Swans vs Bombers Team Selections
Well finally Roos bit the bullet and made mass changes to the team. In comes the returning Saddo and Mathews and (best of all) first gamers Moore and Vogels (who was promoted to the senior list in place of Doyle). No happy that McVeigh was again dropped, but at least mass changes were made and 3 of the worst performing players from last week (Nicks, Schneider and Buchanan) got dropped. Sends a message to the list that no matter who you are, your not safe if you play poorly.

Yay for Moore and Vogels. Vogels is easily the most impressive of our rookies. Although Grundy has the bigger wraps (expected top 10 pick at one stage I think), the years Vogels spent playing senior football will help him. He is big, strong, a good mark and very mobile. Hope he does well on Saturday.
I think the structure and composition of the team will allow Kennelly to move permanently to the wing. I'll be watching with interest for this to occur.
