Haha MM, you really don't like Derickx :P

Lockyer with 31 touches :o

Zac Smith is good, but not 39 hitouts good yet :P

[SydneyRox]

Buddy is free to play which will mean that hopefullt Tippett or Membrey plays in the goal square.

Another option would be Pyke in for Tippett

I would be happy even if we rested Tippett and gave Membrey a game. Always good to give him a break and also doesnt show your full hand to a team that you are guaranteed to meet in finals.

[Capper]

get Pykey back in Horse!

Derickx has conceded far too much to enemy ruckmen

Have to agree.

Membrey in for his debut?

I hope so for Tippett if he doesnt get up for the game

Lockyer with 31 touches :o

In his first three games, he didn't take a mark, he didn't kick any score. And that's when he was playing as a key fwd. Now I guess he's raised his level from "scum of the earth abysmal" to "mediocre" haha

[CrowsFan]

Zak Jones to get a game any time soon?

With Towers out injured i think Zac will be used as a emergency in the coming weeks

[elephants]

Lockyer with 31 touches :o

Yeah solid effort. Still not going home though :P

May or may not be tracking his progress for the home-factor ;)

Yeh on that, whats Lockyer's situation with his current contract?

in negotiations as we speak. All contracts were waiting for the COLA and rule changes to be announced. Havent heard anything since

THE SYDNEY Swans have been forced to put player contract negotiations on hold for the past month as they wait for the AFL to rule on how extensively their controversial cost-of-living allowance will be cut from 2015.

Swans players set to come out of contract at the end of this year include free agents Adam Goodes, Nick Malceski, Ryan O'Keefe and Lewis Roberts-Thomson, along with Mike Pyke, Rhyce Shaw, Craig Bird, Harry Cunningham, Alex Johnson, Jordan Lockyer, Tim Membrey and Xavier Richards.

Despite initial suggestions that the Swans' COLA might be scrapped altogether from 2015, AFL.com.au understands it will be cut back so that only players on the bottom half of the Swans' wages scale will receive an extra allowance for living expenses.

It is believed the AFL will announce its revamped COLA rules and wider equalisation policy ahead of the Australian Hall of Fame function on June 4, the night before outgoing CEO Andrew Demetriou's final day at the League.

Lockyer and Membrey will be interesting

[Mailman the 2nd]

Apparently Tippett is out for 2 weeks, which sucks but maybe Membrey can get a shot against Port

yep 2 weeks

[SydneyRox]

Tippett out Pyke in will probably be the change. Would like to see Membrey get a run though...

Still waiting to see details on Titch ankle injury
