Changes for Round 4

Outs wont be Cotch & Titch. Used by date in major running roles, last seasons end. You just do not sack them as they can still play secondary rolls off the bench. Gotta get Ross Baker Bolton Stack Parker Dow in the front row & step up to take the weight off Cotch & Titch.
In my opinion secondary rolls (sic) are preferred to a cheese sandwich!

If you want to take the weight off Cotch and Titch, stop them eating secondary rolls.
 
Can Prestia complete the whole game?
Well we need improvement in the middle. He provides that even if its managed minutes. Just got to play him for any chance of winning. Rather have soldo gaining from and fitness in the VFL than waiting for Prestia
 
cotch performance last week reeked of soreness & too much game time
v good the week prior.
im thinking alternate weeks for the farewell tour.
call it managed/whatever.

- l dont like myself abusing him.

Gut feel says it’s Riewoldt and Prestia for Grimes and Ross.

Dimma alluded to the 5 talls in his presser. Nank,. Soldo, Jack, Lynch, Balta

I think soldo will be dropped and bring in another runner. Balta can rotate with Nank in the ruck.
 
Geelong did to Coll'wood what happened to us in rounds 1,3.
A final quarter onslaught.
We have to add an extra zone defender.
Greater tackling pressure and increased ball-ups.
More of a classic Swans style at their peak.

Considering the year we are having Cotch is due for a hammy as well. I dont think they would have been planning for him to play as much in the middle as he has with Prestia and Dustin out
 
Normally the club releases early in the week players who are going to debut - its been pretty silent so I think Sonz will be playing VFL this week

aarts sub again?

if the side gets a bit overheated with mental dexterity and we want a stoppage game without any ball coming out of contests,

Jake Aarts is the perfect bloke to inject into the game

Would Dimma be game to drop Titch who is down for some like Stack ?. If I remember correctly Stacky had a good game last round 2021 against hawkers also snagging a couple of large sausages. Another one there who had a good game for a sprog was Will Martyn who is not getting a mention these days.
 
Hardwick is back to 2016 mentally.
Prestia and Riewoldt back in. Maybe Miller
Out Grimes Aarts and Ross

Suspect the goal with Shedda is to get him to 300 games this season as he is likely to retire. Whilst it runs counter to my belief the rebuild should start now, honouring your legends like this is a critical component of club culture.

I doubt the goal in a year where we are talking about winning the flag is to gift a player 16 more games to get them to an individual milestone. if it gets later in the season, maybe but not at rd 4.
i doubt ShEdwards will be dropped at this stage though, because at his best he is a fantastic player, and the MC will be hoping he can get back somewhere near that level.

Was not good last year and is not good so far this year.....No Free Lunch. Find form in the VFL. humility is learned by accepting your fate.
Once he finds form he comes straight back in.
