Jarrod Crouch will play this week with a plate in his broken jaw.
This isn't as unusual as it sounds and has been done before (Grant last year for instance) but it's very rare that anyone outside the club finds out about it before the game.
Kennelly had a scan on his hamstring on Tuesday but will also play. Watch for his opponent to test it out by doing lots of leading this week, especially early, to try to make Kennelly do lots of quick starts.

I'm sure he'd try.
Team spy's?
If it were true do you really think he'd make it obvious that he's got a rat in the Swans ranks, by opening his mouth on the radio?

He has a regular stint on SEN, Thursday evenings from 6-7pm.
In the past he has made it clear that 'he's got a rat in the opposition ranks'. It would negligible of him not do everything in his power to find out as much information about the opposition as possible.
I actually can't remember a week where Rocket hasn't stated that such and such isn't going to play, and such and such is going to play. He gets it right sometimes (Eg: Riccuito) and gets it wrong other times (Eg: Hamill & Kozi).

So he's guessing, in other words.

Not as such
He has spies who watch your training sessions. They then report back to Rocket with the details of the session. Part of this role is to report any injuries that occur or any whispers that are floating around; re: structure, mood, skills etc.
I'm sure Roos has kept a close eye on our training sessions this week as well, it's just that he hasn't publicly stated anything.

Or maybe the herald picked it up from Rocket on SEN!

I saw Crouch eating a pie through a straw at lunchtime - took him a fair while but he got through it.
