Who is the other out for Sydney?

Also fist pump Lee and macaffer getting a game

 

[VSTone]

Stants named to start at halfback. Don't know if that actually has any significance, but I like that a lot.

I doubt it...

Doubt what?

hird said that they would pay more attention to swan this week after he has tore the bombers a new one on the last three occasions... does that change anyone's captaincy calmness?

 

[VSTone]

all my potential loophole covers are playing thurs.... damn

Hoping to escape the tag maybe? I think Marty Clarke picked him up last time - but Stants is showing a bit more resilience to the tag this season.

Agreed...fairly sure hes been named there every week this year so far.

This does concern me. I would think Hocking will go to Pendlebury but then who would run with Swan? My only loophole option would be Crouch but I'm trading him out this weekend instead of Viney. If Swan has a quiet game then it's a massive advantage to those that can loophole.

In the end, I think i will just suck it up and stick with Swan. To trade out Viney instead of Crouch would mean I don't get any price rise and using the loophole also requires people to risk having no emergency in a position.

Still, it would be nice to have two shots at a captain.

thuggery at it's best... saw it and had to post it ...

Akin to swan smashing out 240 flat from 60 possessions tommorrow? 480 with the C on him

Swan will probably go head-to-head with Watson.

Do we play Caff in front of Mayes if he avoids the vest?

Mayes all the way.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Mayes vs Melbourne. Unless that banana Voss does something stupid with him, Mayes will score well.

 

[Torz]

Can't see Mayes getting much attention. And he's already shown to love the outside mark-kick game. Brisbane should be giving it to him, because he uses it pretty well.

Daniel Rich major shoulder injury at training - 2 months out http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-24/rich-facing-two-months-out

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Moloney quite possibly getting the tag this week, lets hope McKenzie doesn't make his way in.

Drats, didn't think of that. With Hanley and Rich out he's very likely to get attention. I was banking in him flying under the radar this season.

Would you bother? He's mostly inside and doesn't gut run around the ground much. You've still got Redden that could be tagged.

Zorko? Would he be above in the tagging order? If he is given midfield time with Rich's absence, he would get the tag over Moloney imo.

True, most teams seem to be going to Zorko this season.

 

[TedDougChris]

Cloke (at the last minute), Swan (C), Heppell and Goddard - plus Dwyer and Macaffer on the bench.
