Past Contests:
2021 round 23 @ Metricon Swans d. GCS 87 points (Franklin 6, Heeney 3, Papley 3, McLean 2, Wicks 2, he who will not be named 1, Hickey, Mills, Rowbottom 1 each)
2021 round 06 @ Metricon - Perhaps we will not discuss this loss.
GCS have only 2 wins at the SCG from 6 matches.
Injuries:
Harry Cunningham? (groin)
Dane Rampe? (limping during game, cork?)
The ifs and the buts
Patrick McCartin
if passes test or is managed - replaces Sam Reid?
if no PMc, Will Gould to debut.
Harry Cunningham
if injured, does Colin O’Riordan (although played only 3 quarters in the reserves, is he still managed?) or does Marc Sheather debut?
Tom Hickey (aka Ruck Jesus or RJ)
John Longmire in the post-match, mentioned the possibility of Peter Ladhams and Hickey playing together
Logan McDonald for Sam Reid?
If we go tall with Franklin and McDonald/Reid up forward and if we two rucks, will Hayden McLean be an out?
The Match Ups
The Mids
Touk Miller – oh how I would love to have Touk at the Swans. Hopefully Callum Mills can live up to the history of his surname and grind Touk Miller down.
The Bloods will have Noah Anderson, Lachlan Weller and Brendan Fiorini to also contend with, not to mention Matt Rowell.
Rucks
Hopefully we will have the dual combination of Tom Hickey and Peter Ladhams to wear down the dominance of the Sydney boy of Jarrod Witts (original club Sydney Uni).
The Backs
Levi Casboult and Mabior Choi have found a new lease on life after their move to GCS.
Paddy/Gould and Tom McCartin will need to cover them
The Forwards
We need
1. no long bombing into the forward line
2. our mids to lower their eyes and to look for players one on one
3. sorry Lance -
your six goals but we need a spread of goal kickers
4. need our tall forwards to spread
Let’s call this another danger game?
By the end of the day, as the Sun(s) goes down, the swans will swarm and fly up.
Bloods by 36 points.
