i think Garland is already better than Mackie. Mackie can only play one role...the roaming avoid contact & no responsibility backman. Garland loves the challenge of taking a key forward for the opposition, loves body conatct and can hurt opposition going the other way
Stop Goodes and you go along way to beating the swans. He is by far their best and most damaging player and without him firing they really struggle for fire power and class. Clearly a job for L Dunn.
i have a theory on the umpiring. I think the only way it is going to improve is by getting past players on as umpires. Until this happens we are going to have these ridiculous decisions and non decisions happen. The current crop of umpires do not have an understanding of what the player is going through out on the field and this hurts their ability to make correct decisions out on the field.

Apologies to Bail. These are the only 7 blokes who can say they gave 100% for 100% of game time
Surely we have someone just like Brown already on our list....Brad Miller.
He can play forward, back, would be more than capable to pinch hit in the ruck for 5 min a quarter. I just don't think he is in DB's plans going forward.
IN: Morton & Bail
OUT: Bartram & Cheney
Mcdonald will not have the km's in the legs to get through a full game on subi. Two great runners with nice foot skills replace two players with below par foot skills
