If Chandler is not 100% , then Laurie or Melksham should play.Harmes and Dunstan also need to be considered.

Agree, to many players do not put in, ABN, Chandler, Hunter, not hungry enough.Gawn, Lever Hibberd seem fit but not match fit…the coaching has been pathetic last two weeks.Overall, team seem in turmoil, lost without real purpose of working together , hopefully second half turn around. Harmes is a certainty to be recalled , maybe Dunstan to replace Jordon or Sparrow, Both of these need to become far more consistent .Petracca needs to stop lair rising and perform

AGREE.

Woeful display by senior footballers except Harmes

Strong team but will get a lot better…Ferris- White on interchange will be a worthwhile watch along with Jefferson, also on interchange.Hopefully Harmes has another good half as others are pathetic re TMac and Brown..Backline very poor, so far, first half

Strong team but will get a lot better…Ferris- White on interchange will be a worthwhile watch along with Jefferson, also on interchange.Hopefully Harmes has another good game.. Dunstan seems to be sub

McVee might make it, and I agree should have more games , but in my opinion give him3 more,and then ,maybe a rest- managed .Bowey a rest in the VFL.

Brayshaw is a good average footballer as the late Jack Dyer would say - and is played out of position.His role should be as a mid - rotation .

He played well. Might be a chance again in AFL…could replace a couple .Brown and TMac .

I think he is showing improvement….maybe a rookie ? Ferris- White , where is he currently playing ?

Agree with your thoughts but we did show list weaknesses that we need to cover these issues in my opinion.Plus we should be giving Disco Turner and maybe even Howes ago before we let Tomlinson etc back at AFL level.

We were outplayed, out coached in a pathetic, appalling display showing up deep weaknesses in our list as well as similar to what happened against Brisbane. We need to recruit another quality half back flanker as Bowey and McVee are not up to it as yet.Brayshaw is not a HBF in my opinion and is wasted there.He needs to play on ball .We also need to recruit another tall ruckman type if the two young ones in Verall,Ferris- White is not up to it.Don’t even know where Ferris- White is playing.The list shows a large weakness when Salem, Lever, Hibberd and in particular Gawn is out.Taylor/ Lamb need to take note and gain these types to cover this list issues especially now when we have these injuries .The team seemed to not show spirit and basic football class with in particular fumbling , not punching the ball away etc….this was never addressed in the game by the coaches .

I think we will try this week- against Essendon ,just before Gawn returns which may make 4 plus Fritsch, - JVR, BBB, TMac & Maxy

100 for us…already played over 100 for Essendon . If no other injuries - Pickett for Hibberd or Bowey.

Agree- but both seem to have good skills - ability…Howes missed a lot of football last year, seems like he could develop into a steady HB flanker or wing whilst Jefferson is showing as good ability as JVR did same time last year.

Channel 9 sports news stated May left the ground but returned and completed his session .

Yes- a rest, mentally as well as he is not good enough to play AFL as yet…will not play this week although maybe the sub.

Tremendous insight. Appreciate that enlightens areas that we don’t gain great knowledge…thank you Binman and Andy

Petty needs to settle down in the back line. We have enough quality in our forwards ,specially when Gawn goes forward . If Schache had been fit , he surely would have been very heavily considered. Tmac with his foot injury cannot be expected to ruck, thus JVR needs to come in. I expect the Swans to play 3 talls , therefore May, Petty, Tomlinson also play with Lever to play on flank or back pocket.It maybe Hibberd comes in and replaces Tomlinson.Young McVee needs a rest (managed).

How much has he learnt from Darren Burgess.

Thanks Webber for your insights…great news re Gawn.We can cope without him, but, we need to get him right as well as gain another ruck as a standby.Schache and JVR did well with Casey.Pity Bell could not be called up, did well Nader the circumstances.

I think he MAY.

Fully agree- couldn’t say it any better ….but, I would like to see Sparrow get a better go, especially up against lesser teams, needs more action in the guts.( experience).

1/ Oliver 2/ Flower 3/ Gawn 4/ Neitz 5/ Stuart Spencer with Special mention to many others including Jim Stynes, Petracca, Dixon, Ox, May, Townsend

How has his own body stood up to preseason training. Has his injuries fully gone now?
