Preview Round 18 2018 Sydney Swans hosting the Gold Coast Suns Saturday 2:10 PM AEST

Congrats to Cameron. He's been pushing for a while now.

 

[caesar88]

When’s horse made management calls before?

All year long really, resting players with niggles whereas in previous years he's let those niggles develop into worse injuries.

Like who?

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Another week of what? He's not injured.

Exactly

 

[RUNVS]

I would have rested Kennedy personally as this is the one game he can afford to miss, but I am not Longmire.

I am glad Cameron is getting a go though as he deserves it.

 

[The King!]

If Grundy is hypothetically getting the ROK treatment, then Jack and Hannebery should be counting their lucky stars

It makes no sense at all

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Never thought I’d say this but Robinson is very stiff to be dropped!

No Foote thank goodness was worried all week!

Yeah thought Robbo was good


Foote won’t ever play seniors for Sydney again, wouldn’t worry

 

[Donza]

Great change

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

3 talls should be interesting

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thought Robinson would keep his spot, he was good last week.

 

[momentbymoment]

Considering I have been calling for Cameron ever since Reid went out, I am pretty happy. I hope Sinclair can have a bigger impact forward and around the ground now that he won’t be carrying the ruck.

 

[caesar88]

Like who?

Round one - Reid a late out, holding out from rushing Hanners back in

He's also been conservative and resisted playing blokes like Heeney, Jones, McVeigh and Papley when they've had minor injuries. Brought Reid back in through the NEAFL.

I think all of those cases may have played out differently in previous years

 

[SilentHunter_]

Exactly

So Grundy got told it is time because of A^2?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You’ll probably see Sinclair play forward a large portion as it sort of gives Sinclair a break without not playing him.

 

[RUNVS]

Thought Robinson would keep his spot, he was good last week.

I thought so too. I imagine if Kennedy is a late withdrawal Robinson will be the one brought in.

 

[caesar88]

It seems we can't live with the three talls and can't live without it. Feels like we're lacking forward structure as both McCartin and Buddy play further up and the smalls get sucked into going further up the ground as well. Having a Sinclair/Cameron presence may give our forward line the spine it's been missing most of this year. We really shouldn't be looking up and seeing an empty forward line this week... let's hope....

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Like who?

I think Papley was a ‘managed’, maybe the same with Jack? Not totally sure, I may even have it the wrong way around. Rohan was a ‘managed’ too I think. CBF’ed looking too far into it tbh!

 

[RUNVS]

You’ll probably see Sinclair play forward a large portion as it sort of gives Sinclair a break without not playing him.

and both Sinclair and McCartin are clunking marks so it will be good for the midfielders to look up and see 3 viable marking targets.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I thought so too. I imagine if Kennedy is a late withdrawal Robinson will be the one brought in.

That’s the obvious change and if I were Horse I’d do it.

Darcy CAMERON
Played the first 9 games of the 2017 NEAFL season before a shoulder injury suffered in the R11 clash against the Giants ruled him out for the rest of the year.

This season his form has been outstanding, and has become one of the NEAFL's best ruckmen who can contribute both in the ruck, around the ground (often dropping back in defence to take intercepting marks) as well as a genuine goal threat when rested forward.

A well-deserved call up.

I wouldn’t call that managing players to be honest he left Hanners out there as a cripple. Played bud til his foot fell off, picks Kennedy with old man back, jack couldn’t move etc etc

 

[Big Blood]

Another week of what? He's not injured.

And wasn't it just a bit weird to rest him last week against the leading goalsneak in the comp?

Don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but WHERE IS REG? HAS ANYONE EVEN SEEN GRUNDY????

Hey i never said he was perfect at managing, he's just got better at it
