Its all good and well to debate who deserves to be in the team and who fits into what position on paper but the selection panel also have to take all the match ups into account too. Without considering who is playing on who it's pretty tough to figure out how the team will look.

Possibly Richards. He did a reasonable job on him last year.
I would imagine he will. For Round 19 last year Barry played on Riewoldt and Richards played on Gehrig and both Saints forwards kicked a combined total of 3 goals so i hope Roos does the same thing come Saturday.

We got a pretty informative mag. in the Daily Telegraph, though. If you haven't seen it its worth a buy, not too long, but just a little summary on each team and a larger section on the Swans.
Won't be White. I suspect the sixth "newish" guy he's referring to is Mattner judging by the latest fluff piece on the official website. Though Brennan might get a run too if Richards isn't fit enough (which I suspect he won't be).

roos has specified that mattner will be one of those new faces
i'd love to see white in
i think bird and jack are certainties, and if there's a doubt on richards grundy will probly play that other tall defender's role
barlow surely has to play
the bigger mystery is who'll miss
we know fosdike, crouch, everitt, schneider and dempster will be missing from the 22 that played last year's last game (although barlow played that game)
and if jack is in, bevan must be doubtful
moore comes in for schneider
bird would come in as mid (maybe for mcveigh or mathews)
Mattner is a little small to be a quaterback. Seriously though, I do think Mattner will replace Malceski to some extent, which is unfortunate because the idea was to give Eski a run in the middle this year and still have his position covered. So we're back where we started!
The long-term injury means we have to use Mattner as a fill-in for Eski, instead of having two running HBs (Kennelly and Mattner) plus Malceski in the midfield.
I hope I got that right

Yep, he has been sensational in the pre season. Must be one of the first picked

Spot on.
Jack and Bird have also more than likely secured a spot for rd. 1 due to their pre season form making them along with Moore almost impossible to be overlooked.
In regards to the game I feel that with Maguire out and Hudghton underdone and likely to also miss we must get it in quickly to our key forwards. Otherwise players such as Gram and the Clarke brothers will be able to drop back into space and provide damaging rebound from our F50.
I've just seen on Fox Footy teams, Bird and Moore named as emergencies. McVeigh listed in team (Roosy you haven't let us down - unbelievable). What do those two have to do to get a start - maybe change your name to McVeigh.

That was only the people on Fox Sports Teams guessing the team. It has no basis in fact as they had Peter Everitt in the team even though Paul Roos has said on several occassions that Spida is not avaliable for Round 1 due to injury.
