Preview Sydney Swans v Adelaide, Rd 17 2015

[swansfan51]

What about Kizza though? What's he done to demand his spot in the team ahead of Shaw and/or Jones?

His performances have been ahead of Jones by about a thousand miles

 

[The King!]

Jones out odd

Mcglynn in unwarranted on form?

Tippett stuffed hand but in to ruck

Will just end up stuffed like pyke surely

2 week layoff for a broken hand? its not broken then.

 

[The King!]

Oh well pick whomever each week has been average at best anyway

I want to see a full game of attack and intensity

 

[The King!]

The swans wouldnt play an injured player of course

 

[BarneyBent]

Would've kept Jones and got rid of BJ.

Jones has had a run, BJ deserves a go. Was better than Jones on the weekend overall, we need to build our depth, and with Shaw back in a bit of form Jones is less vital.

That said, I love Jones and I think he's potentially got a big future. But I think BJ should be rewarded for his gradual improvement with each game. Dropping him would send the wrong message.

That said, I'd have preferred McGlynn get another game in the reserves and Jones stick around.

 

[BarneyBent]

What about Kizza though? What's he done to demand his spot in the team ahead of Shaw and/or Jones?

Been one of our best players over the last few years. Yeah, his form has been shitty, but when stars are in s**t form, they get some time to come good.

 

[RW]

Believe it when i see it

Emergencies are Jones, Richards and Towers. If Tippett doesn't play our ruck division will consist of Nankervis and Reid to take on Jacobs. I make no further comment on that.

 

[SSwans2011]

Jones is one of the few on the team that can actually kick though.

In saying that, my opinion is clouded by my frustration of Kizza's left foot shots on goal.

 

[The King!]

Yeah but who else is there

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Effort and intensity haven't been the problem

 

[The King!]

You dont have different expectations for different players?

I set the bar a lot higher for a co captain premiership playing midfielder compared to Nathan Jones baby brother

Not saying id drop jack and keep jones though

 

[The King!]

Effort and intensity haven't been the problem

I think we have been lethargic and unwilling at times to run both ways

 

[SSwans2011]

Been one of our best players over the last few years. Yeah, his form has been shitty, but when stars are in s**t form, they get some time to come good.

I guess my issue is that we keep dropping the same players, and nothing's changed. Kizza was the first name that came to mind, because of his right foot kicking issues tbh.

 

[Millky95]

Effort and intensity haven't been the problem

All about execution. Hit targets. Take the game on.

 

[The King!]

There is one change that matters at Sydney

In franklin

The other 21 are just there

 

[RW]

Yeah but who else is there

There's always Derickx...

 

[brad cooper]

Jones has a big future but hasn't really grabbed his chance just yet. Bj deserves another go. Mcglynn sub?

 

[kneecapper]

At this point I don't much care if we win or lose, just hope it's a close game and we show some spirit.

Wouldn't get a lot of satisfaction in thumping a side that just lost their coach or getting thumped after the week Goodesy has faced.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Well with Jones out expecting McVeigh to go down back and McGlynn will be sub.

Unless Mitchell is sub again..

 

[The King!]

Cunningham or bj

 

[Millky95]

McGlynn or BJ to sub. Probably McGlynn

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Cunningham or bj

For sub?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Would be surprised if Mcglynn is a starter hasn't played for 2 months.

 

[kneecapper]

Rushing back Tippett and McGlynn seemed a little "panic stations" to me but I trust the Swans medical staff to make the right call. They've been really conservative all season.
