Preview R4 Sydney vs West Coast "Gather Round"

[Heeney2Franklin]

Yeah. Hopefully. From where?
Has he played yet?

Hamling for Rampe
Adams for Mitchell

 

[MF]

So if Rampe, Parker and Mills are all out, who captains the side

Would love to see Heeney given the responsibility

 

[The King!]

Would love to see Heeney given the responsibility

We will eventually work out the secret leadership group thanks to injury

 

[Jack Lord]

So if Rampe, Parker and Mills are all out, who captains the side?

Wicks!

 

[dosser]

Yeah they didn't recruit Adams to play ressies

Cunningham is a no brainer. He offers defensive pressure. Something Lloyd (who will stay) lacked.

Wicks can be sub.

Depending on Rampe. Francis may get a run.

Francis won't replace Rampe, they will simply move Fox back to replace him. Cunningham, Wicks and Adams for Rampe, Corey and Mitchell.

 

[dosser]

I want to see us playing like desperadoes and take it to the limit next match. Today's game was just one of these nights.

 

[Bloods86]

So if Rampe, Parker and Mills are all out, who captains the side?

Heeney, Papley, or Lloyd. I don't know if we even named a leadership group this year, but they've been in it. I'd go with Heeney, been the most consistent so far, leading where it counts.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I think Adams would only be 50/50 to come in at this stage

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I think Adams would only be 50/50 to come in at this stage

Agree. Probably was 60% tog in the twos. One brain fade aside, thought he played well. They will be really interested in how Taylor pulls up tomorrow, I doubt he plays on the dogs Barking at goats track.

Cunningham comes in for Rampe

If good to go, Wicks comes in for Hayward.

Corey is an out for me and I'd keep Mitchell. Magor was our best in the twos today and adds some pace.

Corey and Hayward have plenty to work on in the twos and should go hell for leather in the scrimmage with GWS.

Every Swan over 190cm had games to forget. Unfortunately the only tall worth a handful of post game jelly beans was Will Edwards. To put it kindly Reid was not interested and Ladhams was dumb and selfish.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Would love to see Heeney given the responsibility

Even though he deserves it, I think he's played worse as captain in the past. Thrives more under less responsibility.

 

[S120]

Wouldn’t imagine Adams comes in normally on the back of little training and one half of a VFL game. But wouldn’t you know it, VFL side doesn’t play this week as they have a bye.

So will be very interesting to see what they do - maybe they bring him in but I suspect they’ll be conservative given his injury history.

Suspect at this stage it’ll be Wicks in for Warner, Mitchell to sub, Cunningham in for Rampe.

 

[Punts]

Reckon Francis might play for Rampe

Francis
Harry
Adams
Wicks

All in imo

 

[Punts]

Lloyd should be for Harry imo

Wicks for Hayward

Francis for rampe

Adams for Warner

Hayward sub

 

[BloodySwan]

Out: Mitchell, Corey, Rampe
In: Adams, Wicks, Cunningham

I can't decide who is to be the sub.

We need some inside grunt. I know we got on top of the tigers in that department but when they were winning the stoppages they were winning the game.

If Adams will be fit enough for a full game at VFL he'll be fit enough for a full game against the Eagles

Adam’s sub?

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

No chance of Hayward getting dropped - he should be but won’t be

 

[BloodySwan]

Adam’s sub?

I can make an argument for Adams, Wicks, and Cunningham all being a good choice for the sub

 

[SeanM]

No chance of Hayward getting dropped - he should be but won’t be

Hayward kicked 3 goals in the previous game. I feel they would take that into account.

Also I think they would want Hayward as a medium forward marking target, so they can use Heeney in midfield.

 

[Jewelsbon]

I think Adams will come in, probably wouldn't if we were playing any other side but even before yesterday, the clearances would still be a concern for the coaching staff and Adams brings what we need.

 

[BarneyBent]

I'd like to see Fox moved into defence to cover Rampe. Not sure how bad Rampe is but no need to risk him against WC and with a bye after, just give him the two weeks to get himself right.

I know we got smashed in the clearances but I'd also like to see Adams get a full VFL game under his belt before returning. I'd roll the dice against a better side, but against WC I say there's no rush.

Out: Rampe, Corey (if Cunningham is fit)
In: Wicks, Cunningham (if fit)

Edit: just realised it's a VFL bye. That being the case Taylor probably comes in after all.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

No VFL game this week, with the bye to follow is putrid scheduling.

Adams & Gus really missing out on important on-field tune ups.

 

[Jeffers]

So if Rampe, Parker and Mills are all out, who captains the side?

Well Hayward was in the leadership group I think

Anyways wonder if the unknown ground equalises things a bit for the Eagles.

Our forward line pressure was non existent so you’d hope wicks is back in, if not give Konstanty a chance at it.

No excuse re: unknown ground.

Oh I definitely expect us to bounce back strong with no mercy after yesterdays debacle.

Just thinking the Swans don’t usually get to play H&A games that are not your usual grounds. Only a random tassie game here and there. Can be a different feel for the players mentally.

The whole “Konstanty is a pressure forward” thing is a myth (so far).

You only have to watch the VFL for a few quarters to come to realize it.
