Preview Bedrock, Borders & Bouncy Castles - A Day At Optus - Rd 5, 2022

[Grand Uncle Horace]

On JPK, do people agree he would be the ideal sub?

 

[caesar88]

The Reid-McLean-McDonald forward line is the set-up that got us started last year and did a number on Brisbane and then Richmond in the opening month. Reid's a year older, but the other two are a year more experienced, and also without a walking mattress in McGovern to contend with.

Potential to knock up a big score here but the midfield needs to get its s**t together ASAP.

 

[Slingshot Footy]

HopefullyJPK is the sub.

Surprised Wicks was not an emergency.

Onya Roberts for getting closer to a debut.

I don't think Wicks could be considered for selection unless it was a Sunday game due to H&S protocols.

I thought Reid was pretty much all over red rover.
His selection surprised me (McLean/Amartey) as I thought they were looking to the future.
I thought his game was OK. I'm never confident on his marking or goal kicking. But OK.
I think Reid could be better than either of Amartey or McLean or a useful cut out with a combination with either.

No. Give it to Stephens. I'd imagine JPK if he travelled, is there in case Parker, Mills, Rowy are a late out. It'd be pretty weird to say you're "managing" a former captain, stalwart, then just playing him as the sub where he might play almost a full game. More there in case of an actual emergency.

 

[Jack Lord]

McGovern out is helpful.

 

[Jack Lord]

Easy to forget but this time last year Reid was in very good form.

 

[SeanM]

With Hickey out, I think Reid has a good chance of getting a run of games. I think the coaches will value his versatility as well as being an ok 2nd ruck to support Ladhams.

 

[Donza]

I'm entirely comfortable with the changes.

Shows that the swans hierarchy are comfortable making tough decisions.

After all. Bin day needs a fit buddy.

One hand will require two trips, have we discussed this with the conditioning staff to make sure we manage his loading?

 

[Dubai Quacker]

As long as Bell doesn’t become a perennial passenger like last year, the team looks good.

West Coast ins look great on paper - but can they run out a game?

West Australian Logan McDonald will return home to face the Eagles after starring in the VFL, replacing injured Swans superstar Lance Franklin, while former skipper Josh Kennedy will be left at home.

TEAMS: Big Dee dumped, Eagles' cavalry returns, Port's HUGE in

The line-ups are in for round five

Managed is such a weak word to use. Grow some balls Swans and use the word that truly represents the call...omitted.

Jesus Christ that makes it sound like JPK is Wilson the volleyball

 

[SGBeach]

working away with very little internet, no phone etc.. so not able to read peoples comments..
just looked at the emergencies for tomorrow night.. JPK, Amartey, Stephens, Roberts
Thats a pretty bloody good emergency list

Swans back in form and win by 5 goals

 

[caesar88]

We spent 15 out of 23 weeks in sixth place last year. We've spent 3 out of 4 weeks so far this year in sixth place. Needless to say I am ******* sick of being in sixth place. Please smash them Sydney

That is the difference between you and Horse. He focusses on the now and the process and you focus on the outcomes. You will probably never be a successful coach at the Swans.

Could've told me this last week, already submitted my application

I submitted my application to replace Gill.

They told me not to bother contacting them, as they’d contact me.

Sounds promising.

In a dead-set omen, McInerney just won the 8th race at the Hobart dishlickers.

Have no confidence in stephens coming off the bench and making an impact. Would rather JPK at this stage any day. Stephens has showed nor proven anything thus far. Needs a solid stint in the twos to work on his role and build some ability to impose himself. He's on the right track tho.
