I think we have plenty of options on paper up forward to kick goals. The question is will they perform.
Moody, Mitch Morton, Collard, Bevan, Stack, Busher.

Reckon at least 2 of those players have to kick 10 between them and form says that aint gunna happen.
Busher is not a noted goal kicker,Stack is just not kicking them,Collard will be closely guarded,Moody rarely kicks bagfulls which leaves the bulk of the scoring in my opinion to Bevan and Morton.
And knowing or tactician of a coach he's likey to line Mitch Morton up in the backline.


I agree Ugle must have missed a training run because theres no way he'd be droped because of form.

Yes that's him.

Interesting that 3 of our better players in this game 5 weeks ago wont be playing in ugle, power and lynch! Cant believe that we are nearly halfway through the season and still without our butcher medallist. He is a real loss for our average midfield! How long does it take for a bloody broken wrist to heal??????

Really happy Dekkers is back. A bit worried he will be underdone though and looks a bit desperate throwing him straight in after 3 weeks out with injury! Feel sorry for Risol tomorrow. The guy will be absolutely run off his feet dealing with swannies forwards. Good to have jarryd back to lend a hand. Risol, Morton and Sinclair are a pretty formidable back row on their day but they cant cover them all unfortunately and swans midfielders and wingers some how always find a way to kick 5 goals between them when it counts!

Collard for me is the one player who can give us a sniff! Morton, moody, Stack and Bev will usually get the best defenders which leaves the little fella a bit of reign to kick a few and he needs to tomorrow. As for Hug and Richardson they shouldn't play as they are 12 months off playing consistant footy to the level expected in the firsts.

Cary, Geappen, Notte, Faulkner, boakhurst will be the dangers and FFS someone stand at half forward and fill the gap that Rogers somehow always finds when playing against his old side!!

For me the coaching staff are under the most pressure of anyone associated with this game tomorrow and another failure regardless of any margin will not only seal the fate of the team......but to the off field 'leadership' to have led us into this position in the first place.

Swans by 4 goals:(

Lucifer I really don't know what Lynch did to get dropped. Looksa good sized midfielder and one quiet game from Keast and he's dropped. Agree with you Hug and Richardson are not up to it. Maybe a sign tthe coach is picking his Yes men? I think Dekkers has missed more than a few weeks. Didn't he get injured in the WP game up at Joondy?

Yes Dekkers has been out a long time (your right DD actually been 6-7 weeks) so nobody should be surprised if he has a barry crocker tomorrow! As I said its a sign of desperation to bring in a player who has had over 5 weeks out and not play at least one game in the magoos!

Matty Jukes has been slipping under the radar of late as well. He's kicked 10 in the last 3 games and 18 for the year to be 4th in the league. He's a medium forward who's good at ground level but also has a great pair of hands.

Yes robber jukesy definitely one that will require some attention. Swans forward line too strong for us me thinks!

Notice the ABC in their wisdom have decided not to broadcast the game today and instead elected to do the derby on Monday. I can't recall them ever changing from the Saturday. We have been on the box once this season!!

Agree with everything you said Lucifer. Must win this game to stand a chance. If we play four quarters, which we haven't done so far thus year then I reckon we will win.
