I dont think he was brought in to be depth. He was starting 22 from the day we signed him. Im starting to think even leunberger would have been better and hes a grade A spud
Starting 22 mainly because of Naismith's history with injuries, I think they have been grooming Naismith to take over in the ruck but Sinclair was a stop gap until he was ready.

Its like you don't like a difference of opinion and that we all should be sinking the boots into a player because you have an issue with them? I'm not pro Sinclair like you want to suggest (saying he is in our Bottom 5 players and should only play if fit and if Tippett isn't available is hardly that). I have been open with stating that Sinclair has been poor and that before this week he should make way for Tippett so Naismith can keep his spot.

But you believe what you want.
Lol ok

Have edited my post above. A few on here wanted Luey in the off season but he chose the Bombers so that put an end to that.

But seriously the club does rate Naismith highly, with everyone fit Sinclair drops out of the 22. That much I think we can all agree on.

Yeah but do you want one great steak for tea tonight and nothing the rest of the week

Or say spam for tea the whole week
Neither!
Give me pasta every night. It's versatile, & great value & with a subtle change of ingredients, it gets the job done every time & only falls short on the rare occasion.

you guys are too fussy for me.
It's like feeding strawberries to pigs! :D

As easy and enjoyable as it is for some to hate him, he had a really good reserves game and should get the call up next week. Looked really good up forward and competed well in the ruck against a few taller Suns players. Overall, good game, certainly one of the better Swans on the day.

Florent, once again on the periphery. Robinson for Kennedy is a no brainer.
11 disposals, 40 AFL points, one of the least effective players on the ground tonight, including a completely shite Gold Coast team that could only **** a football for 2 & half quarters.

No way would I mess with the structure of Reid and Rohan playing deep

Seems to that both them guys are more confident and fly for there marks when giving more space

Honestly don't think we can have a resting ruck in the team

Yeah but you suggest picking a ruckman for a running mid?

A ruck who was playing barely 50% of game time in his last 3 senior games

Florent plays about 60% game time, maybe 70% some games, depending on needs. He's not a running player anyway, since he doesn't really "run". He's an outside player who needs to be fed, even if he's racking up 7 contested from 11. Overall, had little impact on the game, and his slight physical stature hinders him more than anything else.

I don't think he would have played if Dawson wasn't injured.

We simply cannot against Mumford and Lobbe with Reid as our 2nd ruck. He will get killed and we will lose, big.

Not disputing florent

I would have florent out for hayward if fit, robinson for kennedy

But sinclair cannot do much forward or in the ruck, may as well let towers give a chop out, mumford will dominate sinclair anyway

I think he's maligned as a forward, since he's shown that he can play it quite well at times. I just don't think he gets much of a crack there in the seniors, whereas in the reserves he gets close to 50% game time. He kicked a bag today, admittedly against a lesser quality player, but marked and lead well.

Yeah in the neafl


But its more about what spot is there than his form, i dont think you disrupt the current forward set up

We need movement v the giants, thas just me, i just bet sinclair wont be picked
