Changes v Sydney

Still disappointed by last night but need to dust ourselves off and move on.

Hang on, are we seriously playing Friday night after playing on Sunday night at home in Qld. Fark you very much AFL.

Anyway, changes

In: Langford (fingers crossed), zerk (structure, free up rids/Stewart a bit), guelfi (should never have been dropped),

Out: Cutler, ham, zaka,

Three guys who will give a contest in, 3 who will not out

Hind zerk lav
Hepp Stewart Ridley

Cox parish Durham
Draper Merrett stringer

Smith Langford Perkins
Tippa hooker wright

Redman Shiel guelfi Snelling

Would very seriously consider leaving out tippa for a week and debuting Hird too

Will be interesting to see how we field the backline with buddy out.

Papley and Heeney are the big threats.

Parker and Kennedy are also gonna kill us like usual.

In; Langford (if hes right), Jones (if right), Guelfi
Out: Cutler, Zaka, Hooker

Zerk was excellent in the reserves and has earnt another crack so Id rest Hooker & swing Stewart forward to see how he goes so:

OUT: Hooker, Cutler, Ham
IN: Francis, Langford, Zerk

Team:

Ridley Zerk Francis
Redman Laverde Hind
Heppell Merrett Shiel
Perkins Stringer Snelling
2MP Stewart Smith

Draper Langford Parish

Bench: Durham Tippa Zakka Cox
SUB: Waterman/Clarke

Doubt they’ll rush Jones. And Caldwell, if fit, should come back through the vfl

I don’t think buddy will be suspended, both incidents will be assessed as fines.

Don’t mind the Francis for hooker suggestion for a different look

In. Players that can kick over 35m

Out. Players that can’t kick over 35m

So reports on how Zerk went in the VFL range from excellent to poor.

Standard :sweat_smile:

As with most whipping boys, the observers personal opinions get in the way.

He had an ok game. Nothing flashy (not that he’s supposed to be). One major Zerkism in the first quarter and that was about it for the howlers.

The Swans have one player unavailable due to injury. ONE. And he’s a cooked ruckman (Naismith).

Obviously TBC on Buddy re: potential suspension.

Best player availability in the league.

AFLPA: WE WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE PERMIT A TEAM TO PLAY OFF A 5 DAY BREAK TWICE IN A YEAR

Gil: Essendon

AFLPA: 5 day break it is

Foxfooty.com.au understands the AFL is set to have Carlton and St Kilda shifted from Saturday to Friday night and Essendon v Sydney moved to Saturday.

Both the Swans and Bombers have both already had five-day breaks, forcing the AFL to delay their match by a day.

Can someone please remind me - If Hird is promoted to play in the seniors at some point this year, do we lose the ability to have him on the Category B list next year? I wouldn’t want to lose that - it’s a free spot.

Is this our second one?

Ffs.
