TOPIC:

Is this the straw that breaks the camel's back? Surely West Coast can't find another top back man - would like to see Barass given a go. It's becoming a bridge too far. Still it's not over till it's over!!

You say that with a straight face Aman ?

but yes that McGovern has been huge and could it be that tipping point for the weagles. As shown with Freo and Johnson, sometimes it throws the balance out a bit. I honestly thought if young McGovern was in this week the eagles would beat the swans. I think they are going that well, but now I would have yto think about that tip.

McGovern has been a revelation to the side and will be sadly missed.
Not heard much of Barrass, can anyone fill me in on him!!

AFL.com.au says: Tall defender with good ability to read the ball in flight. Comes off his opponent at the right time to affect the contest and uses the ball smartly on the counter-attack. Possesses a penetrating and accurate left foot that can carry the lines, complemented with a strong overhead mark.

The Governor is going to be a massive loss. Why are all our big losses from our backline!?

Not sure Barrass will be ready. Might have to look at chucking a Sinclair or Darling back.

Sydney have no Ted Richards, or Tippet (tongue in cheek).
Barrass has had a good enough season in WAFL so far.
It will be good experience for him to come in for 3 or 4 games.
We will beat Sydney but Hawthorn will pour straight through the leaky bucket.

Sydney will be much tougher this week than most think.

Tippet is no loss to them based on form.
Buddy will play better without him in the team and could bag 6 plus,so who goes to Franklin?
It won't be Barrass in his first game surely.
Simpson has already stated he wont play any of the tall forwards back.
McIness is too slow imo to play down there.

Midfield domination/inside 50's and kicking acurately at goal is the key plus the match-up on Franklin.

Imo it will be a tough match,how many times do Sydney lose 2 in a row?

Schofield will go to Franklin so Buddy will win that.
Unless Barrass proves he can drop in front.
A bit of rain on Sunday could be positive for the Swans also.
I am excited.
