Preview Round 16, Sydney vs Geelong, Friday 30 June 7:50pm @ SCG

[Hinkley29]

Sav straight back in, no VFL required. I am not sure how I feel about that.

That says to me the club sees him as a top-15 player on the list. Oh how quickly things can change.

Thinking about it further, our injury list is limiting our options, so perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that he is straight back in.

I would love to see us have a normal injury list just to see if Sav was still an automatic starter.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Warner out is huge... He is an absolute jet.

 

[4quarter_cat]

no warner i feel almost makes us favourites.

 

[Vdubs]

Did not see MOC out at any stage in the last week so i am surprised at that

Did we even have any murmurings about him being injured?

Def injured or managed -- not even an emergency.
I thought Smith may have been managed- still might.

Dempsey for sub? would not surprise me given his form but they could also want him to keep getting full games in the VFL to keep building.

I would say the sub will be him or Bowes.

I hope Parfitt- hasn't got that long to regain his mojo

 

[Vdubs]

Cameron and Guthrie outs as B&F players would make Swans a little pleased as well?

 

[Hinkley29]

Shame about Franklin.

It actually is a shame.

He is a dead set passenger these days, the swans seem like they are playing one short when he is on the field.

That is an oxymoron? Do you mean a non-existent list?
In 2023, defining normal is bizarre; WCE 21 players injured, we have had record numbers...

Dempsey would make sense.

This is the hardest week to pick who the sub will be. Can’t see it being Parf

But I could make a case actually for Mullin - given MOC is out. We have a lot of options who can roll forward (2E, Smith, Duncan) so maybe Dempsey or Bowes of less value that Mullin… And maybe they want Dempsey to continue to bank full games and give Bowes a full game in VFL?

not sure

not sure

I can. If he has impressed at all at VFL level, he will be back.

Parfitt doesn't deserve a recall until he starts playing better in the VFL.

Let him get his mojo back before recalling

 

[And_ROOS]

Thats a big help but the Swans players who could * us remain the same as always, its Papley, Parker and Heeney.

But I didn't realise Warner was their number 1 possession winner against the Weagles and kicked a couple so he is a big out.

Has he done so? Named as emergency first time in a while, might be on his way. Too good and experienced to be out indefinitely.

Nope he has ben bad and probably only an emg due to others not being ready or injured

Warner was their best in the GF... He is a machine these days. Huge out for them.

Im surprised but I wonder if that means JHenry goes forward to take the Cameron role and we see Esava into defense.

Haven't seen VFL.
I see nothing in Bowes at present that puts him ahead of Parfitt.

He did get stuck in V Melbourne and got the ball and cleared it in spots im not sure Parfitt would be in.

 

[Vdubs]

Henry can play anywhere, even wing/ mid.

Sav at CHF?

 

[Sire of Claude]

Mojo is precisely what Parfitt lacks unfortunately.

Warner was easily their best player in the GF. Like if he was an 8/10 the next best was a 4/10.

 

[Gunf]

Parfitt is fighting for a mid spot only.

Bowes being able to play multiple roles kinda like Duncan helps.

I dunno i would have scored Fox rather well in the GF as well

Can you buy any majo on eBay?

 

[catempire]

For the supplementary sausage:

Late out: Kolo
Late in: Bowes

Sav at CHF?

No chance, they are super happy with Esavas form in defence. His best games for us have effectively been all this season at CHB.

Besides JHenry is a more natural forward and having him in the Cameron role means he and his brother can rotate who stays deep and who moves up the ground.
