Where do you play him? Cant defend to save himself. The midfield experiment has already failed once. Maybe fwd?Tough question....trial as a small forward?
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.
Healy would say that (for the record I'm a fan).
Appreciate he might have to play but I wouldn't want him down back and maybe a sub role would suit..mWhere do you play him? Cant defend to save himself. The midfield experiment has already failed once. Maybe fwd?
Gerard Healy is adamant that the smallness of the SCG is both overstated and a relic of the 80's.Healy would say that (for the record I'm a fan).

I wasn't saying that he needs to play down back, just that he might need to play. Running out of soldiers.
Who comes in for Cottrell?
The outs last week were Fantasia, Young, Cuningham and Williams.
Cunners is injured.
Young is a different type.
So pick 1 out of Fantasia and Williams......or someone else from the 2's. Binns?
Fogarty

Not sure I want to see Williams play down back with no suitable opposition....
I think in the last couple of years we have been honest.
