2015 NAB Cup Round 1: Sydney v Brisbane Coffs Harbour Stadium Friday 6/3/2015

[LF]

Swans first run for the year,likely a chance to get a look at some future prospects and who might be that player taking over Eski's role.
We get another look at the Lions and see if they run with much the same team and structure or if Leppa tries something different

[GoLions]

Archie Smith didn't really look like he belonged against the Saints, so would expect to see Leuey and Martin lining up together. McGuane looked like a spud as usual, so might see Paine getting a crack, or maybe one of Bourke/Hammelmann.

Hopefully Cutler gets a gig. Christensen probably won't be risked, should be ready for the 3rd NAB match though.

[Ringo]

Will interesting to see if we persevere with Paporone in defence or move him forward. Suspect Paine, Martin, Cutler and Zac O'Brien may get games this week. Do not expect to see Christo till next game.

Interested to see who gets first crack at Eskis spot for Swans.

Can't wait to see Heeney play

[Ricochet]

Martin and Leuey in the same team will be interesting to see as well

[Nige]

No Zak Jones, might be interesting to see how the Swans structure up down back and who takes Eski's role.

[Capper]

A couple missing for the swans

Buddy, Tippett, jones, McVeigh, Goodes, Teddles

[sammy123]

Swans won't take this seriously at all

[Ringo]

Brisbane fielding close to top team to continue working combinations due to lack of match practice. really only Christensen missing.

Will be watching how Berger and Martin combine.
Interested to see if Bewick keeps up his preseason form
Interested to see if any improvement in Lions handling and kicking ability after last weeks debacle in this area despite the win.
Will also be watching Jaden McGrath who imo is the only draftee possibly knocking on the door for round 1. Dawson will also be interesting,
Also will be watching our kick ins again as this was a real achilles heel last year.

Do not tell Eddie but the curtain raiser will be Lions Academy v Swans Academy.
