With Lynch & Balta out, we might go 1/4 over the next month. If we do, then we are no chance of top 4. We got 2/4 or 3/4, we are still a good chance to get that spot if we keep winning with our best team in. The lack of depth could cost us dearly over the next month, lets hope Cumberland can be a revelation
they will both be back for the port game and lambo too

The umpires are actively looking to pay free kicks against Richmond and our forwards nearly have to be molested to get a hint of a free kick.

The players cannot show dissent because heaven knows even a hint of it from a Richmond player and its 50 metres

So if this does not change I suggest the Richmond players show legal dissent, when there is a stoppage and our players are in possession of the ball

do not hand the ball back to the umpire just place it on the ground walk away and let them pick it up.

50 metres,another new rule added to the Richmond rule book.
 
Not sure we need a Miller even if Gibcus plays forward. Grimes -> Buddy, Tarrant -> Logan McDonald. Broad/Vlastuin can handle resting Hickey/Ladhams.
That's true. Neither Hickey or Ladhams has been used forward much for the Swans. Perhaps it opens a spot back up for Hugo?

I find it really really weird that they no longer keep stats on 50's given away & received.

I mean, they made a rule to make them a bigger part of the game, then removed it from being able to easily see the results.

For about 30 years it was tracked, but now in the generation of analytics, its no longer available. Odd
 
Money was the issue
He would of been a depth player earning best 22 money if we tried to match what Gold Coast are paying

That’s just bad list management


Bad management is not replacing him. At all.

As ive said before Levi Casboult was right there. Sure you do not have to pay him $400k or whatever the number was (we actually could have gotten him for around $150-200k a year earlier & he was keen) - but to not replace him at all and leave a gaping hole in the list was also pretty bad list management.

It still would of cost us another player or pick at the draft
Who would you of delisted that we re rookied?
Biggie or cumbo?
Or just wasted a top 30 odd draft pick by not using it?

Mind you that’s all before you take into account he was taken pick 3 in the rookie draft, 5 picks before we even had one

We still have plenty of talls on the list and only unfortunate because Balta and Lynch are injured at the same time

interesting not enough love for dan to sneak him in somewhere.

but hard to argue with the coaches
i think we all knew with parish his 40+ was a bit vanilla :p

Liam Baker has polled playing a very similar role nearly every game he has played back there so far.

No way you pay Dan $600k. where did that number come from? It's surely very incorrect

Dan is stil, by far - the least vote getting back in a similar role. We all might not agree & i will say you all have some good points to make on his positives - but there is also a lot of decent proof that he is playing a one sided game so far & i might have a point or 2 as well, heh?
 
TBH I think the SCG is not a bad ground in the circumstances to be without Lynch given its smaller size. Once the ball hits the deck it can be transitioned from one end to the other very quickly.

A smaller forward line in my opinion helps us to lock it in there more efficiently. It might also have the effect of making our mids lower their eyes a little instead of just bombing it inside 50.
I agree with this - SCG is small and it will be a damp slippery night - lots of close in contests and sloppy balls kicked forward.
Not a good match for a big marking player like Tim Lunch, Jack much more suited IMO.

Bring in Cumberland & Stack I reckon and get a ground ball frenzy going on....

I was happy to take a punt on Casboult and Brander, we just needed the depth.

Brander has not been much chop but Levi has been a revelation for the Suns. Brander might have been better with us, who knows.

I wasn;t wanting to invest anything of value into the role, just depth for depths sake - even on the rookie list etc

But who’s spot would you have sacrificed for them?
Brander on the main list
Casboult would of cost us Biggies spot on the list

dunno about Stack, but Cumberland has definitely earned his chance

What ??

Were you not the person telling us Jack Riewoldt is finished and will or should retire ?
Now your telling us we should have recruited Casboult 12 months earlier when we already had Chol & CCj on the list with no knowledge we would lose both

Where would he have played in 2021 and the first 10 games of 2022 ?
Ridiculous post

You haven’t answered the question though. Who would you remove from our current list to make space for Casboult or Brander?

Jake Aarts, Jack Ross, Matthew Parker - play roles we don't need as much

Wasn't that keen on Robbie Tarrant & Miller, would take 1 out of those 2 only probably
