Perhaps Fox in this week to help with defending - not so much one on one, but in a team sense - against the Blues tall forwards. Maybe Roberts as sub? Along with Melican, Rampe, Francis and Blakey, a team approach to harassing and negating their two key forwards. We shall see.

Never been able to say the following in 40 years of following the Swans, but there are as many as 31 players on the list that I personally wouldn't mind playing seniors. The 23 that played against Freo plus McCartin, Mills, Campbell, Parker, Reid, Ladhams, Sheldrick and Hamling. A few...

Further to this, based on comments and general match reports, conversely 2nd and 3rd year players Magor, Vickery, Konstanty and McAndrew haven't seemed to make a jump in performance this season? Can't recall any of them being spoken about in glowing terms here or among the best on ground for...

Snell, Cleary, Kirk for first year listed players all showing positive signs for the future. Good to see.

Yes, agree too. First time I have watched him but has shown a bit

WHat the hell was that kick from the boundary outside fifty. Trying to be a hero. What a waste.

As others have said, really like the movement and athleticism for his size of Snell. Conversely, I know Green is really young and tall, but he looks a bit like a giraffe on rollerskates at times. Not the most co-ordinated. Very early days for him.

Haven't been watching but Lugsden doesn't have any stats. A late withdrawal perhaps?

Hope to be proven wrong, but Horse's answer in the post match presser when asked how Tom was progressing didn't sound very reassuring. He was non-committal about Tom's chances of a return against Carlton and just said we'll have to wait and see how he progresses this week with the protocols...

I was curious about that too. They just missed each other at the Giants. Adams was there in 2012 and '13. McCarthy from 2014 to '16.

Was only able to watch snippets of the game. Am i right in saying Lloyd played more of a wing role rather than in the back six (seven). Francis, Melican, Rampe, Florent, Blakey, Roberts and more so McInerney than Lloyd formed the back seven? Edit: Disregard, forgot Cunningham being in the back...

Same number of scoring shots, 40 in front. Amazing. Obvious but the difference accurate goal kicking makes s priceless. Instead of kicking behinds and piling the pressuring on your team to convert chances.

Yep, for sure two weeks with limited game time the most they would go you'd think.

Horse has got into a bit of a habit of making the same player the sub two weeks in a row. Wicks first two games. Campbell was two in a row, now Fox. Forget the other few in order? Maybe shared between Warner Jr and Mitchell from memory.

Seven out of 44 listed not available this weekend due to injury. Mills, McCartin, Reid, Sheldrick, Warner Jr. Buller and Arnold. Mitchell fit and available but not picked in either team so as to be travelling emergency for seniors.

Just like Chris De Burgh once said ... "Don't pay the Perryman ... "

Yeah I vaguely recall watching an episode or maybe two and that was enough for me, due to pretty much the whole family's ... ummm ... "ockerness".

Thanks for the regular updates Rusty. Always enjoy having a look at how it is all shaping up each week. Just a thought ... after a fair sample size of eight games, based on where they have mainly played this season, is it worth changing Roberts' colours predominantly to that of a defender and...

Noeline from memory? Could be wrong.

Excellent. Many thanks.

The injury updates are normally done by about this time on a Tuesday afternoon. I know there s normally a Swans website update a but later today but does anyone know the page on the AFL official site that has the list for all teams? Had a look but can't find it.

I thought the same. For some reason McAndrew's name came out of his mouth without thinking too much about it I guess. Just one of those things.

Is there way to easily check what percentage of game time we've had 2 tall forwards as opposed to 3 tall forwards on the field this season?

Alistair Lynch?

On the bright side, if you run out of bog paper ....

For those that have watched a bit of Snell so far, any chance he plays a 3rd tall type defender role too? My limited viewing of him, I've been impressed with his athleticism and nimbleness and pace. Would others agree? Hopefully he can, provides more flexibility.

Was just thinking the same thing. Reckon if they were anywhere near 50/50 in deciding which of the two would come in, both would be playing down back.

Being streamed on the AFL site as normal

From what I have read Francis has been playing better than Hamling in a similar role so far in the reserves. Both might in the frame though. Possibly just bring in Fox?
