Preview Elimination Final - Sydney Swans vs GWS, 3:20pm, Saturday August 29 @ UTAS, Launceston

[bedford]

Horse not ruling out Mills and Warner revolves around Mills , JFK etc . Happy with Stephens and doesn't worry about the outside noise

 

[Punts]

Warner should be in in front of Campbell regardless of others imo

 

[SwansProudly]

A fun stat from our win against GWS earlier on this year. Never count us out!

could someone please explain the graph?
From the Y-axis, Swans had a win probability > 75% from half way through the 3rd quarter.

 

[SM]

Healy on Monday suggested Warner was in so must have had some mail on that.

 

[caesar88]

Warner should be in in front of Campbell regardless of others imo

Yep Campbell will be a gun in the future but Warner can impact more this week even if he's only on 60-70% TOG.

Hope JFK is selected, we need a leader with a good head on his shoulders.

Lee Harvey lining up for GWS?

Jack Ruby has been named the medical sub

 

[Punts]

Warner is a bigger body but has break away speed from congestion that no other mid has in our team

I must be missing something if he isn’t selected this week

Can be our best mid in 3 years

Good long distance goalkicking on the run too, super valuable in today's game

I guess it will depend on JPK and Mills. If they play then there probably isn't room in the midfield for him and it becomes a matter of whether they think they can get value out of Warner on a wing/half forward (I think we can, so I hope they do.)

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Sensing a bit of a trend with our games this year.
Swans had big lead, lose game
Giants had big lead, lose game

Nothing is certain until the final siren, that's for sure

A sequence from a sample of two ain't really worth gettin' worked up about.

Gold!

NOTES: The Swans are sweating on the fitness of Mills and Kennedy who are both in serious doubt for the knockout final. The call on Mills might be left until the pre-game warm-up to find out how his Achilles responds. Young gun Warner is ready to return for his first game since round 12 after starring in his fourth scratch match since recovering from injury, while Stephens is another option to boost the midfield. Forward-ruck McLean has done enough to hold his spot ahead of veteran Reid but it will be a close call on whether Fox or O'Riordan starts in defence or as medical sub. - Martin Pegan

 

[Daniel B]

Hope JFK is selected, we need a leader with a good head on his shoulders.

"We will win the premiership this season not because it is easy, but because it is hard."

In: Chad Warner, Robbie Fox
Out: Callum Mills, Colin O'Riordan

Why not just listen to Horse tonight , not imbeciles

Agreed, but I guess so was Fox when he was dropped

 

[bedford]

Agreed, but I guess so was Fox when he was dropped

No he wasn't had a couple of bad games

 

[Donza]

Agreed, but I guess so was Fox when he was dropped

I like Fox on the bench. He can play a bunch of roles.
COR. Not quite as much.

 

[Grongey]

If JPK snd Callum aren't 100%, then coaches please, just leave them out.
Let's get in there swinging, with 22 fit players.
If we're good enough, we'll be able to leook at these boys again next week..
Nothing worse than carrying bench players in a final..

what players 100 percent though? bet heeney never is for example

 

[Kapers]

Yah, maybe we we've decided on fox to be the medical sub over the finals?
Able to play anywhere, and not first pick for any position. If a mid, winger, defender, or forward go down he can provide in that space? Vaguely remember him playing in the ruck at times as well (because of his leap, I know he's short for a ruckman)

Could also just be picked for the team and shut me up

 

[Parky79]

Not happening , i'm keeping the faith in the boy

Melican needed for one of their big boys. Rampe to Greene!!
