He could be the fulcrum of our attack?

Noticed Dean Cox off to the side.
Draft night Dean Cox only assistant coach in the Swans draft room.
Longmire & Cox went off together to attend a short course at Harvard over the break.
Really does seem a case of when, not if.
Doesn't seem as though Hamling is in.

Yep, would confirm Hamling has not been selected, which isn't a huge surprise. Just behind Melican in the pecking order it would seem for now for a key defensive role. Though I think it's a toss up whether even Melican will be selected for this first game anyway against a smaller Dees forward line. Good to have more depth though now in those positions.

Always said Melican would be in if fit

I think Hayward works really well on the negating roles so might be him on Lever instead as he is more likely to score
Haha Ticky there is noway that would be the actual addressing if Cameras were not rolling.
Enjoyed it tho
There is every chance he wont seek a new contract when this one expires

We'll see, think it's closer to a 50/50 call. Won't be surprised either way. Personally prefer the smaller, more mobile and pacey backline when you can get away with it.
Seemed to be eye to eye with Horse for goodness sake! As you say though, they all seem like that IRL - I saw Adams at Bondi Beach recently and was taken aback by his size.

IMO if we go with just McCartin, Rampe & Blakey, that's not a mobile medium backline, it's just undersized. And that's the very thing we've been trying to remedy through our trade interest in Moore, Barrass, Hamling etc in recent years. I don't know why we'd voluntarily put ourselves back in that position now with a fit and (seemingly) in-form Melican available. Two key defenders is pretty standard across the competition and it hasn't seemed to make those defences any slower.
Was best 22 start of 2022 season. Was starting in all pre season matches this season.
Where there's smoke....
Freeing up Rampe is nothing but a positive as well.
The caesar88 mandate is to #FreeRowbottom, not #freesirdane.
But will Horse tolerate so much freedom among his people?
The problem is Rampe is not the player he used to be. Now that is not his fault as we all get older but we can't expect him to be able to do what he used to be able to do 5 years ago.
Exactly. 5 years ago he was playing undersized on the No.1 key forward. With Melican in, he can take soneone his own size/intercept/provide some rebound
Sobering point:
We are going to start favourite in neither of our opening 2 games.
A week ago, we were warm favourites against Melbourne. As of this afternoon, we're the outsiders.

Why are you putting a limit on how many players can be free, Dubai Oppressor?
Your nickname suggests a certain unwillingness to afford freedoms to the subservient classes, oh great emperor!
Always was.
