Yeah, I wasn't sure myself. I had a thought last night -- 6 day break with them flying out on thurs, I wondered what if they did decide to do the main session today. But I didn't know for sure until I got there.
Not really tbhAny hints at training about potential line-up changes for Friday night?

I doubt there will be much change.Not really tbh
Looks like Frampton will play again.
and Lippa comes into the 22
but other than that. No clues at all, and Fly didn't give much in his presser.
Yeah. Fly said Sullivan would be in the conversation as he can provide that mid-forward role. So If anything that could be the only change. Maybe One of Long/HH or Richards sub?I doubt there will be much change.
Lippa into the 22 for JDG. Long or Sullivan? Who as sub? That's about it I would have thought.
Such a pity there wasn't a VFL game last week to get some form into Joe, Harvey etc. Richards hasn't played since the ordinary Hawks game.Yeah.

Yeah, I assumed it was done that way last week because of Pendles 400th. Plus the AFLW were scheduled to train on the thurs.That's how they structured last week's 6 day break isn't it? Maybe they liked it as a point of difference.

I guess, or completely underdoneOn the plus side, whoever comes in should be fresh.
For someone who hates to be negative, you’re very good at it.Quaynor has been horrible recently, hate to be so negative but he isnt giving us any run, has a habit of standing in packs with bigs and not guarding in front or behind where the dangerous smalls lurk, always out of position. maybe he is just trying to lock down under coaches messeges but its not great right now. Noble wasn't much better tbh
Ned long matched on cripps looked like a schoolboy playing senior footy for the first time, had 0 idea what he was doing and we would have lost most of center clearances he attended. Did a couple of okay things ball in hand but looked like he was out of his depth for most of the night.
Our kicking to our forwards has been average, so many intercept marks against, not sure they are battling to bring it to ground as much as they should. Having cox down there helped though, wonder if freddy comes back in to chop mcstay out a little.
Now we are losing guys like JDG and titch for the rest of the year the young fellas need to step up, perfect opportunity for them in the next 3 weeks
agree with some of Q comments ..have written elsewhere about his performances this year.Quaynor has been horrible recently, hate to be so negative but he isnt giving us any run, has a habit of standing in packs with bigs and not guarding in front or behind where the dangerous smalls lurk, always out of position. maybe he is just trying to lock down under coaches messeges but its not great right now.

Simple fact - we won (don't care how close). Before the game Blose were 3rd, we were 12th? After we kicked the 1st goal we were never headed - in front forQuaynor has been horrible recently, hate to be so negative but he isnt giving us any run, has a habit of standing in packs with bigs and not guarding in front or behind where the dangerous smalls lurk, always out of position. maybe he is just trying to lock down under coaches messeges but its not great right now.

Swans' mids a different proposition this week. I'd stick with Long to play a similar role but wouldn't (for example) let Lipinski anywhere near CB. All of Pendles, Long & Lipinski at CB would make us ponderous.
I would be looking at bringing in Reef, rotating Beau and Reef between mid and HF.Pace and sticking tackles is going to matter against them. McCreery is the best bet, but not sure if we will be willing to lose his ability to stop transition in his defensive forward role.
We have to recognize that McCreery is too fumbly to be a first line midfielder. He has many excellent characteristics, but taking clean possession when in tight is just not one of them. A real midfielder, like Lachie Neale, never fumbles. McCreery is an outstanding pressure forward. Play him there. He is a passable midfielder, who only gets and extracts the ball about half the time when it comes to him in a pack.
Beau offers grunt and speed - which are the primary considerations in covering our mid deficiencies.We have to recognize that McCreery is too fumbly to be a first line midfielder.

hands aren't the cleanest for sure but everything that make him an elite pressure forward - super quick, explosive, strong /physical, aggressive tackler - would translate to make him an excellent defensive CBA player (in short bursts).We have to recognize that McCreery is too fumbly to be a first line midfielder.
