Preview Round 11: Swans v Demons

[Punts]

Can't wait for our captain, Rowy Papley Heeney Rampe Mills to return!

Hopefully nothing like last years comeback

Sunday Arvo.
16 degrees. Will dip down to 13 by the end of the game. Sunny with a 2 Okta.
Perfect beer n bbq weather to watch footy.

Kinda looking forward to a quick clean dry track.
IMO that set up favours the swans.
Would be nice if they ran it out of defence a bit and upset the Lever/May/Gawn screen.

What's okta? Cheers for the updates

Surely Mills would be better suited to defence than fwd. I worry about our fwd 50 pressure with him, hamling, mclean & ladhams together. I can envisage him intercept marking, spoiling & setting up our attack from defence.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

No disrespect intended, but a tall forward lineup of Hamling, Ladhams and McLean must be our most unheralded ever.

If a player wants to leave because they weren't the best option when fit, and were injured when opportunities arose, then how is that just a club blunder?

Both the Nank and Cameron criticisms of the club do appear to be arguments from hindsight mostly, which I don't have much respect for. Because what is the club supposed to do, play them over better alternatives while you're still trying to make finals or win flags, just because they might be unhappy?

It's not the same as Sheldrick v Adams, because at the moment Sheldrick is better than Adams and should not make way at the moment. If Adams plays and plays better, then yeah, Gus might make way (e.g. with Mills increasing mid time in future weeks) and it'd be fair enough.

Right now though, it's just not comparable to Cameron, Nank unless Gus falls behind say Adams in performance and goes back to the VFL, which would not be a club blunder either, it's selection integrity in a non rebuilding year.

If we were rebuilding or the season becomes lost then yeah, give games to younger players, until then it's the better player.

I will simplify this post.
PLAY SHELDRICK.

Wish it was no Gawn we have an amazing ability to kick it to the bald bloke who you can’t miss

Sometimes its fun to just stir up the board.

For beginners, all you have to do is raise one of the following topics:

(1) Kurt Tippett
(2) The Dawson trade
(3) Potato scallops
(4) JUH
(5) Gus Sheldrick

Comparing Gus no getting opportunities at the Swans to JPK not getting opportunities at the Hawks. His subsequent trade to us.

Hopefully we just don’t play McLean to be honest

We shouldn't be playing Hamling up forward. They'll have at least 2-3 KPFs for him and Tmac to deal with, while Rampe is on Fritsch or Melksham.

I want to see Mills in action at senior level up forward first, where the least damage can occur, before we move him elsewhere. Plus who better to take the Hamling role on an interceptor.

We're already probably 1 tall shorter with Rampe needed on a medium.

Take the win.

I like Gus. Ask me how much.

I can talk about Sheldrick if you prefer.

I'm backing big Dos to have a blinder.
