Tough to make changes after such a good performance but we have some good players that should be ready to come back in next week to take on Brisbane.

In: McDonald (if fit), Moloney (if fit)

Out: Bennell, Jones

Backs: MacDonald, Frawley, Rivers

Half backs: Bartram, Garland, Bruce

Centres: McDonald, Moloney, Scully

Half forwards: Bail, Jurrah, Green

Forwards: Sylvia, Watts, Wonaeamirri

Followers: Jamar, Davey, McKenzie

Interchange: Dunn, Johnson, Maric, Morton

Trengove is also a chance to come back in, but for who???

I understand McDonald and Moloney are automatic selections, but how do you drop anyone?

Jones plays an important role every week. 2 goals this week as well, played a pretty nice game playing on Kirk.

Bennel plays a really crucial role in our forward line with his forward line pressure. 14 goals or something from turnovers was purely due to our pressure in the forward line. Bennel sets that example. He stays for sure!

Agree, it is very tough to drop anyone, but as you said, McDonald and Moloney are automatics selections, or are they?

With the 6 days turnaround I'm sure they will consider resting some of the younger guys so I expect to see some 'general soreness' omissions this week if McDonald and/or Moloney are fit to come back in.

Is Scully a chance to be rested?

Out: Maric, Johnson? Someone else?

In: McDonald, Moloney, Trengove?

My normal goal is to align my expectations with a likely reality, but this week I have absolutely no idea. It seems absurd that we can play a game like that and have three potential unforced changes. I don't want to drop anyone.

I call on my right to quit my armchair selector position for the week as it's too hard :)

Terrible problem to have, eh? I don't think I will play this game next year if we have Gysberts, Tapscott, Blease, Gawn, etc and whoever we draft pushing for spots. :)

IN: MOLONEY

OUT: SCULLY

Perhaps bring back Junior and only if he's cherry ripe

i know this is a mssive game, we will be going in favourites and brisbane will fancy themselves to notch their first win in a while- remember they only lost to the saints by a few goals the other week.

Strong feeling that Watts will be rested.

Would not surprise me. The body might be a little banged up and he might need a rest.

Considering Trengove was 'rested' for an interstate game, I expect the same to happen to Scully.

IN: Trengove

OUT: Scully

Would be very difficult to drop anyone on todays performance. Maybe Scully will be rested. I don't think Watts will miss, hes starting to put together some consistant performances and with Bate out is our link up man on the half forward line. Super happy with Bartram's effort today, im my first post on demonland i stated he's always the 1st name to come up on these threads, but today he showed how important he is. Sure he doesnt have the skills, but his endevour and defensive work is brilliant. Don't rest McKenzie, he's tackling pressure is paramount and the main reason Swans had little impact around stoppages today.

Possible ins : Moloney, McDonald and Trengove

Possible outs: ?????

Tend to agree. Just a rest though for Sculls, certainly not form. I saw Beamer limping badly today, be very surprised if he comes back in next week(How did we get away with naming him in the 22??, he was never a chance of playing). Perhaps a rest for J Watts would not be a bad idea? Warnock will also be considered for 1 of the gorillas.

Hardest decision all year... but if Moloney and Junior are fit and ready, you certainly put them straight back into the side.

IN: McDonald (if fit... again), Moloney, Trengove

OUT: Bail, McKenzie (general soreness), Scully (general soreness)

P.S. Has Dunny turned a corner or what??? Wowza! :)

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?
