The Team: TBC is in but is TBC - SYDNEY SWANS v ESSENDON SCG , 7:50pm AEST Friday, May 10, 2019

Urghh Myers…

Raz for Bags is a no brainier, happy with Ham being in, and Clarke…well who else? Defender and Hooker fwd was only other option.

Never said he would be any good there, just that he doesn’t hurt us as much when he stuffs up as he always does.

Apart from Myers I’m really happy with those ins.

Ridley out makes sense if Francis goes back and hooker goes forward.

I will be amazed if Langford plays another 3 games for us this season.

Can’t believe I’m actually pretty happy with the changes for this week. Normally I’m on here raging when the team is announced.IM SO CONFUSED!

Also interesting to note that Baguley has travelled.

Myers for Langford was an obvious call, but I’m really worried that the little amount of confidence he had left will be totally smashed.

These changes are sensible. Ridley a little stiff which means Francis may take his spot.

Yep. And it’s deserved IMO. Played well last week I thought.

How many emergencies travelled? I’m assuming at least 2.

Just four specific injuries and a five day break and, boom, straight back into the team.

I’m probably on my own, but I’m pretty happy with Myers coming back in this week. I’m convinced the midfield as a whole plays better when he is there. I just hope Parish’s centre bounce attendance isn’t affected by Myers being back. I’d prefer someone like Zerrett spend more time outside and Parish more time inside.

Emergency to cover Raz if need be.

I reckon Smith more likely

Woosh mentioned a few blitz specials in the team video. Even managed to get in a ‘big body’ myersy.

and Grunt. Is there a stat for that? I want to know exactly how much grunt he adds

Don’t mind that team - for what we had available. Can understand JD being rested off a five day break. Fixture looks good through to after the bye so he shouldn’t need to be managed now til perhaps R16-18.

Called Langfords and Baguleys dropping on the final siren on Sunday (as did many Blitzers - no surprises there). Ridley a little unlukcy I think (maybe its a match up thing, given Franklin is missing - meaning Hurley can wonder a bit more as a ‘sweeper’ with Hooker on Reid.)

Can Clarke ruck on his own all game??? NO. So I hope Belly gets up.

Maybe they actually try Myers at HF? with Stringer out of the goalsquare.

Good time to give Ridley a week off. Small Swans forward line. Pretty confident we’ll win this as long as we make things difficult for Kennedy and Parker. Which we usually do not.

Myers is an underestimated grunter.
