Nope, killed the NAB cup.

Think he's just being eased into the season. Interesting decision from Longmire.

After that performance and AJ injured, will Laidler last till the byes?

only caught glimpses of the game (house-hunting :( ;)) but it does seem Swans took the 'younger siblings' lightly - not that I actually want to take away from the GWS performance I have to say ...

I saw top4 predictions before the season started, but I have to say with the injuries and indifferent collective lead-up form I was thinking top6 more likely - having said that, last time I thought that was in 2012 ... ;)

yeah, not naming ROK and then giving him the vest while others got a full game? Would Jack have played in a final? Even heard a rumour that Tippett is a rnd2 chance, so would he have played had it been must win?
But GWS just spanked us when it counted. Mummy was at his best, with a point to prove, plus the 'attitude' shown by the GWS youngsters, they were well and truly up for this.

hmmm, the word i have heard is that Tippett wont play in Adelaide in R3. LRT was the back up ruck to Pyke and he was subbed out last quarter.

Mind you all credit goes to GWS, that forward line killed us. Cameron, Patton, Resting ruck, Whitfield is going to cause every back line issues this year if they all stay fit. 3 talls and Whitters....... winning!!

SydneyRox · March 18, 2014, 11:28:21 PM

you forgot there is some other bloke called boyd to squeeze in there as well...

Article from today on AJ had this at the bottom. Probably the last thing I wrote was maybe a little more bullish. Round3 will be good.

Kurt Tippett should also resume team training next week but is unlikely to be ready for the Swans round two clash with Collingwood.

Kurt has been progressing and is running a lot faster now and hes due to start skills next week

That probably means that he is going to be in trouble for the game against Collingwood, but we will get him going next week and will have a better idea of when he is ready to play

Capper · March 19, 2014, 05:13:56 PM

when he what?

Mailman the 2nd · March 19, 2014, 05:19:44 PM

Does a fitness test? Probably.

I think that a 2nd ruck option for Pyke is pretty important against Collingwood as Grundy/Witts is strong but Sandilands more or less destroyed them so we need to aim for better delivery in the centre

SydneyRox · March 19, 2014, 06:49:08 PM

damn cut and paste.... fixed now.

Agree that Pyke will need backup. With LRT in doubt, need to give one of the young boys a shot. Derickx looks like being first in line.

Yeah, missed out on Boyd as well as smith as a small... Hopefully we can have some of our MIDs put their hands up as legitimate forward targets as well :p
