It's a real concern that the team that was the youngest of all clubs for most games last year was given a fixture like this, given the AFL knew the interchange cap would increase the risk of soft tissue injuries off short breaks. We have been unlucky but not done any favours either. Need to start getting these blokes back

No afl club with our recent fixture or injuries would have gotten near the swans last night. God I hope Viney isn't our for very long

Why is Tyson being suggested as an out??

Honestly I think the bugg hit fired the swans up! Both sides looked a little flat but as soon as that happened they started to really dominate

Not the end of the world, few short breaks, smashed by injury. But we fought it out, just not good enough with those outs. Fingers crossed Viney isn't to bad but gee it doesn't look good

Punched mills in the face, will get 5 minimum but probably more, he's out of the game with a very swollen eye

The pies did this to us, as did the crows for a patch. This lead is absolutely nothing I'd put hunt behind the ball. Play hannan out of the square

Losing mills might hurt the swans badly with their run in a game like this off a short break

Bugg is gone for a while there lol

We need to wake up, our pressure is miles off early. Blokes jogging

Bugg is gone for a while there lol

Is it wet?

Have to start well, the swans will try and jump us

I always really liked the Tyson-Salem for 2 trade I still think we clearly won that trade

Beating the west coast eagles in Perth on a short break with the players we had out is a bigger ask than beating the swans at a ground they don't play very well

I genuinely think our speed will trouble the swans a lot, so if our pressure is up and our mids have a crack we should get the job done. Garletts pressure will be missed but hopefully the other boys step up to cover him. This group seems to have so much belief at the moment I just can't see us losing this game. We've set ourselves

Yep! Long accurate kick and a tough kid as well

Gone for four weeks

I think when I saw the incident the first time I immediately thought four weeks, two weeks doesn't feel enough. Good character shouldn't be relevant, I think they should just look at the act, the act alone is worse than two weeks. Good character shouldn't reduce the penalty by two weeks

Very true OD, my opinion is based on the idea he does get a really good run at it and stays on the park. Fingers crossed he gets the opportunity

Wait and see I am happy to be on record saying that health permitting gus will be as good as those two. A slightly different player but good in his own way

We've seen what Oliver and petracca have done this year for the side, I think people forget brayshaw is more than capable of being as good as those two. The kid has talent to burn and a work ethic to match.

He's a beautiful kick so in that sense he's a good replacement for Salem

Seriously if Michael hibberd is not starting 18 in the all Australian side I'd be shocked! He's been a huge part of our rise

Exactly! And the positive spin is that we are creating depth and opportunities. We need those three to have any sort of impact during finals
