Pre-Match Discussion Pies Vs Swans

[leonmagic]

Josh is in serious doubt - unlikely to play.

Ego will come in for either Josh (most likely) or Johnno.

[Johnson#26]

Yep, Johnno wont play on Saturday Night

No reports int he media on this. Just curious to know where you got this info from. If he doesn't play, bring Egan in. If Josh is out, however, we have to bring Ruz.

Big names return for the Magpies:

Johnno, I posted about Fraser in another thread, with the media article. Nothing about Johnno, cept the above.

Halfway down the page, an Age article.

You know, I actually work with Jude's brother, and he tells me that the Swans players are not even allowed to tell family about how their injuries are going (unless of course it is something long-term). I'm not sure whether this is common practice at other clubs - but it makes sense to keep secrecy! My guess - he will play. *wink*

Seems they've outsmarted themselves then, Woe. He's been ruled out.

Sorry, you misunderstood my *wink* - I was saying he will play, but winking, meaning I'm joking. Maybe I should have said I had my fingers crossed instead..

That Fraser article in the age sounds a bit speculative to me, if MM and Co thought he was less than 50% to play, why name him? The Johnson thing I can understand, they might be hoping to get Egan under the radar of the Swans pre-match planning.... so just to get this clear, people around the boards are saying;

IN: Buckley, Rusling, Egan, Fanning
OUT: Shaw, Morrison, Fraser, Johnson

If thats the case it will be interesting to see how they line up, but like I said, I think that Age article sounded a bit like guesswork...

GO PIES!

[eddiesmith]

but I dont understand why Fanning is in, I really dont rate him.
.

BOG for Williamstown last week. What more does the bloke have to do for you to understand or accept he has earnt a spot?

Hasn't shown much when he has played in the 1's, I think we would be better suited by playing Rusling, his speed could be very important putting defensive pressure on syd's running defenders.

Definately, im sure Rusling would do a superb job in the ruck

Josh is unfit and shit, Cam is a full forward not a ruckman, Fanning is in because he can ruck all day and that is his only position whilst Fraser is in some doubt and unfit even if he does play.

I think Egan or Rusling will come in for Josh if he pulls up short.

But I think Lokan deserves one more shot if Johnno doesn't make it. Lokan has been getting in the best few every week for the last few weeks & as J26 said, he prob won't be there next year, so lets see how desperate he can play & if he can up his value for a trade? He is playing for his future & if he doesn't perform his AFL career most likely will be over, so he at least deserves a shot!!!

What happened to morrison? He has been going well. Will he be back next week. Very important

Are you related?

[Johnson#26]

Injured his back, apparantly.

[rand corp]

Think Chads 'back injury' might have saved him the embarrassmdent of getting dropped actually.

[Northern Pie]

rand are there any players on our current list that you actually like? lol

Cheers

Try saying that with more or less context.
