Mitch McGovern played 22 games last season.
McGovern was tunnelled twice in his return game, landing heavily on his lower back / gluteus on one occasion and getting a mild corky in the other. If he was a Handbagger I wonder what Scott would have to say?

I'd like to remind fans that our return to form late last season basically aligned with the return of Martin, was that cause or coincidence?

Fogarty came in the following week against the Suns. His last game was Fremantle this season.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Yep, the turnaround came when we went smaller and with more run.
Martin, Cuningham and Fogarty (and even Fisher) become staples of the side and we couldn't lose.

Take a few of them out of the side and all of a sudden we can't win.

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.

This is wrong.

Pitto stays in (for now), Cowan is out.

Cowan has been quiet over the past two weeks and Williams is seen as a rebounding defender who can deliver the ball. I think Kemp will play forward. If Pittonett doesn't play I think Young will, but I think Pittonett will play. I think Fantasia will be the Sub.

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.

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

Carroll or Williams for Cottrell. One will be sub.

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.

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.

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.

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.
