Preview Round 6: Swans vs Port Adelaide

[bloodsbigot]

I don't mind playing McCartin as a forward. Gives us a bit of versatility.

He prefers playing there so maybe give it a go for a while. He definitely earned his stripes as a defender when we needed it. Now that Melican has become reasonably reliable, I'm not against experimenting. Seems like shades of 2011 anyway. Seems like this year is a write-off already.

 

[Jimbo OZ]

It’s an unpopular opinion but I think McCartin was okay as a forward in rounds 1 and 2. He didn’t kick the goals but I thought he led up the wings well and made a good contest. Brisbane and Hawthorn are good defensive sides especially against key forwards.

Above average forward, but is a top 10 key position defender down back.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

IN: Melican, McInerney, Francis
OUT: Amartey, Sheldrick, Ladhams

 

[Punts]

Gus will be spewing

 

[bloodsbigot]

Gus will be spewing

Do you rate him punts?

 

[The King!]

Ladhams was going ok I reckon

I reckon Francis forward before Mccartin , but suspect this is so Mccartin goes forward.

sub will be interesting

Just needs to kick better, but he was clunking a few, agree.

But he is an elite defender.

 

[Punts]

Do you rate him punts?

I think he is slow on transition and loosing his opponents in stoppages

I thing is slow players need to have a weapon , kicking or just fining the pill etc which I can’t see with him yet

 

[Kbroome]

Im hoping we play Francis up forward

Thought we were done with him

I never understood what the big deal was with him myself. The way people sing his praises here I don't get.

Sub will be CC imo

 

[Benmacca33]

Francis

 

[Donza]

Make me believe Franga banga

 

[Tedeski]

He’s in because we are done.

 

[sr20]

Good chance that we play both of McCartin and Hamling forward on that basis.

Francis - Melican - Rampe - Blakey - Wicks - Roberts - Bice the 7 backs

 

[davidyoung]

Francis

Agree. Speechless. Move on from some of these blokes for ffs.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Not surprised Ladhams and Gus are out.

But still disappointed.

I’m not sure who the midfield rotations are going to be.

Feels like he’s overreacted to our defence getting beaten last week.

 

[Jewelsbon]

No

Not happy

 

[davidyoung]

He’s in because we are done.

How is he even playing at this level is beyond me.

 

[Cadsky]

Those changes aren't exactly inspiring

 

[Kiama Chris]

IN: Melican, McInerney, Francis
OUT: Amartey, Sheldrick, Ladhams

Really didn't expect Francis.

 

[Tedeski]

Really didn't expect Francis.

He wasn’t part of the GF debacle do he deserves another go at least if some others are there.

 

[The King!]

Sub will be CC imo

Dumb IMO

 

[The King!]

Any other available player should play ahead of Francis imo
