Unofficial Preview Round 8 vs Hawthorn. The Luke Brennan Cup

[Punts]

Bell lol

 

[Punts]

The dud recruits in and out in a weekly basis

Blakey will win the most favourable player award surely now

 

[TheMase]

Bell as I suspected.

So so happy for Ling! I had a funny feeling that we would see him pretty soon!

Interesting that COR is noted as omitted and on the emergencies, not injured.

 

[SeanM]

Bell got good reviews as an inside mid in recent scratch matches.

 

[grimlock]

So

Bell for Hewett
Ling for Stoddart
Reid for O'Riordan (with Aliir moving to defence)
Gray for Hayward
Taylor for Warner

 

[Jawdon Dorson]

What a joke at the selection table agin win or loose

In what way?

 

[wills2g]

hope bell has improved, he wasnt much last year

perform or bust for ling, so i reckon he'd be feeling the pressure

COR probably be delisted? not good that hes been omitted

 

[Punts]

In what way?

How does Blakey get a game

Why back to duds in grey and Taylor and not wicks?

Thought Ling was on limited minutes and not getting a kick

How isn’t mcirey not in?

 

[Punts]

Be pretty pissed if I was foot

 

[Chaisa]

Bit weird Taylor and Gray got back in the side so soon. Would've preferred to see Wicks and Foot there instead.

Keen to see what Ling can provide. He's looking like a big failure right now so if he flops, it's not going to look good.

Pressure on Bell to perform - he's done well in the scratchies but AFL is a completely different ball game. I'm skeptical but he's earned a go.

Blakey lucky but maybe Reid being back helps his confidence a bit. Otherwise, back to the scratchies for you.

 

[Jimbo OZ]

I understand some frustration with Taylor and Gray getting picked but there needs to be some experience and mature bodies in the side.

Balance I presume. Probably reluctant to flood the team with too many debutantes and decimate everyone's confidence.

That being said, McInerney still not being selected is weird.

 

[The King!]

taylor sucks, Gray is average dont need to see either, bell i dont rate
reid shouldnt be on an afl list but he is tall so may as well pick him for the usual reason

ling better perform been carried a while

rather warner stay

cor out is good, blakey carried again

 

[SSwans2011]

Looks like a pretty quick side. Excited to see how they play. Should hopefully be a good brand of footy to watch.

Not even an emergency.

I have not been to training so not sure on who is in form in the scratch matches but seems they are giving some young guys a go without playing an under 19's team. I guess Ling has worked his butt off the last couple of years just to get on the park so the coaches see he deserves a chance. With Blakey I guess it has been difficult for him being a key forward with no support from a big body like Reid who unlike popular opinion on here I think is a very important player for us

 

[The King!]

blakey must have his magnet concreted to the team board

 

[Jawdon Dorson]

Not even an emergency.

maybe got a niggle, who knows but games every 4 or 5 days means he will get another crack

 

[The King!]

why?
what if they are s**t?

otherwise why not recall reg grundy, teddy richardsm goodes out of retirement, at least we get nostalgia while they play poorly

 

[mikey_san]

Swans coaching staff planning the weekend tactics.

I think they may be giving everyone a go this year. Likely 15 blokes being removed from the list if list sizes are being reduced. McInerney may have credits in the bank already. But I dont really know.

 

[The King!]

Be pretty enjoyed if I was foot

mcinnernery too, he should ask for a trade to a team that will pick him

If players are struggling for selection at the Swans, I don't think they'd be likely to see much game time at most other clubs.
