Unofficial Preview Swans vs LolNorf @ EddieHead

[LukeParkerno1]

How is Rohan waltzing back in again?

 

[grimlock]

Fox not named on the extended bench. While this doesnt mean he is 100% safe, it’s very rare for the cuts to come from outside the bench

My guess

O’Riordan for McVeigh
Heeney for Hannebery
Papley for Jack
Rohan for Towers

Robinson to play more wing.

 

[TheMase]

Considering Towers is listed on bench I'm expecting him to be on the block

True I didn’t really look at the bench at the time but assumed it would be Towers anyway.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

I'm expecting Rohan to come in for Towers as the 2nd ruck option. Longmire and Rohan have become a truly iconic duo.

Like that red headed jockey Red Pollard riding that ‘horse’ Seabiscuit...that type of iconic duo?

Fox was great last week. I would be very surprised if he gets dropped.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Fox was great last week. I would be very surprised if he gets dropped.

He was great before he was dropped the first time though. It is as if Longmire detests any player with an ounce of flair.

 

[TheMase]

How is Rohan waltzing back in again?

Probably because last week the ball that did come into the forward line just walked back out again. We didn’t create forward pressure and therefore repeat entries (and we allowed the Cats to do the same to us back).

With Rohan and Papley back along with Ronke we can create the forward pressure that generates turnovers, repeat entries and of course goals.

Towers didn’t offer anymore than Rohan last week with the ball and I doubt he added much pressure up forward either.

Robinson will probably play Hanneberys guy running role, has a very good tank.

 

[TheMase]

He was great before he was dropped the first time though. It is as if Longmire detests any player with an ounce of flair.

Averages 12 disposals from his 5 games so far and that includes the 20 last week bumping it up.

He didn’t make himself unstoppable last stint, let alone being great. He was pretty good last week however.

I am not even sure I would say Fox has flair either!

 

[TheMase]

Extremely happy for Colin O!
A very much deserved call up to the senior side. I’ve really liked what he brings in the NEAFL and I have sneaking suspicion he will be able to bring it at senior level.

Am expecting a strong debut by the lad!

[MarkP]

Probably would have been easier to name the 2 players on the list that wont be playing

Oh FFS, this shit again.

 

[RUNVS]

Longmire rivals Churchill and Obama for his charismatic public speaking skills.

[The King!]

Good selections all things considered

Very much so. He’s getting a game because of McVeigh’s injury but as Longmire noted earlier in the week, his form has been at a consistently high level he was under serious consideration anyway.

I’m happy because he’ll bring something a little different to our backline. A bit more run and carry but with better decision making than Jones is providing at the moment.

Swans just ain't the same without an Irishman off the half back line so I'm hoping he makes the spot his own.

If Rohan waltzes back in the side then we deserve to lose.

Is this how he keeps getting selected? This bizarre myth that he's actually good at forward pressure?

Yet 12 disposals is a fantastic Rohan game. I’d rather have given Fox a few more games.

You do realise Fox is playing?

 

[TheMase]

I didn’t say I agree with his selection necessarily. He will give more pressure than Towers though I suspect.

Yet 12 disposals is a fantastic Rohan game. I’d rather have given Fox a few more games.

It’s not all about disposals, but again my original selections in this thread had another player in. By the way Towers had 8 disposals and zero marks last week.

Fox is playing as Mick said.

 

[Teddy chester]

Marsh will be in not Rohan.

Good luck to the newbie, hope he makes the spot his own

 

[Punts]

Marsh should get a game before Rohan if the club is picking on form

Was impressive on the weekend

 

[Tuco]

Pumped. Love a shiny new Rookie!

I like how our extended bench is in alphabetical order. Very tidy and might keep North guessing. Looks like the 3 we all want will be in though and Cameron there in case Sinkers isn't up for it.

Towers was still impacting contests in the fourth last week. Didn't exactly rack up the stats, but he kept on keeping on. Might well be enough to keep him in. I reckon he'll be better for the run.
