On the Franklin discussion, Hooker would be a good match up too. And is currently in the top 5 players this season on winning one on ones.

I like your analysis but also wondering if both Colyer and McNeice can make way - feeling like McNeice may stay in the side to help curb the likes of Papley and counter some of the Sydney forward smalls. But Colyer definitely unless Woosha has (another) grand plan that we just don’t know about - Guess we’ll find out soon enough!I'd be thinking:
Ins: Stewart, Stringer, McKenna
Outs: McKernan, Colyer, McNiece
Stewart can play forward and spend a few minutes as 2nd ruck each quarter. Stringer to mix his time between midfield and forward. If we can get Sydney to play a taller backline or get the occasional mismatch when all 3 of Stewart, Stringer and Brown are up there then I'd say that's a small win. The key for our forward line is hit up leading targets and keep on the move, we aren't gonna win the contested marking battle with the personnel we have available. Big test for the supremely in form Fantasia against Smith.
Hurley goes to Franklin. Its clear as day. Hooker can play on someone like McCartin and zone off. At least with both McKenna and Saad in the team we have some genuine pace back there that can help out our other defenders.
Zerrett will get the Hewett tag no doubt but I'd back him in to find a way to still impact the game. Needs to channel his last quarter vs Freo. I think Myers, Langford, Stringer and Heppell will rotate against Kennedy and Heeney at different stages.

Looks like a summary of a press conference.http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-25/swans-confident-of-rebound-against-the-bombers
When you can't let your footy do the talking this is what you resort to. I feel confident all of a sudden. Sure they will come out hard, but they are out of form and fragile. I hope Woosha and the team are smelling the blood.
And to think he could've been an Essendon player..... BUT Ariel SteinbergIf there was one player I'd want to shut out of the game aside from Buddy, it's this kid.

as emergency?Francis to be named apparantly
That's bloody disgusting. He's a champion and has torn us apart many times over those 8 years. One our way isn't too much to ask is it buddy?
We’ve actually never beaten a team with Buddy in it
Good luck bombres, you’re a real chance this week.
Essendon v Hawks Round 7, 09 - Buddy played, kicked 5, yet we won by about 40 points
I’m a Melbourne supporter![]()
He was rusty last week. A lazy 5 snags this weekLooks like Hooker will play forward. Hope he kicks for goal better than last week!
