Preview 2024 Round 15 GWS Vs Sydney

[bedford]

And remove who? McLean is backup ruck so he needs to stay. Joel just kicked 9, be a strange move to give him a rest. So Logan is the one who needs to go? I don't think Hamling can match his work up and round the ground.

Remember Logan doesn't leave the square and has to kick 4

 

[dosser]

can we also start playing logan further up the ground earlier in the game

he makes his appearance in 2nd half of games when he starts moving up, just do it earlier to get him involved

I actually don't know, but could it be that Logan goes up the ground all the time, but it isn't until the 2nd half that he has burned off his opponent and starts to get separation?

 

[BloodySwan]

This will make no sense, maybe I am not explaining it right but the more we win the less I want to lose. Yeah derr I know.


But if you said pre season we win 15-17 games I would say cool beans!! But now we only have lost 1 by a kick the more I want to just want to keep that going.

The next game we lose this board will be calling for Horses head

Maybe we should jump the queue and start now?

I mean, imagine being the coach who lost to Richmond this year...

Confirmed: Horse is as bad as Nicks

Confirmed: Horse is as bad as Nicks

Sack Horse, Hinkley and Nicks!

 

[Millky95]

Sack Horse, Hinkley and Nicks!

I always liked the fever dream of Horse getting back to back this year and next, retiring, we sign a freshly sacked Hinkley in 2026 who beats Port in the GF for our threepeat by a record 120 points

To be replaced with the great AFL forward in Hamling too! Must have missed him turning into Plugger Lockett for Freo

it's this forward thinking that marks you as a trendsetter ... i'm in ... sack longmire, he's had his chance!

In the mix, R15: Who's under the pump, pushing for selection?

Our reporters predict all the ins and outs ahead of round 15

www.afl.com.au

The Swans could welcome back Robbie Fox (shoulder) against GWS this week and the versatile 31-year-old could be given the sub vest, like he was against the Giants in round eight. Matt Roberts could return to the starting side having been the sub last week, which could see Braeden Campbell dropped to the twos. Callum Mills is back in full training but is still a few weeks away from a return, with a comeback game in the VFL a possibility before he gets back into the senior side. The likes of Joel Hamling (in his new role as a forward), Aaron Francis, Caiden Cleary and Caleb Mitchell continue to impress at VFL level, but it's hard to break into this Swans side at the moment. - Martin Smith

Last week's sub: Matt Roberts (replaced Hayden McLean

Be very happy if those are the changes, Fox sub, and Roberts in.

One poster will immediately start the Sack Hinkley I thread the day Hinkley signs here /jk

I mean if the sack Hinkley thread isn't posted at the same time as the welcome Hinkley thread I'll be disappointed

I'd actually like a bit of a change. Fox in, Roberts managed (his calf rested), Campbell to VFL and Mitchell sub.
We talk about using our depth. Here's a chance.

Agree.

Surely if Matty is not right we don’t play him. Happy enough with Mitchell as sub.

It was a pity Cleary was a bit off the boil in the last game. Another dominant game would have seen him close to a debut.

If Campbell is dropped I reckon he should get a couple of weeks in the mids as a tune up.

Not in a derby. Way too many. Keep it simple, Campbell VFL. Roberts HBF and Fox sub. Play our best side we need it

Let the banter begin

 

[giantsully]

Let the banter begin

Hell, yeah - Speed 2 anyone? Dumb and Dumberer? Return to the Blue Lagoon?

[Admittedly, Paddington 2 was pretty special]

Looked like Giants played all of Cadman, Hogan, Riccardi and Brown last week so I suspect Fox may be an in.

For mine Fox in IS our best side.
The question is who is the best sub at the moment out of Campbell, Roberts or Mitchell. IMO Roberts needs a rest, Campbell is playing with a lack of confidence and Mitchell is coming off a BOG against the VFL leaders.

May this game be Aliens, The Godfather Part 11, Toy Story 2 like........

 

[caesar88]

Or may I even be so bold as to say... Toy Story 3?

Or is that reserved for when we beat GWS in the GF?
