TOJ makes us bloody tall with Keefe still in the side.
but, as I really like TOJ I'm pleased to see him back.
and come on the chippie from the central coast,
proving again that we only have high draft picks handed to us on a platter.

Thing that surprised me is Zac named as an emergency and Isaac. Surely they have to be fit and under consideration to be named.

I think it’s out of necessity more than anything else. Looking at your NEAFL team last week I think the only other fit guy is Stein and he would need to be rookie elevated to be listed as an emergency.
Still a pretty good team but Kelly is so important. He was out during out run of losses.TOJ makes us bloody tall with Keefe still in the side.
but, as I really like TOJ I'm pleased to see him back.
and come on the chippie from the central coast,
But Nick Smith is juts as big a loss for them.
Our backline super important this week. They have some quality forwards.
And I hope they have a plan for Alir Alir. If we bomb it long he will have a field day. He is fast become like Jeremy McGovern. Quality player

Good to see TOJ back in and hopefully he can have a good game but with the Swans small forwards he will be in for a hard night if their mids get on top
Must be really down on numbers looking at the emergencies but glad to see Cumming is ok and I think it is the first time Sproule has been an emergency although I think it is more to do with who is available

If their board is any indication, they're worried about their lack of height in defence.
They do seem to have a point. They're missing most of their back line from Round 3 - Grundy (192cm), Smith (183cm), Melican (195cm), and Mills (188cm), replacing them with Newman (186cm), Jones (181cm), Allir (194cm) and Cunningham (182cm).
We're missing Patton, Corr, Shaw, Deledio, de Boer, Reid and Kelly, replacing them with Kennedy, Buntine, Bonar, Griffen, Daniels, Langdon, and Keeffe.
Our replacements are pretty good. The only two we're really missing are Kelly and Shaw.

I do see Lobb as our long term ruck. I wonder if our tacticians might decide to try and go for their throat and start Lobb forward early though. We did this against the Hawks successfully. I guess it's all about if Keefe can negate Sinclair. He doesn't really seem critical to our defence when you look at the matchups. If the ball goes the other way from the clearances it wont work if course.
So with Heater out, who’s going to kick it to themselves and then long out to the right?
Who’s going to shankingly kick it out on the full?
Who’s going to get pinged for deliberate for doing something someone else does every week?
There are big boots to fill when Heater goes out of the team.

Lachie seemed to do a lot of kickins last week, he is not awful at finding targets
TOJ will also spend some time doing that I assume

I dunno about the other things, but I have no doubt the umps will find someone on our team to ping for this!

Aliir will be playing as the #1 defender this week and the only guy over 190cm in the Swans back half. Bombing it long might actually be a rewarding tactic.
So how is Richmond treating it's big marquee game against Essendon resting Cotchin, Lambert, Prestia and Astbury tonight? Respecting the competition are they?

Yup, a big game for Himmelberg, he will have to keep Allir honest. Cameron/ Rampe and HH/AA seems the likely match-ups.
Agreed but I think we might throw Keefe in for big stints in the middle and push Lobb forward more to stretch them
They literally have nobody close to his height to cover him

Agreed, their primary focus has to be on winning the contest, if we are able to win and spread it could turn into a hiding, though it feels unlikely that happens..

Rings true cheers, I suspect Finlayson will take a fair share of them this week, when on song he is a very good kick, when he isn't he is a very good Heath Shaw
