Preview Round 4 Alladhams LAMP: Swans v True Magpies 8th April 7:30pm @ SCG

[Bloods86]

Cunningham out

Gus in

For a start

Why do you think Gus would have made a better small forward versus the Dees, leaving aside that Cunners can play anywhere?

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

No changes. I like it

Swans twitter locking the post so no one can reply to it. I don't like it

Cowardly

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Relieved.

No rant needed.

 

[Punts]

Not sure the depth is there anyway

 

[Bloods86]

Gus for sub. Makes sense

Fox will be a late in if someone injured otherwise will have a run in the 2s. Other than him, there is no one else on the list really ready to come in

There's no VFL for us this weekend. Maybe we're having a practice match or something. Wouldn't surprise if Fox was the sub.

Not with the injuries

Cunningham out

Gus in

For a start

Do you think a 2nd gamer would be better than Cunningham?

But OK, I fail to see how dropping the pressure forward would be the statement axing that you seem to be after.

I don't hate that

More about pressure on spots. If players know there is guys in the two's biting at their heels they are forced to perform.

This just does the exact opposite

 

[Dubai Quacker]

No Stevic, no Gianfagna, no Gavine.

Things are looking up.

What was his pressure rating v dees

Not being smart

I reckon after last year Cunners knows exactly what's up in terms of pressure for spots.

If the club rated Cunningham so highly why was he rotting in the two's last year.

The replacement doesn't have to be like for like, players can be moved within the line-up

 

[GoodesStuff]

It was a belting lol

There is no spinning that

Melb won by 17 on expected score, don’t think that’s a belting especially given that it was at the G.

No need to panic losing a game in R3 so I’m glad there wasn’t any mass changes personally

 

[Bloods86]

Not being smart

His pressure was decent. It wasn't a good game, but then if the ball's constantly getting chopped off by intercept defenders, I'm not sure it's the game to look at the small defensive forward and blame them.

 

[Superstar swan]

You can't get belted off the park by a team you see yourselves as level pegging with and hold no accountability on the players

Because he was sidelined for a lengthy period due to injury, then on return both Florent and Fox had hit some form while he struggled to regain it.

It's fairly obvious what happened, doesn't mean the club stopped rating him all of a sudden.

 

[caesar88]

Dropping players after one loss can also have the exact opposite effect of making them perform. They end up playing like nervous first-gamers because they think they're in the s**t if they put a foot wrong. It's a fine line and I trust Horse & co know it. They've been ruthless at selection the last two years, I see no reason it wouldn't be the same this year.

 

[Bloods86]

Can't see that myself. They'll want him getting a full run in the ressies. Gus in good form, he will be the sub IMO.

There's no ressies.

I wasn’t blaming I was asking a question

 

[The King!]

I like it

They had a s**t game for sure, lets put it behind us and go again

Glad they didnt drop a younger guy like a Stephens

Back them in

Accountability was handled behind closed doors on the monday review right?

I Can’t trust horse lol

Conversely I'm liking Port's changes for us. Although they could have held McKenzie back another week.

Harry is a C grader, wherever he plays.
