Surely Binns deserves a run, given his performances over a run of VFL games.
Other clubs will be having a hard look at him if we continue to ignore.
Ab
Binns? One of the Swans players might mistake him for a slice of orange and eat him. If they are fair dinkum, Binns is 10kg away from playing senior footy.
Last year what impressed me most was the how we managed to "find a way" every week. To say we need to "find a way" tomorrow night is an understatement, personally I dont fancy our chances given how well the Swans are travelling.
The 2s are 2nd last the 1s with players dropping like flies are likely to drop out of the 8 this week or the next. I reckon when the 2s dont perform, the 1s dont either and vice versa (sometimes).
Put them all on long term injury lists and replace them with mid season draft picks. At least we will know they are going to be 35-40 players on the list and give VFL abit of depth.

I have been saying this forever and a day - don't need superstars just dependable players that can play a role we already have dependable and reliable superstars. Continuing with these players is untenable.
Martin is far from a superstar but he is one of the more unreliable players on our list. The Captain of the rehab group is Marchbank who is the worst player on our list as far as reliability goes. Our injury list unfortunately is season defining. Marchbank - Captain Martin - Vice Captain Cunningham Deputy Vice Captain

Assuming his numbers are right, he does have a point. He is a Swans great, a member of their Team Of The Century, and a commentator of some repute. You hope he would know.
His credentials are irrelevant, it's his opinion based on fluff and bias, the ground is smaller than any other ground no matter how you wanna mix it.
