I know this is stupid wishful thinking, but one day I'd love to see:
In: Biggs, Membrey, Mitchell, Nankervis
Out: Ummmmmmmmmm...

Sounds like you might have one of them in tonight

its sounding more like he will make his debut

Who's the tipped out? Reid?

Tippett by the sounds of it

[Mailman the 2nd]

Wins a win, although Buddy would've helped for sure.

Membrey very good in the first half and to be honest I'd rather have seen Towers subbed over him, Towers had a distinct lack of forward pressure.

Otherwise, backline was very strong so kicking Laidler may have been the right move. Once Shaw and Hannebery get back up to speed we'll be set  8)

[SydneyRox]

yeah, towers hasnt done it for me yet, while membrey looked sharp. if he can string some games, will get better too! after waiting so long he would have been a bag of nerves

SYDNEY SWANS
Two big names should be back this week to bolster the Swans in the run to the finals, Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery. Franklin was a late withdrawal for last Friday's win over Essendon with knee soreness, while Hannebery is right on the cusp of his first match since round 13. The midfielder has had a slow, careful recovery from a nasty ankle injury and will give a huge boost to the side if he can regain his place for the trip to face Port Adelaide. Tom Mitchell returned from a minor knee problem in the reserves last weekend and impressed in about 40 minutes of action. If he can enjoy an injury-free run, he is one player who could force his way into the senior side before the finals series commences.

not sure if he did or not. Was looking to see if he pulled up ok

[Mailman the 2nd]

Nothing has been mentioned about shaw since the game so I'd assume he's fine

The video on the Swans site with the physio said that Zak Jones will play this week. Probably ressies, but it'll be interesting to see if he comes back into the seniors at some point this year...

Just read this and it looks like that the Saints have been hit with the Kiwi tax. Wonder if we got hit with it as well last year

It will only be if required as Biggs is also pushing at the moment.

Pretty good 22 playing at the moment when you consider we have Buddy, Titch, Dan Han to come back in to the team
