Dawson is playing thankfully... But it's a minor foot issue for those wondering what the concern is...

That's incredible analysis.
The thing that stood out most to me is the explicit coaching strategy for the Sydney backs to prefer to spoil instead of intercept mark.
Scoring rate from turnovers due to spoils is 25% lower than from intercept marks, but they happen nearly twice as often. So the net effect is positive, especially if you're training for it.
I'll watch this more closely next Swans game... the backs using their closing speed to spoil to advantage where their mids can then pick up and go from a better field position.

8/819
Played: Z Butters (VC), D Houston, S Walsh, N Daicos, M Bontempelli, C Daniel (new recruit), R Garcia and L Sullivan
Yet to play:
Saturday: J Steele, D Wilson and T Stewart
Sunday: M Gawn (C), C Oliver, N Fyfe, L Jackson, H Young, S Clohesy, W Graham, T Miller, N Moyle and N Martin
21 available so hopefully Garcia and Sullivan drop out along with the waste of a trade in of Daniel. Was a bit of a silly decision but with Moyle on the bubble I started to scare myself with Freijah considering what has happened either going late or on the bubble with the likes of T Berry, H Thomas, J Rogers, etc this season. Felt Daniel could be a F7 type providing coverage in the midfield whilst at a cheap price if he can return to say 85-95 which would be ok in the fwd position. Likely means that Fyfe and Wilson will be traded for say Zorko (RD13-RD14) and Flanders (post bye) to join the acquisition of Fisher this round and the other fwd premiums of Jackson and Heeney.
Starting to get on the wrong side of a few late decisions whether that be captaining Dunkley over Gawn, Butters (VC) instead of Bont, the above trades, etc so hard to build on one of my best starts. Didn’t help either going Stewart over Ryan in RD4.
