We resurrected Fantasia's career when all and sundry reckoned he was kaputt.  Time to pay the rent or feck off.  It grinds my gears to watch blokes going at half rat power when there's always kids crying out for opportunity.

Even if you can't get a kick, you can still lay tackles and put on blocks.  Don't just stand there DO SOMETHING

Morrison, the guy who by his own admission never had an original idea but was a fervent backer of anything he felt advantageous…. 🙄

They need to stop Cripps, Walsh, Curnow and McKay.

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.

If we get Fog back, the loss of Cotters won’t be critical.  If Fog’s not right, the next man up would be Binns.  He isn’t far off Cotters in running power but his lack of experience and defensive intensity could be exploited.

Williams does his best work with the ball in hand and has produced moments of brilliance running off halfback.  He is vulnerable when one out and closer to goal, particularly early in games when umpires are more likely to pluck frees.  If our defence is well set up, Williams isn’t as vulnerable and can hurt the opposition with his run and creativity.

I guess that it boils down to whether we value rebounds from defence over stifling the opposition forwards.

Where do you play him? Cant defend to save himself. The midfield experiment has already failed once. Maybe fwd?

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?

Cottrell out.
Cunners injured in the 2's.
Williams might be forced to come in.

Cottrell for the Lizard.....?

Heeney is the matchup that looks almost impossible. Sydney were ruthlessly efficient against the Dockers over here and he was their best again. It's a pretty powerful side when Luke Parker can't get a game.

He reminds me of Skinny Lappin who became a legend for us.
I think he didn't have any touches in his first two games!
If this forum was around then he would've been a lightning rod for negative comments.
Lucky it wasn't.
Ollie just need to do his job and learn his limitations and play to that. Oh and build his core strength.
