Crikey a debutant! Wasn't expecting that.

Good luck to Nick Smith. Hope he goes well in his first game.

Hope Davis sees this as a great opportunity and really takes it this time.

where has this information come from? i know smith's been an emergency a coupla times but i must admit i'd be very surprised if he came in this week
not that i oppose the promotion of any of the new kids, good luck to him if it's right

O'Dwyer still has to work on his disposal a bit before he's ready. He's definitely improved from last season but is still a little prone to throw it on the boot and spray it.

I'm certainly more bullish about him than I was at the start of the year after seeing him in 4 games this year. But I don't think there's any hurry.

brad seymour said it on SEN at 1pm
and the aap wire preview of the round has named smith as playing
geez, dunno where else it's coming from, but aap getting it from SEN is hardly reliable
not saying it won't happen, but it's still not official as far as i'm concerned
and i agree with others about matt o'dwyer

so LRT to centre half forward!?!! why? surely that can't be, if he's still gonna be second ruck
and white on to the emergency bench is surely a good sign his time is coming
if we were reluctant to play LRT at CHB and back-up ruck, why would we rest him at CHF while playing back-up ruck? what am i missing?
there's a trick somewhere, surely
i spose if i'm scratching me noggin, so will the geelong boys

geelong have dropped harry taylor to the emergency bench
no idea why, he's been going well
but to me that suggests they're a bit worried about how we're going to set up our forwards, and don't want taylor exposed to a far more experienced player such as davis or micky o
i dunno
all seems a bit like mind games

Why are you getting worked up by where they are named.

They could list them from Back Pocket to Rover in alphabetical order for all the ____ing good it is. The team lineup has no bearing on where they may start on the day, don't bother reading anything into it at all.

Exactly. When the Swans were affiliated with Port Melbourne, the Port lineup looked totally random for me. Filandia in the ruck, Bennett on the wing etc.
