Would t read too much into this game swans are depleted with injuries and have some no names.The only positives are good hit outs from Fish/Binns/Cincotta etc.

They’ll be at least 4 changes next week so expect them to come in.

you reckon this mc would make 4 at once? Wouldn't have happened often under Voss. Morbidly curious now how often he's actually made larger numbers of changes.


Oh I guess the forced changes this week will be up near 4 anyway.

there are 22 guys in the seniors you could level that same claim against.

The difference with most of those is that they can't run anywhere near like that, and if they could they'd be a top 2 football side.

HF: B. Ronke (67), L. Fogarty (8), J. Honey (36)

OUT: A. Cincotta, Z. Fisher, L. O'Brien, J. Silvagni, L. Young (AFL), N. Cahill (calf), A. Mirkov (injured)

Cunningham, Cowan, and Martin are back from injury, though we've lost Mirkov and Cahill. Expecting Dow to miss this one, but interesting challenge for O'Keeffe and Lemmey, though I'm hoping to see Akuei swung forward again.

EDIT: Final team:

Cunners will need some WD40.

If Marchy gets through this game and plays to a decent level he could well play 1’s next week. We just can’t go on with JSOS as the third tall, we need the flexibility of releasing either Gov or Kemp for this role.

Cuners and Martin playing, pinch me. These guys can make a real difference to our awful forward line - simply they are just better than the other options

Can’t believe they’re off the injured list

I think Kemp is tailor made for the forward half with midfield time … I’d bring all the perennially injured in for next weeks game … they’re only gonna last so long so let’s try to get a win or two while they can stay on the park …

Actually agree even not fully wound up they are better than options - says a lot for the small and hff’s we have doesn’t it?

Nice ball movement, great goal, we are the blokes in the grey right?

 

[M_I_G]

Get binns in the seniors
Lemmey was definitely worth grabbing
Half way thru 1st qtr we are yet to kick a goal
13-1

Says a lot for the development staff who didn't see that we were lacking up there and couldn't foresee that training Kemp in a more natural role for his skillset ahead of the ball was worthwhile this offseason running into this season

 

[Mondyboy]

Cuners playing like a guy who has had calf tightening for 10 weeks.

Binns has been scrappy, but still our best.

Our turnovers are hilariously bad.

The turnover then to goal was shocking
Was it binns? They said it was but didn’t think it looked like him

We have an awesome list.... maybe we could target some elite kicks at tomorows morning Auskick !!! LOL

No, it was Gill. Who cannot kick the ball.

I agree he should play half forward and when Voss first came to the club Kemp was being trialled forward. Then Oscar, Parkes and Gov got injured (and Marchy was obviously out perennially injured) and he went back out of necessity. The situation again points to a failure of list management.

Looked like Honey

 

[Mondyboy]

We might have 12 “AFL” blokes out there but 3 of them (Martin, Cuners and Marchbank) aren’t anywhere near AFL fitness levels or skill at the mo.

It was Binns. He took a great mark then completely fluffed the kick.
