if we can get through to Sept and have all these guys firing, we will be a formidable opponentI imagine for Goodes's first game back he will be the sub, Reid has not been gone long and Tippett doesn't need fitness

That guy

or
"they will be back with the main group soon"
or
"they will be doing ball work shortly"
or
meh....it is worse than Comical Ali
I guess it's effectively Reid out for Tippett over the next week or so, which isn't exactly a downgrade.
I'm not sure why Reid has been playing with achilles soreness, though.

J Dampney , Great signs today at the SCG with Tippett , Walsh , Bird in full training
It's becoming clear to me that injury management is a key part of running a club, with expectations of playing deep into finals this year. Is it possible the Swans are engaging in highly conservative management of talls to reduce the compounding effects of playing injured. I would not be surprised to see swans players managed cautiously across the board in an effort to be fresher and less fatigued later in the year. The consequences of which we witnessed first hand last year, and which the early srounds of this year suggest it will be an even more draining and fatiguing year and schedule for all teams (rotations are down, injuries are up, TOG is up) With a list that has 2/3 speciallist key forwards, could this cautious management of players be a part of the plan folks.
Expect Tippo back to partner Franklin for the Fremantle game, with Goodes surely not far behind.
Reid the only real uncertainty now.
Slot Goodes straight in mate?
Yep. Opposition teams fear him, and we're instantly better when they need to find a match up for him.

This exactly - bollocks to managing players through the season get the wins on the board
I think Dan87 has a point and better to drop a couple early than drop any at all in the tail end of the season.

I highly doubt we thought we would go even close to dropping those two games regardless, it was a great reality check.

I'd have goodes as a sub for the first 5-6 games he is back. He will be a very hard matchup coming on at 3qtr time fully fresh. The runners who are quick enough and fit enough to go with him have already run 12-15 Kms and the blokes who are big enough to go with him won't have that much gas left after crashing around for 3qtrs.
Come to think of it, if goodes can get through the rest of the year unscathed, the sub rule could add years to his career

It's working for Gia at the Bulldogs. Goodes would definitely be the super-sub.

I wouldn't like to be walking up on to the wing at the start of the 4th qtr to line up on the great man after he has been sitting and itching to get out their for 3qtrs

Soft buns and packing a lot of meat ?
i agree with dan87 100% i have no doubt we were being extremely cautious in our injury management, it's just that the players didnt hold up their end of the bargain.
if you asked 100 footy fans if 2014 would have been the time gws would break the duck, 95 would have said no, and the other 5 would have been trolls.
game 1 was a lock, game 2 was 60/40. the coaches wouldve taken 2/3 while resting players until they were 100% right, not 95%.
we had the team to mke top 4 even while resting players, it just hasnt gone to plan. so now we're a little under the pump, we need to stay in touch over the next few rounds otherwise we're going to have to play underdone players (and risk further.injuries) to get the job done
