Review The Week in Between - now we wait. Selection talk and other guff.

[Heeney2Franklin]

Is it bad that part of me is glad we're ruling him out? I feel like this almost saves Horse from himself in playing underdone players..

I dont know.. a slight strain will be 15 days should we win our prelim.

Will be hugely tempting for Longmire

Yeah that's just occurred to me which makes me feel a bit sick. Can see him coming in for the GF and just doing nothing.

 

[The King!]

Minor hamstring so probably could play the grand final....which actually may not be a good thing if they risk it.

Anyway shame for Mills but next man up and we focus on the prelim.

 

[KingV23]

Aaron Francis to be the Mitch Morton

Lord have mercy

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Just wipe this year out for Cal

Hammy strain sidelines Swans skipper for prelim

Callum Mills won't play in next week's preliminary final after sustaining a hamstring injury at training

Always the case with a modified pre-season you lack conditioning and any soft tissue weaknesses give way.

You just know.. deep down you know Mills will play should we get there lol

 

[The King!]

Lord have mercy

I was joking but Francis would be ok as a spare . But then Fox should play ahead if they go that path.


They have some options , will depend who we play

to get that reprieve and shove it up the arses of the Vic media

 

[KingV23]

IF we make the Grand Final.

Horse on the Thursday before the match

Horse: How's the hammy?
Mills: ahh about 50/50.
Horse: That's my boy, YOU'RE IN!

 

[the hypnotoad]

Yeah, celebrating a tough, come-from-behind win in a home final. What idiots, what ****ing losers. Should have just quietly walked off the ground with looks of steely determination.

tears of steely determination

Never said they shouldn’t have.
Just felt like they hit their peak.

 

[GoulburnSwan]

After a PA announcement to the fans, no cheering today or club song, this is just a final.

No kick to kick, no smiling, cold pies & warm beer just to “keep it real & non celebratory”

 

[The King!]

The big challenge is he was already lacking peak fitness.

If you had a mild strain but played all year then getting back for the granny would seem more possible, at least in my mind .

They reckon it’s a 21 day injury - and it’s 18 days til the GF - there would and should be supporter riots if they are considering putting him in. As I said, we did perfectly well without him for most of the season.

 

[Jeffers]

Not the best news at all because Mills helped Florent and Campbell be more up the ground and it also allowed Lizard to do his thing without getting dragged deeper defensively.

As much as I reckon Adams would be a very good inclusion for a cut throat final, Fox is the logical one to come in IMO

 

[The King!]

Maybe Fox in, Campbell in, Parker sub.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

1. Fox is > Mills with Gastro
2. Campbell > QF version of Jmac
3. Adams/Cleary as Sub for Parker depending on opponent

Team improves for the Prelim.

Bullish !

 

[Dubai Quacker]

The worry is not that Mills is out.

It’s that an unfit Mills comes in.

 

[Bloods86]

Out: Mills Jmac
In: Fox Campbell
Sub: Cleary or Adams

Still don't really want Parker and Adams in the same team though, unless it's wet.

Horse would never play an unfit player in a grand final. Never.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Francis has also been brought in the KPD roles… and struggled.

As a medium defender who can float and intercept, I would also have more faith.

If coaches went Francis over Fox, I’d trust they knew what they were doing.

 

[Voice of the G]

Out: Mills Jmac
In: Fox Campbell
Sub: Cleary or Adams

Still don't really want Parker and Adams in the same team though, unless it's wet.

If Parker and Adams are in the same team one of them has to be sub.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

My ins and outs:

Out: Jmac, Mills
Sub: Parker
In: Campbell, Fox, Adams

 

[The King!]

I think Jmac will stay

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh great here Horse will go again playing half baked players in a GF lol

Mills hasn’t looked for the whole year
