In that case, Sydney Swans sign Gary Rohan for 2025.

Sucks for Mills, but it's probably the right call.

Couldn't agree more. I'll back their decision, rather than congratulate them for "learning a lesson"

I am happy that the club made the Mills decision early.
I think it would have become a distraction all week if the main focus was on whether Mills would be named and then whether he would be a late withdrawal. So happy it got resolved early.

My question is, who does Adams replace in the midfield?
With all of Heeney, Rowy, Chad and Parker in the team, his highest centre bounce attendance is 27% against Port.
He hasn't attended half of CBs in any game, and in the 4 games he's attended 40% or more, 1 of Heeney, Rowy or Chad have been missing in 3 of them (Parker missed the other). In those 4 games, he's had 11 clearances total.
So given his low likelihood of prime midfield minutes, and his low conversion of that into clearances, how does he fix our clearance issues and where do we play him the rest of the time?
This is not a slight on Adams, he is our next best inside mid, but unless one of Heeney, Rowy, Chad (used as the 3rd more dynamic mid) or to a lesser extent, Parker makes way, how does he have the impact people think he will have?
As sub maybe, if Campbell is still impacted by his groin issue.

6 tackles which would have put him 3rd in the Lions team against Cats, seemed hampered later on, which would be the reason to go out of the 23.
I'm coming in late to the party as I've been involved in other threads during my limited free time. This has probably already been mentioned a few times in the previous 40 odd pages but I'm posting it anyway.
To all the 20 odd pretend doctors and physios who continued to tell us all ad nauseum that we had to drop JMac, I say to you "Hang your heads in shame"'
Thank God the match committee are far more intelligent than you lot.
Of course he looked rusty in the qualifying match. That was to be expected but had he not played that he would have not had enough match game time to ready himself for a grand final.
It was wonderful watching him running down his wing and delivering bullets to our forwards. Sure, he had limited game time last week but it was enough to have him primed for this week. Without JMac doing what he does on his wing and Errol being Errol on his, our chances of winning this GF would be so much less.
So, I'd suggest in future, save your medical opinions to those who know what they are talking about.

We are well down and gf winners are higher in this category

He didn't just look rusty, he didn't look to be moving like he usually does.
It's a risk that paid off and I'm glad it did. They don't always, but easy to gloat in hindsight.

Firstly I agreed with selecting Jmac and made the same point you are now. But you cannot be serious with the hang your heads in shame line, turn it up.
People didn't attack Jmac personally.
I would start Fox in the 22 as I think he would be great match up for Rainer. Campbell can go back to being the Super sub.

I'd suggest he keeps his distance from Mad Monday this year.

Robbo just actually spoke some sense. A fitness test isnt as long or as arduous as a full game. \he may have only lasted a quarter, that’s not a risk Horse should take. Remember Reid got through a fitness test. Phil Davis only just passed (if you could call it that) on the ground, all of 10 minutes of it) I think the right decision has been made, it’s unfortunate for Mills, but realistically, he’s been out for 2/3rds of the season, and then got injured again. It was never going to end well.

If Campbell gets up, I think he should be the “super” sub (per Giants game) and Robbie “Mr GF” Fox to come into the 22 … reckon he’s a great matchup for Rayner.
C’MON, THIS IS OUR YEAR!!
PS. If Campbell doesn’t get up, I’d be more than happy with Adams’ experience and toughness.

I went outside to do some work calls and a baby plover was there , didn't realise. As the mother plover started to swoop and i ran inside like a baby, it occurred to me, we will win.
