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.

Marchy will be fine - provided he keeps out of Boydy’s way!

I doubt whether Boyd will be the sub and that gives us eight defenders in 22.  I can’t really see Williams starting on the wing but one of those eight defenders will have a different role 🤔

Given our injury woes, they’re not bad ins.  I probably would have gone with Binns over Carroll but Bot is probably better able to match the Sydney mids’ physicality.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how we line up for the bounce … and I think we might surprise the Swans with brutal footy.

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.

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.
Marchbank? Run? Youre kidding right?

Probably not.

We need to make Blakey accountable for one of Tom, Charlie and Harry, preferably the latter. If his opponent is getting good delivery and making the most of it, Blakey will be flat out like a lizard drinking.

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.

I thought games in the seniors had to be earned, not gifted.

Binns had 43 possessions in the twos last week, Fantasia was as cold as a glacial lake.

DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Fantasia was one of the AFL listed players who stood up against Casey, and he’s more likely to be able to match it with our Sydney opponents than Binns, at this stage.

Would I prefer someone other than Orazio in the 23? Yes, but realistically, there’s no-one else.

Play Williams on him and run a sweep Gulden under or over 40 possessions

They need to stop Cripps, Walsh, Curnow and McKay.
It will be a very tactical game in terms of both teams trying to subdue the other teams prime movers...

Exactly!

I reckon that Horse will far more concerned about limiting the influence of our guns than Vossy will be about the Courgette, Gulden and the Lizard.
