Six players with fewer than 30 games, three players yet to play five -- Longmire not afraid of blooding new Bloods.
Interesting call on Rohan. I didn't think he was going that badly, by Rohan standards. When he's good he's good but he rarely does it for long.

Footy Gods are Victorian.
Marsh > Aliiir on form
Very very bad feeling about this game.

Unfortunately they will do the same thing they did to Dawson. Forward pocket. 40 mins. 5 possies. They love putting players in positions/ or roles they never done. 101 Swans footy.

I don't rate Marsh as an intercepting reader of the play, or as a loose man. I think he's very good at playing one on one against a direct mid-to-tall sized opponent, and he's also good at winning some ground balls in the back end of the ground. But I think Aliir is a more like-for-like replacement for Mills, which sounds strange given their size. Some were even saying only a few weeks back that Aliir coming in would actually free Mills up to play more in the midfield, such are the similarities in what they bring to the back-line.
Marsh is a proven useless player on the ground. It should be towers coming in for Rohan, and stoddart for mills. Not 2 defenders in

Mills out for the season?

Don't like weeks where things start to go against us before the game even starts that is! Mills is a big blow. Brisbane will be a red hot shot here.

That Mills injury is more bizarre than Rampe breaking his collarbone jumping over the little fence around Driver Avenue.

clearly the MC has decided a packet of Twisties (marsh) had to replace the absursly injured Mills. The Stud was inked in to replace Rohan last week.
Longmire dropping Rohan is a surprise but I get the feeling it's been partly to do with Ronke coming into the forward line and being immediately so good chasing and tackling. So much so that Rohan's main and only consistent attribute (pressure) isn't so rare anymore - he's become expendable given how rarely he touches the ball.
It is a bad break too

Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

I was kind of hoping this could be his chance. I don't mind marsh either though.

To be fair Dawson did come to the Swans as a forward at junior level.
Anyways congrats to the Stud hope he has a ripping debut.

Honestly if we are serious about having a crack at the trophy this year we will take care of the Lions with relative ease.
If we are switched on then this will happen on Saturday.

Pretty much this
Stoddart really impressed me in the pre season games. I reckon he'll be like Papley when he came into the side. It just elevated his game.
