Looks like the dockers are going to shock the swans tonight.

The swans face the longest home trip in footy and will be a tired and sorry lot.

Do we have any chance?
 
i still think the swans are over rated...but they will probably come out and smash us....
its how the story normally goes....for the RFC....
 
Last year we kicked one goal - in the first half!!!!!! >:(

Has our team improved?????????

My 5yr old godson - who I take every year (last 3?) - is yet to sing the club song >:(

If they play like tonight - we may have a chance.

If they play like lasy year - then the insipid fools don't stand a chance :'(

Yes.

Cousins, Cotchin and Simmonds will all be in the mix as in's.

Cousins,will he be match fit to come straight in ? Cotchin,needs more time, Simmonds , i thought the 2 tonight were more than handy,no need to promote him.We struggled with him in,then to drop someone for him to come back when we win would be silly
 
Cousins will come straight in, We'll need Simmonds against Jolly.
We struggled in the hitouts tonight 22-44, Jolly might get 100 hitouts next week.

Cotchin at least another week with Coburg.


Thought all 22 players contributed well, Who we gonna drop?
Simmonds for Patto............Don't think that's fair though.
Cousins for Richo if injured,
I hope Polo, JON or Collins are not omitted. >:(

Reasonable chance but Swans home form has been very good
 
The Swans power of recovery is going to be put to the test. Very tough conditions in Perth last night. Would not like to have played there last night, then have to make the trek back to Sydney to take on a resurrgent Richmond.
 
If no injuries then no change to the side.
The boys worked their arses off to earn the win, they've earned the right to back up for another game.
Cuz n Cotch not really match fit just yet and Simmo is not the future.

Maybe Simmo for Richo Jukes? I wouldn't be happy if Polo, JON and Collins are dropped. They have done nothing wrong and all did their bit last night.
 
either:

No Change (Cuz to play at Coburg and not take the flight to Sydney)

or/

Out: Richo (if injured)
In: Schulz (to be played at FF. here's your chance with no Richo as our go to man)

I totally agree with both options here.

Preferably "no change' so the group can get some confidence by staying together.

We've got a good problem emerging in that there will be a selection committee headache this week. I suspect they'll do as you say and play cousins at coburg, however anyone that's not a tall will be put on notice that if cousins plays well enough, he will be back in the team the following week and they could be dropped.

I do think however that Simmonds will come in for Patto. At this stage a fit and in form Simmonds is a much better option than Patto, however both Simmo and Gus will need to be aware that Patto is breathing down their necks.

If Richo is injured however, I think we could see Patto stay in the team and Simmonds come in for Richo. From what I read Schulz has not put in full 4 quarter efforts at the VFL, so that could hold him back from being selected. I guess it will also depend on match ups.
