Roberts played a VFL practice match last weekend, the day after the sub appearance. Sheldrick is the one they'd be more concerned about getting back to full fitness in the VFL.

I wasn't aware that Roberts played in the VFL practice match.

Goes to show just how insightful the Swans website coverage is .....

For those just checking into this thread, my recommendation is you give page 12 a miss. Unless you like roller coaster rides …

I look forward to Sunday when Gulden's named, but as the sub.

 

[dosser]

He’s never seen a baby cow before….

They can be a bit puzzling to us city folk.

I call bull.

 

[GoodesStuff]

Horse was asked in the presser on Wednesday about Gulden and said "he just had a tight calf, he trained and was fine this morning".

 

[Gimmeafree]

I call bull.

Oh daaaaaaaad

 

[Bloods86]

Oh daaaaaaaad

Hey, at least they didn't say that Gulden's stock could diminish with a calf issue.

 

[Edmund hunt]

Going to the game this week and hopefully all the home games thanks to my membership. May even treat myself to a hoodie from the team store.

That's what I herd, too.

 

[caesar88]

Geez we're really milking this calf rumour for all its worth aren't we

We'll beef orgetting them all soon.

"Herd it on SEN"

How can people be steered so wrong?

I just grazed over it.

I heard that as soon as there was a possibility that Gulden's calf was playing up and we were looking to replace some cattle, Angus put his hoof up to be considered.

Yep, but there's no way Errol gets through forequarters.

 

[Bloods86]

I thought mine were clever.

 

[Donza]

I thought mine were clever.

The steaks were high.

 

[Bloods86]

Anyway I think there's been enough time waste on puns related to cows. Patty McCartin to regain his intercept crown against the Hawks or will Rampe continue on?

I see what you did there...

It's always best if you see them.

No chance Errol’s calves were toasted after last week.

I take the SEN rumours with a grain of salt on my cheese toastie

So do i , but just posted what some flog texted in

I think we should probably be a bit considerate to people who don't really appreciate cow jokes, or who don't get the cheese toastie discourse. I can't imagine it's overly fun to read page after page of gags you simply don't get. So I will attempt to pivot the conversation away from cows, or toasties.

I'm intrigued to see how the forward line goes. I've long been a believer in the potential of a McDonald/McLean/Amartey forward line, and now there's a good chance we'll see it. I think each of their strengths and weaknesses balance each other out well.

I also think Hawthorn have some great young players. Obviously in a flogging by Essendon, they don't look impressive. But when they're on, there's few young cores like Newcombe, Jiath, Scrimshaw, Day, Macdonald, Ward etc in the comp (IMO). Easy to forget that with our young core in 2020, we only won five games, and had some horrible losses, but we looked damn good in the five games we won.

So we do need to be on our game, because if we took it easy and then lost to Hawthorn, that would be udderly embarrassing.

Hasn't Scrimshaw at least been struggling to get picked/played during pre-season? I seem to have read that somewhere.

Anyway, with or without Gulden, their midfield is pretty bare. I can only imagine our main quartet of Mills, Parker, Warner and Rowbottom, are rubbing their four stomachs in anticipation.
