Final Changes for Weekend
To counter the Bulldogs pace in their forward line the Swans have dropped Schauble and LRT so that we don't get caught out by it. Seem a stupid call, but if it works as Roos plans it to (ie. tricks Eade into sending Grant down forward and thus allowing Hall and Magic to roam free up forward) then it could be a master stroke.
In Schauble and LRT's place comes Nicks and Willo. However Willo is to be given until match time to prove his fitness and if he is to pull out and allow the injury another week to heal, then I suspect Roos to bring in Schauble. Might be a wise move.
Will be an interesting match with Roos wanting to pull one over his old boss, while the nature of the Swans play (ie - the flooding) effect on the so far free moving Bulldogs is another factor you can't ignore.
Still at the end of the day if the Swans want to make the finals, this is the kind of match they MUST win otherwise there would be no point to it. Going to be a difficult match but we should be able to contain the Bulldogs to put up win number 5 for the season.
