It has been a remarkable thorough prep.

A year and a half is all the more reason he wouldn't be ready. It's a long time to have not been playing. He'd need a fair bit of match practice and conditioning to be close to his best, lest you risk sending him out there underdone and out of form. It's a risk we needn't take when we have three - evidently four, if Ladhams' pre-season showing was anything to go by - younger talls who are fit and ready to play instead.
I also suspect that if we did bring Reid back quicker than expected, it'd be met with the same scepticism as when he infamously declared himself fit to play in the 2022 GF. So, he probably couldn't win with some fans anyway.

Tbh I’m more than happy to play the McArtey’s and keep Sam as depth. I am 100% sure we will need him.
Falling pianos would be a relatively unsurprising incident - when compared to chain link fences, pub wrestling and tossing around a gridiron ball.
This is the line-up I landed on too, but I have no idea if 1 of Melican/Hamling make the team, and if that means Roberts, Cuningham or Rampe miss.
Fox/Sheldrick effectively the other spot, but whoever misses the 22 should be sub IMO.

The love child of McCartin and Amartey? A future Swans Father-Father-Son star?

I saw a report somewhere that described Jordon as the 'forgotten' recruit. He's barely been out of the Swans news cycle in recdent weeks, but what does that make poor Hamling? So forgotten we've forgotten he's been forgotten?
Not a good sign that Hamling isn't clearly ahead of Melican, who isn't overly loved by the selectors, so another reason to think we'll go in without either of them.
