Marchbank not a bad option given they have McDonald, Amartey and McLean up forward. But based on history, he'll likely go down with an injury first game back too.

Marchy will be fine - provided he keeps out of Boydy’s way!

I doubt whether Boyd will be the sub and that gives us eight defenders in 22.  I can’t really see Williams starting on the wing but one of those eight defenders will have a different role 🤔

Given our injury woes, they’re not bad ins.  I probably would have gone with Binns over Carroll but Bot is probably better able to match the Sydney mids’ physicality.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how we line up for the bounce … and I think we might surprise the Swans with brutal footy.

Could you run someone like Marchbank or Kemp as a defensive forward hard tagging Blakey?

I think stop Blakey's run and you smash Sydney's ball movement, he's the trigger for a huge percentage of the Swans attacking plays.

Hewett will take Cerra's spot. Marchbank for Cowan. Fantasia for Martin.

Carroll or Williams for Cottrell. One will be sub.
Hewett was already in last game so he's not really a sub, he is just part of the rotation.

Fantasia isn't anywhere near as capable overhead as Martin, and Martin crashes contests with gusto. Marchbank or Kemp could easily take a wing, but so could Fantasia get him into some open space as a receiver, get him involved in the game.

Could be some rain and if there is I suspect a late change.

You have Owies in the side.
You've got Durdin and Fantasia on the bench....one of them has to be sub.
I'd start Williams and Carroll and see which one of them needs a rest (or Pitto) when we sub on one of the smalls.

After last week I'm not surprised Cowan is an out, looked like he needed a rest no matter what fans think.

If they four coming in a fit, and if Pitto is right to go, then the side looks better than I had feared.

Time for Orazio to stand up in Cottrell's absence.

Elijah might get a bit more midfield time in Cerra's absence, I think it will be a closer game than sceptics imagine.
