If we can win at the SCG, we can win anywhere!

Big game this.

They're a bloody good team but the giant killing Swans have already accounted for the Lions, Tigers and Cats.

The Dees are due for a fall and I reckon we can get it done.

Love watching us play on the MCG too!

Swans by 15.

OUTS: Melican, Clarke
IN: Brand, Fox

Fox to HBF, Mills to mids, Parker forward, Hayward to sub

Wouldn't mind Campbell getting back in but can't see them dropping Cunningham who was poor.

McDonald for Sinclair maybe but doubt it also

Rampe and Fox will play imo , not sure who they are dropping.
Spewing for melican

Not sure we go with Sinclair but I guess they will to try a keep structure in the front half.

Campbell played well in the 2s but they might want more consistency.
They don't want McLean in the ruck otherwise McDonald for Sinclair is the 2nd easiest choice

I'd go:

Outs: Melican, Sinclair, maaaaaaaaaaaybe Gulden.
Ins: Fox, McDonald, next up small forward (Taylor maybe? Ugh)

Gulden has looked pretty cooked last couple of weeks and can do with a rest.

Sinclair basically just functions as a tall body in the forward line so may as well get McDonald to do that job.

Logan for Sinclair - McLean can ruck while Hickey has a rest. Sinclair has been a warrior but it's gone past him, he struggles to mark or run

Rampe for Melican (injury)

Fox for Hayward - Parker goes forward and Mills takes his spot in the mids

Say what! Why are you dropping Gulden? His last goal assist was a big reason we won the game and he kicked 2 himself!
 
To me the players in contention for next week have to be McDonald, Fox and Campbell.

Rampe will be back. I highly doubt we are making 4 changes to a winning side. Can see it just being Melican for Rampe. Give Fox another week in the 2's. Not a bad thing if the young kids play a block in the NEAFL.

🦊 Absolutely dominated today in the EFL. He needs to come in.

If Rampe isn't fit sure, I just can't see them making 2 changes to a backline (1 unforced change) when we won. Can see them being conservative in the changes.

Not quite sure who replaces Melican if Sir Dane isn’t fit. Presumably Fox, but it’d leave us short a KPD.

Max Gawn going forward could cause havoc under that scenario.
 
We've had some surprise early returns from injury - Heeney with broken hand, Hickey with PCL.
Who do we expect next week? Franklin? ;)

We will end their winning streak (they won't lose to Norf)
