Can Christian Petracca handle a tag? Is it time to blow the Lions' program up?

What's the big question your AFL club must answer in Round 8? Can Christian Petracca handle a tag? Is it time to blow the Lions' program up? Are the Swans the best team in New South Wales?

or Harry Cunningham being our most underrated player.

 

[Bonz]

James Rowbottom underrated? I thought he was highly rated by everyone? I would have gone with Lewis Melican or Harry Cunningham being our most underrated player.

Cunningham for me personally

 

[caesar88]

James Rowbottom underrated? I thought he was highly rated by everyone? I would have gone with Lewis Melican or Harry Cunningham being our most underrated player.

I think it's relative. I'd say that all three of Rowbottom, Melican & Cunningham couldn't be picked out of a line-up by most neutral fans and they get little media recognition. But only one of them is arguably our most important player and likely on track for a third-straight top 3 finish in the B&F.

You sir, have just earned my undying fealty.

 

[bloodsbigot]

David King just said on First Crack that the Cats, Giants and Blues are the 3 stand out teams and have weapons far superior to anyone else in the 8. That man is having an absolute lend. It's like results don't matter

Seems to flip flop a lot.

"Well the Giants even with all their talent are allowed a down week now and then, but I still clearly rate them in the top 2 or 3.
I've still got my questions on Sydney"

You're having a laugh. We won't be mentioned.

 

[J_Moore]

Just gave him a serve on X , he's a rat

You and the great man. Get up him bulldog

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Shut up, Jon Ralph. It's known he hates us.

Second in points for and against

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Horse took a bit of a swipe at JRalph (not by name) in his presser today

 

[bedford]

that'll learn him

Nothing will , he's a dill, hopefully i learn't him a bit.

James Rowbottom underrated? I thought he was highly rated by everyone? I would have gone with Lewis Melican or Harry Cunningham being our most underrated player.

Some here unironically wanted him dropped after the Richmond game.

 

[bedford]

Some here unironically wanted him dropped after the Richmond game.

It's a strange board , top 3 in the Skilton the last couple of years

 

[SM]

Some here unironically wanted him dropped after the Richmond game.

Who wanted him dropped? As one of the ones critical of him after that game I don't believe I ever said he should be dropped, just that it was a poor game and a number of missed tackles late from him, Heeney and a few others cost us the game.

 

[SydneyBlood]

Surprised and disappointed no one asked Horse at the presser today about the possibility of going in with one less tall forward, given all the rain this week.

I normally don't mind the three tall forward set-up but for this week specifically would not be avers to Amartey or even McLean (one of the two) being omitted. Especially if Parker is deemed fit to play seniors.

 

[dosser]

Then there was some poster , can't remember , but wanted JPK dropped

Well let's face it, he did nothing against Richmond.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

In a week where we're hosing down rumours of in-fighting, it's great to see the boys all holding hands at training.

Proof we're a happy bunch at the swans.

Swans hit back at 'unfair' Wicks report, veterans in line to return

Sydney could welcome back both Luke Parker and Dane Rampe for the derby against the Giants

[RUNVS]

Then there was some poster , can't remember , but wanted JPK dropped

I remember wanting to drop Kennedy a couple of times in his final few seasons as he was not the player he used to be at that point.
