We seemed to defend fine in the first quarter of a season…it’s team defence meaning our useless mids can stop giving up clearance after clearance and putting defenders under pressure

I for one am glad to be going to the game so I don't have to listen to this half of the quad.

I don’t mind Dunstall he’s better than Eddie
Game-day commentary he's ok (especially when not on Triple M), just can't help thinking of him and Bounce.

Don’t listen to Bounce so don’t care what he does there
Knows his stuff that’s all you want as a commentator

Swans Instagram stories has some shots from the training, they were doing some sort of match sim with some assistants (Kirk, Cox, Mathews, McVeigh, and I think Charlie Gardiner?!) making up the numbers of the B side wearing white. You can see Stephens, Gould, O'Riordan, McLean and Rowbottom(!) pulling on the white bib for the B side. Brand and Taylor didn't put any on.

imagine the vic media going to town ... "Young Swan stabbed by teammate's mum" ... "Swan Rising Star pays ultimate price for awful, awful haircut" ... "McGuire: Swans hairdressing academy a disgrace!"
I think we've found out from previous weeks that bibs, caps, vests etc don't necessarily translate to in/out at selection. It could always mean something else, like mostly an A vs B side, but someone on the A side is going to do a tagging role and they throw someone over to the other side for a harder training matchup.

remember a few years back we were trying to id players by the colour of their boots?
Will be one of the most anticipated team selections tonight!

Happy with the changes. Gulden is such a star, good to see him back in
Very interesting re: Brand coming in without a defender dropping out. Suggests Hewett might be finally moved from defence. Either to the midfield with perhaps Parker playing forward more or to the forward line himself to reprise his debut year role at HF.
Dawson played the final quarter against Hawthorn on a wing so I guess that is another possibility but unlikely I imagine.

Still twitch every time I see Hewett named in defence. I'll allow it if he's tagging Rozee.

You can tell Longmire's emphasis by the INs and outs this week. The main one being Macdonald out for Brand. Gulden on for Wicks is like for like. But to send a key forward out for a key back trumpets a total defensive mindset.
I think the three talls would have been very beneficial against Port, who are a little undersized in defence. But not to be. This now puts far more pressure on Amartey and Franklin. Franklin has never been a pack mark specialist and for a few weeks now we have seen him in that sort of role. Not his forte. As far actually taking a pack Mark it will be left to Amartey and Hickey

Maybe Fox just to general defender role. 3 "tall" backs vs 3 tall fwds. Cunningham maybe more an upfield role - he'd be ideal for Amon.
Pack marks? Most effective i50s this season have been medium kicks to leads or one-on-ones. Bombing to packs is not a typical forward entry.

Unpopular opinion - but I would have really liked to have seen Blakey in.
Bell just never fails to underwhelm & his selection is a bit disappointing.
