BUDDY IS OUT!

[The Big Richo]

Home.

[Judge Roughneck]

Rance will have pulled his pants down, anyway

Hopefully Chaplin doesn't play on Tippett, now

Would prefer Tippett out, but I'll take it!!

Now don't let someone like goodes or Reid pop up and kick 4.

[Phil Mrakov]

[The Big Richo]

Apart from when he was the difference last time obviously.

the umpires were the difference. Rancer toweled up Buddy and he got 2 goals from bs frees

This is our chance. They need Tippett to help in the ruck. He's not 100% either. I hope we send the message out to really ride him into the ground.

Franklin has managed ongoing knee soreness throughout the season and, with the Swans assured of a top-two spot, the decision was made to rest the key forward, who has been replaced by Zak Jones.
 
"With the guys having a six-day break after the match against the Bulldogs on the hard Etihad Stadium deck, they didn't want to take any risks," a Swans spokesman told AFL.com.au.

If only the swans could've replaced him with the Tyboner

We can't think Buddy being out will do the job for us. We still need to come out strong from the start, as while the Swans stars could be thinking about next week, the Swannie fringe players will be vying for a spot in their finals best-22.
