Preview Round 17, 2019: Swans v Blues

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The only thing I feel about this is sadness that KJ has a put a slight tarnish on his legacy by agreeing to play. I think nothing about Jose - the bloke is simply a Moneyball tosser.

 

[Superstar swan]

Really hope Horse chooses NM so we can appoint Shaw as our senior coach.

I kind of want of want someone that didnt come from our program..just a complete fresh start..although in saying that we could do a lot worse than shaw...by all reports he has great rapport with the players

So it’s not 6 odd then?


Rose was playing forward and mids. Stoddart is a half back flanker. A position for him didn’t come up.

Did you watch the NEAFL?

The three best players in the twos last week were Stoddart, Jack and Clarke. Certainly nobody here is arguing for Clarke’s inclusion.
Stoddart is a half back.

Jack and Rose will give much of a muchness aside from the added experience Jack gives to the most inexperienced side in the last round. I don’t think it’s controversial. Jack was never retired, he was merely taking a longer road back to make sure his body was right.

I have to lol though. Never thought I’d see the day that people are upset Rose was dropped.

Ronke should consider himself lucky.

Stoddart was playing as HB flanker when he was gifted a game in the seniors and subsequently played as a forward.

If you think Jack could of kicked the goal that Rose did last weekend you are having a laugh. So no, not much of a muchness.

Spot on.

 

[Olian]

So he averages 10 disposals...is he playing ruck? What an awful selection, playing favourites again

How would you know if he’s playing favourites? He may have dropped Rose because he barely touched the ball in the second half last week. Rose was unlucky because he had a few teammates who struggled.

I'd love shaw but no what you mean. Someone like Scott Camporeale would be a good addition imo.

 

[legend166]

Really have to feel sorry for James Rose. Put together a pretty decent string of three games and then has a quiet one and is immediately dropped for a guy so far over the hill he's crossed the horizon and proved the earth is, in fact, round.

And how did that work out for him?

Ask your mate Horse.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Ask your mate Horse.

No point he is eating $100 bills excreting the same and dossing down under a blanket made of the folding stuff.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Jack at his worse will offer much, much more than Ronke, Rose, Florent & Hayward did last week.

Absolute rubbish!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I now have a bad feeling about this match.

Who exactly is Jose working for?

It is like the Indian Bookies have control of our Club. All we needed was for Jose to pick the ghost of Hansie Cronje.

Hoping there is something to the Amartey as an emergency situation..

There is, he’s an emergency!

You don't do a podcast do you? Reckon it'd be a treat if you did.

 

[Kapanis]

Geez, Rose, dont agree with that at all, baffling tbh.

 

[Swansujelly]

You wonder sometimes.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Geez, Rose, dont agree with that at all, baffling tbh.

I think Rose is stiff given Ronke, but Jack is a decent form selection. We did lose last week and Jack was our best mid by a distance.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The key word is baffling. Same as 5-4-34.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

The interesting one is Amartey. A swap with he and Ronke wouldn’t surprise.

That's what i'm hoping for. As good as Aliir was in the ruck we were a mess structurally and bringing in a bloke under 180cm does nothing to fix that.

 

[BloodRet]

Wtf Horse. Rose is VERY stiff. Been playing his best footy with us. Kicked a peach from a tough angle against essendon too. Don't understand this one at all.

Amartey for Ronke, you’re ******* kidding aren’t you? He won’t make it!

 

[TheMase]

If it were intended for Amartey to play, he would have been named.

Invites his family along for debut etc.

No chance he plays. Name in emergencies due to pretty solid NEAFL game last week.

 

[ashep]

Season gone, Jack gets a bit of a farewell tour. I'm sure there's been a word in Rose's ear. If we were still playing for sheepstations, Jack would be playing two's.

Let's just relax.
