Preview Gold Coast Swans vs Sydney Swans 7PM AEDT 18 Mar 23 @ Heritage Bank Stadium

[caesar88]

Doesnt matter too much these days as players on the bench are rotated onto the ground pretty quickly.

Unless the play is all over the other side of the ground for the first 5 minutes

 

[robbieando]

In: McDonald, Ladhams and Cunningham
Out: Reid, Clarke, Fox and Hickey

Hmm, no Reid, thought he looked fine.

Guess none of us are happy now.

 

[Bloods86]

Hi all! Do you guys expect Cunningham to start foward or on the wing?

Forward or bench

Cunningham making the team is almost a bit of a surprise but with Fox injured it makes sense.

I wonder who will be the sub. Roberts or Sheldrick would seemingly make the most sense.

Imagine how cooked he was out there on GF day.

Still not right 6 months later.

McAndrew would not surprise me at all

 

[caesar88]

why do you wonder that?

Towards the end of last year I noticed that the players wearing different coloured training guernseys/bibs to the rest ended up either in the VFL or started on the bench in the AFL side.

There were a few pictures today of Gulden & Stephens in different coloured guernseys to the rest, so I'll be keeping an eye out to see if they start on the bench, to see if there is something to the training guernsey myth.

 

[Swansujelly]

Semantics, but I would have named McDonal chf and McLean bench, otherwise a solid team.

 

[Bloods86]

McAndrew would not surprise me at all

It would go against our use of the sub for all but one or 2 instances since its inception.

 

[caesar88]

THE BIG MACS UP FORWARD

**** YEAH

 

[Punts]

Same with McLean

Reid must be injured cause he is in before a few forwards imo

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

McDonald needs to step up now

Especially if Reid maybe not best 22

Roaming role? Or plunked in the forward line.

 

[robbieando]

Hmm, no Reid, thought he looked fine.

Injured again

 

[Punts]

Also imo buddy and McLean shouldn’t be in the same side up front

Ball will walk out

 

[RUNVS]

McAndrew would not surprise me at all

Well we do have a coach who decided the first time the sub was introduced last time that Seaby would be the best choice, the only coach that picked a ruckman.

 

[RUNVS]

Also imo buddy and McLean shouldn’t be in the same side up front

Ball will walk out

Heavens help us if the ball hits the deck.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Also imo buddy and McLean shouldn’t be in the same side up front

Long as they dont go for the same ball

 

[Punts]

Long as they dont go for the same ball

Who they gonna catch also

 

[caesar88]

I like that forward line. If I'm Horse I'm wanting Buddy to act as something of a decoy so the other two can create contests, which they both do very well.

McLean will also spend some time rucking to help out Ladhams. I know he's no Reid when it comes to being a second ruck, but we have no one else with experience as a ruck and forward, so it's not like he'll be down there with Buddy & McDonald the whole time.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Who they gonna catch also

That's what Errol and Papley are for.

 

[Punts]

That's what Errol and Papley are for.

Can’t expect that

 

[Donza]

No rants .

 

[Punts]

Liked Logan’s last game presenting and coining up the field

 

[The King!]

hard to moan about round 1 selections really

let's see
