Injuries & Suspensions

[THCLT]

I'm just happy to have a potential playing R3, nothing else changes for me.

Naismith out for the year with an ACL!

Shocking news for him and the Swans but come on down Darcy Cameron.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-07/huge-blow-for-swans-with-ruckman-naismith-to-miss-2018

didn't they ruck with Sinclair & Towers in JLT 1 ? talk was Aliir was going to spend time in the ruck as well (although he hurt his ankle too)

Sinclair $ 436,900.00 4 scores over 90 from 17 games , although from memory he kicked a bag one day , is he capable of being R1 ? always though he was more forward/ruck.

Towers $ 356,700.00 forward.

Cameron $ 123,900.00 ruck

Aliir $ 218,100.00

first Tip rat , now Naismith interesting times for Horse.

 

[Herbie66]

can Reid also provide a cop out ?

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Huge news indeed.

Sad for Naismith, but surely Cameron gets games now or there is no point having him on their list at all.

Definitely looks a lock for our R3 spot.

 

[Pearcey47]

Sinclair played 2 games in 2017 with no Tippett/Naismith and scored 67 and a whopping 142! Sam Reid provided relief when required.

Thinking about it more I think a playing R3 helps all ruck scenarios.

Covers Lycett if needed
Covers Ryder’s early bye
Potentially Covers weeks where Smith or a Preuss are named
Covers NN even
Covers anyone you pick that has a STI

I think it’s good for all options

Sinclair played 2 games in 2017 with no Tippett/Naismith and scored 67 and a whopping 142! Sam Reid provided relief when required.

Too pricey at 437k though. You would want him to be a keeper at that price which is highly unlikely to happen.

If he was priced similarly to Lycett then I would probably go with him.

 

[Herbie66]

we might get English , Pittonet and Cameron all in Round 1.

All rookie ruck line hahaha.

Amazing how just one injury opens up so many possibilities.

I am sure Cameron was F/R last year and also only $ 117,300.00.

Doesn't play a senior game and he rises in price and loses his DPP.

Cameron R3 with English F6 it could be.

all well and good if Cameron actually plays.

Sinclair rucks

Aliir , Reid , Towers could all be potential back ups or just do what the Doggies do and let a mid contest.

 

[IDIG]

For some reason I recall Cameron being a certainty to get games last year as well

I guess the responsible thing to do is start him at r3. Now the find 21k to do so..

Don't discount Flynn from GWS who would make a perfect set with English...

I agree

I don’t think that’s certain at all but hypothetically speaking it would be good

Played all 3 JLT games last year which got our hopes up...then was not in consideration for Rd1 due to a so-called 'injury at training'.

 

[Herbie66]

Don't discount Flynn from GWS who would make a perfect set with English...

You would hope he would be a better option than Keeffe if Lobb is not right.

Surely they would not risk Patton too much in the ruck.

Lobb just does not strike me as the body type for a R1, although from reading Simpson is as mobile as the Titanic , they sure will miss crash and bash Mummy.

So many options , we need the R4 position back.

PS if Nic Nat and Vardy are not right , and Lycett can't stand up (or goes drinking again) Mr Olango might be in line for a gig as well.

 

[THCLT]

How would the Swans love to turn back time and kept Nanverkis last year!

Nah...McGovern will fill that void like a duck to water!

 

[BigRuss]

Broke his hand in a practice match if I remember right. If he were to ever cement a spot Now's his chance.

 

[Herbie66]

Nah...McGovern will fill that void like a duck to water!

he has openly said he wants to ruck , he may well get his chance , need to contact LITS and GFB do get the latest on the WCE ruck situation.

McInnes also a chance.

 

[Hasnoshoes]

So if we all have Cameron at R3 does anyone know who the best FD becomes?

Jackson Ross (Haw) $117,300 M/F and Jack Petruccelle (WC) $117,300 M/F jump out without much research.
