Preview Sydney Swans vs Fremantle Dockers, Sunday 12:30pm @ Metricon

[rustycrate]

Reid and Ronke in .

Ronke as emergency ? I suppose

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

I've never understood why you'd have a zero-game player listed as an emergency. Surely for their first game, you are very explicit if they're playing or not.

 

[bedford]

Last sentence applies. In context with this thread. Sorry Bedders

Correct , but the earlier stuff derails the thread and is better served imo in the general thread

 

[caesar88]

That's a strong team we've named, though I'm slightly worried we have too many low-possession players who could easily become passengers. Good news is those guys are essentially playing to keep their spots so I'm expecting a solid effort from all.

OK

 

[Millky95]

Hopefully Stephens is medical sub. * debuting as a sub that isn't at least guaranteed some game time

 

[swanssince2002]

Maybe they think the team is so strong that we could afford to give players an opportunity to see what they got before the upcoming offseason (arguably one of our most important ones in a long time).

 

[GoodesStuff]

Good changes imo

 

[hairy biker]

So in the 22 we have 4 notional small forwards in Bell, Papley, Ronke & Wicks (and you could add Gulden if you wished).

Tall/midsize fwds in Franklin, Hayward, Heeney & Reid (2nd ruck).

Given our defensive set up and Freo's fwd line does Bell or Wicks go back?

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Ronke as emergency ? I suppose

On the bench. He's in.

 

[caesar88]

Well no matter how we feel about his inclusion, how great is it to see Ronke get a game? He hasn't played an AFL match since round 5 last year, and has been battling injuries pretty much the whole time since then! So I hope for the sake of his hard work and perseverance more than anything that he goes well

 

[S120]

I'm expecting Heeney to play off a wing from the first bounce with Ronke being brought in.

 

[Donza]

Glad its Stephens and not Bell out ..

He was better when he went to the wing last sunday.

 

[Meths]

Heading down to the GC to watch this game... can't wait, I haven't been to the footy in years.

Certainly one of the strongest forward lines named all year

Turn it up Stephens is the future

 

[Ah12]

Any idea when Mills will back?

 

[RUNVS]

Any idea when Mills will back?

Next week I think.

 

[SM]

Ronke as emergency ? I suppose

No he's in the 22 for Stephens.

 

[bedford]

Next week I think.

Probably doing supercoach this bloke

 

[RUNVS]

No he's in the 22 for Stephens.

Don't agree with that. Stephens needs to be given 3 or 4 games in a row to get some continuity in his game.

 

[rustycrate]

No he's in the 22 for Stephens.

Shows the strength of our midfield if so.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I don’t see it with Ronke but May he kick five and have a blinder!

 

[bedford]

Don't agree with that. Stephens needs to be given 3 or 4 games in a row to get some continuity in his game.

He never has had any footy smarts that bloke
