lmfao JMac and Callum's faces!

Mother of god, that was horrendous.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Mother of god, that was horrendous.

I mean, apart from anything else, bung it up a key or two so it's not right at the bottom end of the "singer's" (and I use the word generously) vocal range.

(But clearly there are bigger issues with it than mere key selection.)

 

[Jewelsbon]

It is difficult being so influential on swans performance

Weather.

We have a NW cloud band and associated rain pushing through the Sydney Basin Thursday.
Timing is a bit up in the air.
Will occur between 5-9pm.

These cloud bands don't usually produce much rain and have a tendency to dry out after they push through under a westerly wind .

 

[BloodySwan]

Rampe for Parker would be the only change I make. Allow blokes like Campbell or Florent to spend more time in the midfield

This.
Personally. Campbell is the next A-grade mid at the swans.

If Hickey is right to play a full game, I'd probably swap McAndrew for one of Sheldrick or Stephens. But then Francis is probably still needed down back on King, so we'd be short up front and without the marking target of Heeney (who needs to stay in the mids), can see us just doing the one change.

Francis on King
Melican on Caminiti
Rampe on Wood
Fox on Butler
Cunners on Higgins

Thanks Tim, I wondered where you'd got to.

Yeah, I think Stephens and Gus will likely need to keep pushing before they come back into the team.

Yeah, I think Stephens and Gus will likely need to keep pushing before they come back into the team.

One of them will be the sub for sure this week, since it's before the VFL game the next day. If they play a quarter, they can line up again, play a lot and that's it for the weekend.

 

[bedford]

Chance of 0-4 mil of rain in afternoon and evening with light winds .
Please win this

Rampe in, Florent & Campbell spending more time in the middle: big

I just don’t know if we can give McAndrew another game. He’s done OK-ish, but young players who aren’t yet quite up to it tend to get a game or two, then back to the VFL.

My guess is that RJ is playing pretty banged up and they don't want to be stuck with just McLean rucking if he breaks. Spread the load. Might go a few more yet

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Rampe in for Parker is obvious and I agree with the plan to increase the midfield time of Campbell and Florent.

I can only see McAndrew staying in if there are ongoing concerns re Hickey's ability to run out a game. Otherwise, Sheldrick in. Stephens sub.

 

[caesar88]

I don't think either Florent or Campbell will be in the mids this game

 

[Mister B]

He was asked about that giving our best efforts and said, Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and * the prom queen

Yes Mr Connery.

 

[BloodySwan]

So no Mills,I thought h would be available.

I thought Mills would still be a little while away before he is back

 

[Nuggetz]

I have friends coming over, pizza being ordered and beer in the fridge. I'm ready

Pineapple? Love pizzas but they're soo bloody expensive in Aus compared to making it at home. Salami/Pepperoni/Chicken topping with a few veggies on a zaatar base is my go to pizza.

 

[Nuggetz]

Haven't followed st.kilda much, what are their strengths/weaknesses? Assume being a ross lyon team their defence is pretty good.

Probably some pineapple and meats. It's from my local, not too expensive. But I'll be lazy, so order pizza once the kids are asleep

As much as. Ross has reborn St Kilda.
They look exactly the same as they have looked the last 10 years.
Once the sheen worn off.

Campbell has been playing higher up the ground the last month.. (His stats will back this up)

On the wing, but zero CBAs and no stoppages from recollection suggests he's not an option to play inside at this point.

wing is midfield is it not?
CBAs (your favourite stat - doesn't define if someone is playing in the midfield) .. now you're spouting stats in isolation to to prove your point!

My 'eye' has watched him in the mids a lot more in recent games

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Yes, don’t think he’ll be at CBAs, but against Carlton he spent time out on a wing / through half forward - and I sensed Horse had decided “It’s Time”.
