R24 sub: Caleb Marchbank

Very suprised Marchbank is there, has been off the pace and I worry now about how tall we have gone. Surely Motlop the sub. Hollands and Dow very stiff.
What happened to my old profile?????

Swans just named the tallest forward line I have ever seen.

Some lads were always going to be unlucky with a healthy list.

Hope Motlop is the sub.

Looking good.

Can't understand why we would go with Marchbank, lost a lot of run out of the side.

I've always been a wrap for Marchbank. But i reckon he is pretty lucky to getting a gig this week as it hurts our team balance, as does 2 rucks.

That being said. If we believe Marchbank is good enough to be picked in our finals side, why haven't we signed him up for next year yet?

Marchbank is our 7th defender.

Pittonet should not play IMO. In poor conditions 2 ruckman + McKay too top heavy.
Let TDK ruck for 20 mins a quarter and H  can relieve him. The ball is going to be mostly on the ground. Pitonet will be a liability.

Despite my hopes to the contrary, we saw against GWS that Harry can’t ruck.

The Swans have named one genuine ruckman, one very capable ruck/forward, and two competent part-timers.  We’d be crazy to go in with just one ruck.

We have to go with 7 defenders.  Doc will play in the midfield and Marchy will be needed against the Swans’ very tall forward line.  They’ve effectively gone with one ruck and three ruck/forwards.

Well I never would have picked Marchbank in a million years, too slow and will cost us I reckon. We'll see in a little over 24hrs.

2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

It will be either a master stroke or a disaster stroke.

Not too slow for the Swans’ ruck/forwards.

They’ll stretch us, regardless of the weather, but we’ll have an advantage when the ball hits the ground.

Blues by 5 goals.

Coll vs Melbourne showing you need quick contested players not an overly tall lineup that flounder in the wet. Playing too many talls isn't the smart way to go imo.

Docherty can play as a defender......because he is.
....and here is an idea...we could've picked another midfielder.....because we have plenty available who are not in the side.
