not a BT fan but would be stoked if he gave us say 3 Orrazzzziooo calls after his 3 goals tonight.......


One can dream

I haven't got a vomit reaction, so I had to give you an angry one. I didn't want to, but BT makes my skin crawl. So, as all my exes would say... it's not you, it's me.

 

[Blue since 72]

Yep, I go to a fair few VFL games, and still of the opinion that Binns doesn't have AFL qualities right now. Not wanting to pot the kid cos he's a real goer, but that's the way I see it.

He racks up plenty of possessions, but isn't particularly damaging in his disposal. He runs all day, but doesn't have leg speed - which is something you would hope, especially from a outside player with a smaller frame. He's also not real great overhead from what I've seen, so you'd be reluctant to kick it to him in a one on one - although the opposition might. Which is why Acres is such a brilliant asset - and why we miss Doc so much who also filled that role.

Either way, he'll get his chance no doubt - he's contracted for another couple of years - but right now, there are others clearly ahead of him.

Thanks for the assessment, appreciate it.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Post was about why mckay and curnow have kicked a total of 2 goals in the last 2 games against Swans.

I agree with your unrelated point though, we have done well to navigate the injuries and still have the record we do.

No my reply is directly related to your post.

Making the point that irrespective of Charles and Harry having lean times recently & v Swans - we’ve still managed to handle ourselves this year so far and when last we played the Swans.

We are not as H&C-centric as many here and media would have you believe.

 

[carlton_99]

There hasn't been an opposition club I have respected more than the Swans in my time following footy. JPK/Buddy some of my all time favourites and I think Longmire has been the best coach in the comp for a while. Classy organisation

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Let's hope Charlie has another Swans defender in tears

Hoping the whole backline is inconsolable - with the appropriate counselling support putting arms around them of course…
