Matthew Laidlaw, Kristin Thornton, Jesse White and Jarrad Moore

Should all be given a go. I think it's about time to bring in some youth and enthusiasm and the Swans should be playing more attacking style of Football each week instead of against certain teams. What are your thoughts?

I'm not for making wholesale changes just yet. But I think we could argue that Keiran Jack is an example of bringing in some youth and enthusiasm. And Bevan's inclusion certainly reeked of trying something different from what we've seen so far this year.

My concerns are that we currently have Hall and Goodes playing below 100% fitness (and now Leo Barry from the look of things) - and both players are crucial to our structure.

And we have Crouch, Davo, Amon, Ablett - and to a lesser extent Bevan all playing in the side coming back from injuries - long term injuries in Crouch's case. So I'm not exactly surpised to see that our playing group isn't exactly purring along at the moment. But I'm sure things will improve with every game.

They'll have to.

Laidlaw and White are the most exciting prospects from the ones you mentioned.

Laidlaw would add some pace and athleticism to our midfield while White would give us an extra KPP.

But neither will get a go unless there's an injury or two. Our selection policy is ****ed. Too many guys who expect to be picked each week.

McVeigh, Bolton and Fosdike should all be under the pump, yet you get the feeling that their selection is almost guaranteed each week.

We need to make a statement by dropping a big name, just to show the rest of the guys that they actually need to earn selection. Guys will play better when their spot is in jeopardy.

Good thought but one unlucky player you have forgot is T. Schmidt, and then there is Phillips,Brabazon so I guess all eyes are on what happens in the seconds today

is it just me, or do others agree that our midfielders and smaller players struggle to snap goals??? other clubs seem to have players who can kick goals from out their a.ses, especially against US! but we've got mcveigh, j bolton, fosdike and buchanan, to name four, who have atrocious records kicking for goal on the run, well, in snap scenarios....throw kirk into that too......we're killing ourselves

 

[SWANNIES RULE]

Buchanan and Schneider are our goal kicking-midfield er types, but they've been down in terms of goal kicking lately.

 

[Bloods boy from the Bush]

I'd like most of our given a go at some stage this season but we don't want too many in the team at one time just 2 or 3 at time if they look the goods keep them in if not try someone else.

I know about the new players Laidlaw, Thornton, etc. but don't forget Grundy. I think he deserves to get another game as he hasn't had enough game time on the field and he could be the next potential Barry Hall or the next Michael O'Loughlin.
