[eliminator]

Glad to see Webberley and Astbury as possibles. Backline looks very short need Astbury in. Would rather Astbury than Hislop

Grigg is 190cm, so the backline's not actually that short. Having said that, I'd rather have Astbury in than McGuane(which probably comes as no surprise to anyone) and Webberley in for Farmer who should have been dropped after his last 2 weeks. From the possible interchanges I'd definitely leave out Tuck and Miller, and I'm not sure about the third (preferably one or both of the two mentioned who unfortunately are in the starting lineup

Good call on Hilop and well done to him, he has been called up because of the "Hardwick way" he plays his footy. I would love to see him play a bit of insperational footy against the Swans!!!

[TigerTimeII]

SYDNEYS back six and defence is very strong
we need to somehow open them up and give jack space and as many one on ones as possible

[WilliamPowell]

Good to see them giving BrownE another go - they gave Gus what 7 weeks. lead they can offer BrownE the same

Can't see Miller, Batchelor being ommitted.

I reckon Tucky will be lucky to play, ditto Astbury

I suppose we will have a fair idea on Saturday arvo seeing that's when Coburg plays

Good to see them giving BrownE another go - they gave Gus what 7 weeks

More like 2 years

IMO you don't need three tall forwards at the SCG as CHF gets bypassed most of the time. Jack and Vickery is enough and both more mobile and agile than a Miller. I'd rather Astbury ahead of Miller as Dave can play at either end as needed.

I don't see Jacko, Tucky and Hislop in the same side either with their imprecise footskills.

Farmer is very lucky. I know teamsheets these days means nothing but not sure why Mitch is named in a FP either.

Edwards in for Helbig.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I would love to see Webberley have a game.

[WilliamPowell]

I don't think Farmer is safe either

Just because he's been named in the 18 doesn't mean they can't drop him

3 have to go whether they are flicked from the extended bench or the 18 it doesn't really matter 

[Willy]

im hoping for:

Out: Miller, Tuck, Farmer

In: Astbury, Hislop, Edwards

cmon man hes not a backman and he wont spend much time there. plus why give him a running defenders role when his foot skils are just average at best. hes not accountable and you can add newman houli and deledio into that boat.
i really have to wonder what the hell is going on down there.

look up forward just jack and vickery after that its the land of the midget minus polish.yep 4 smalls and not one who you can call classy.  what the stuff is going on.

[crackertiger]

Honestly if Farmer does play and he has another terrible game it will be a shocking disgrace! He had shocking poor form at Coburg before he was named for Richmond, and he's had two absolutely terrible games for Richmond. He is no star that is returning from injury as he's been an ordinary performer at best. This situation has the ability to bring unrest to the whole playing group.

Why do we need another forward line midget? If we play him as a small defender the Swans small forwards will have a field day!

Proven stars aside, nobody should be granted games with a record like his.
