we have no rucks simmonds, graham and browne not up to it imho. vickery needs time, in november we should pick up a 25yo bash and crash type ruck out of a state league with our last pick and then another 1 in the psd.

Should of picked up Mumford, pointless talking about it now though

And trade another early draft pick?  No thanks.  No way I would I be happy if Richmond bettered the Swans pick 28 to get him given we needed all the picks we had to get some quality early (i.e. Griffiths and Astbury).

after watching coburg on sat.
couldnt possibly play Browne, Graham, Rance.

Let's stick with Simmonds then, because he's in such scintillating form, and is obviously the future of our club.

Mate, if you think Simmonds is bad, you should look at the other 2.
It took Graham 3 games to get a possesion :banghead :banghead :banghead.
And I cannot understand why Graham spent 70% of each quarter on the ground and Browne 30% at Coburg on sat :banghead
Need to keep both on the ground for a long as possible, both struggle with endurance
At least Graham & Browne have a chance of improving, Simmo is getting worse
Given Simmo's output in the last 2 games I'd rather Graham playing anyway, they offer about the same

Graham cant play anywhere

I like Newman in the centre, it has to happen, not sure about Roberts back, is all forgiven?

i hope Newman does play in the midfield but i think Hardwick would see this as a "Quick Fix" which he do not like.

just like playing Simmonds at full forward is a "Quick Fix"!

Roberts was suspended for 1 week, so i am assuming all is "OK" with him, hoping Roberts appreciates the opportunity he has.

agree about newman, best for the moment but not long term solution, but simmons at full forward is more about Jack than simmons or even the overall result, he is thrown to the wolves all alone down there

Any reason for Nason and Edwards being highlighted?

I'm not seeing why people want Thomson out of the team for Tuck.  Tuck still isn't doing the team-oriented stuff.  That's why he's playing at half-back at Coburg.  He needs to be more accountable. 

Thomson is doing the right things at the moment.  He has 83% disposal efficiency, had 4 clearances, and only 1 clanger against the Dogs.  Dimma should persist with him for a bit longer.

Why should Roberts come straight back in?Did he do enough round one?......I thoughout his performance against Carlton was serviceable at best
