Preview Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats, Rd 7, Saturday May 1 @ SCG

[TheMase]

I am not in the cynical crowd that believe Buddy's crowd factor dictates how and when we play him. However I think it's naive to think that if Buddy was back this week, the media team would wait until the night before a home match to announce it. They would've at the very least teased the possibility of it all week...

It seems unlikely i know.

Other option is Hickey comes in and Sinclair goes forward. That might make more sense given reports.

So

Outs Hewett (Rampe), Brand (McCartin), Reid (Hickey), Blakey (Stephens)

COR as sub? (Campbell)

Sinclair goes forward.

 

[caesar88]

So I wonder if next to Blakey's name it will say "corked thigh" or "omitted"...

 

[HighReeve]

COR as sub makes sense to me.

Hayward seems a good option

 

[SwansProudly]

Posted, is this a hint?

 

[caesar88]

Posted, is this a hint?

If hint means a confirmation then yes

 

[caesar88]

Geez I hope we know what we are doing

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Maybe for once it will work for us? surely we are due for some luck.

Looks like you were right Masey. Really don't like the idea of Sinclair and McLean sharing a forward line as they lack mobility and last week they were not good when down there together. However if there is any week to try it, it's against Geelong, whose defence is strong and experienced, but not quick. Tuohy the concern there... maybe a Wicks could do a job on him, a la the job he did on Brodie Smith ?

 

[Punts]

Good to see Cor a true defender

 

[Punts]

Brand isn’t up to it imo

Blakey needs a run in the 2s

In: Hickey McCartin O'Riordan Stephens
Out: Blakey Brand Campbell (last week's sub) Hewett Reid

Hickey for Reid (Sinclair to forwards)
McCartin for Brand
Stephens for Blakey on a wing
O'Riordan for Hewett on a HBF.

Hi Horse

 

[Troystenvic]

We'll win this

 

[BloodySwan]

Pretty happy with the changes. Defence should get stronger with those 2 inclusions

 

[SwansProudly]

With Hickey back would have changed the betting?
PS. I have no idea how to bet.

 

[Prochard123]

How is Hickey back?

 

[Kapers]

What, give me whatever Hickey is eating.

 

[Kapers]

How is Hickey back?

Cyborg leg?

 

[Glenn_]

Geez I hope we know what we are doing

Yep, I have a nagging doubt in my mind things are being rushed.
Hope to be proven wrong.

 

[SwansProudly]

We'll win this

perhaps for a young girl

 

[Wolfgang West]

We'll win this

Please.

I think selecting Sinclair means we can manage Hickey's minutes if we need to. Hickey usually has high time on ground but I hope they don't push him too hard.
