I predict Sheldrick to get 40+ possessions in his first game not AFL. And some other stuff.
Sub is Roberts (or Cuningham) unless there is a late out.
Can't see them moving Roberts (or Florent) to a wing after playing defence all pre-season.
David King brought up on AFL360 a few minutes ago that Swans were leading at 3 quarter time in 17 games, and we only converted that to 11 wins.
I forgot until this moment how crap our last quarters were last year until this moment.

It's an outside ball movement team with plenty of tricks around the ball. It's what we've been building towards and the injuries have allowed us to embrace it.

I wish they would stop this 'three talls' nonsense.
We do not want Rampe & Blakey playing tall. How much more obvious does that need to be to these journos?
It's hard to say. It makes sense in theory to play a flexible team. But imo we're a bit disjointed when we revert to that. Add that to a experimental forward line - we have to execute everything to perfection or Dee's will break our backs after half time.

Definitely some shocking fade-outs; hated that loss to GWS. And a few games in there where we kicked ourselves out of it (Collingwood, Geelong draw as well as Melbourne and Carlton late), too many injuries. A season to forget!
Much prefer a Syd v Mel season opener instead of Tiges Baggers. Got boring.
Agree. Clearly the coaches love his application but at the moment it hasn't reverted to any impact. He's just there and does the basic things to an acceptable standard. But he needs an end product. Every other player in the team has a clear strength, style and purpose.
The game has moved past vanilla players. They're the types who are crammed into the last 3 in middle of the pack squads because they're alright and don't have anyone better.
I'll be watching him very closely tomorrow to hopefully see what I haven't yet noticed.

??? He's played 4 full games in his career ???
I also don't agree at all that the game has moved past vanilla players. Vanilla is good. It means reliable, it means doing the basics. I would argue it's something we need more of in our team. Have said this many times before but we spend so much time hyping up flashy moments and players but the times when those flashy, perfect moments of really attractive footy happen account for about 1% of a footy game. The other 99% is the meat of the game and what a win is built on.
Resisting the urge to have a Gus melt.

I must say, not on this post, but this years posts from you have been of a quality much better than previous years.
I am impressed. Lots more words. Less aggravation. Stay on topic. Adding the humour.
keep it up young fella.
That’s kinda the basis of my (restrained) melt.
