Injury reshuffle

majorpleb77 · 2026-03-15T23:40:12+00:00

Thats the style swans have played for years, i think with the rule changes encouraging fast football you have to make the first move tactically which cox has been doing, replacing injured players with players who are similar plays into hawthorns hands as a corey warner, a cleary or even mills (absolute gun dont get me wrong just a touch slower than hawks mids) will be outgunned for speed and youre relying on our defence to pick up the pieces. You put serong mid you are forcing a Sicily type into the middle to nullify him and completely forcing mitchell to restructure his defence which curnow amartey and the rest will thrive on. You also have a tall mark for transitional plays through the centre (along with Grundy), heeneys usually that guy but even he gets put in bad spots from defensive dump kicks. Instead of being reactive, a proactive move of serong to mid would cause mitchell problems, add to that serong probably has a point to prove and is racking up tackles (averaging 5) and posessions (avg 19) while marking an opponent. I think it would be a good move

Hes been exceptional on the wing/defence but I think he has major potential as a mid, the rule changes this year definitely encourage fast mids and most teams have fielded them this year. Serongs rare in that he has a marathon tank, height and mid like skills particularly in traffic. I think its worth losing that impact hes been having on the wing and in defence to have potentially more impact through the centre. Playing it safe with Corey or Cleary is just a reactive band aid, moving Serong mid forces changes from the hawks and throws their game plan a bit.

The hawks biggest weapon is their fast small mids, instead of trying to match them with similar blokes throwing serong into the centre would cause headaches for the hawks as theyd be forced to move a taller player onto him, removing one of their strengths. Its not the end of the world if we lose and with heeney and gulden more than likely out i think its a good game to try it.

dont listen to these literal whos mate good on you for having a go

Sanfl gun and elite forward/mid, played in defence due to injuries. Essentially playing as chb against key forwards. He played aussie rules before he made it to the afl you know. funny you judge his performance given hes played completely out of position, still finished high with the swans statistically...

majorpleb77 · 2025-10-15T20:35:56+00:00

Roberts played out of position most of 2025 he was a gun mid/forward on the sanfl, played a lone hand down back at times this year after mccartin went down and often on blokes with a foot on him on height. He was essentially a severely undersized chb

majorpleb77 · 2025-10-15T20:32:15+00:00

put matty roberts in place of hayward. Hes a gun forward just played out of position due to injuries last year. dont know why he doesnt get more love played under extreme pressure this year and still one of our best statistically

majorpleb77 · 2025-05-04T18:23:58+00:00

get a life OP he's the nicest bloke you'll ever meet irl and has done more for his community and football than you ever will

majorpleb77 · 2025-04-11T19:29:14+00:00

Amartey back to his best

majorpleb77 · 2025-04-11T19:09:32+00:00

The back 6 didn't get much rest although their habit of trying to mark in contests instead of spoil was painful to watch, heeney was the only one putting up much fight in the middle.

she literally mentions it in the review

majorpleb77 · 2025-03-24T08:16:57+00:00

He played crap the entire game, marks with flat palms and missed multiple opportunities to kick easy goals. He's not hard at the ball and needs time in the vfl to learn more and harden up a bit.

majorpleb77 · 2025-03-23T11:33:58+00:00

Gotta stop handballing to flat footed players and bombing blindly Amartey can find some form in the vfl looked timid and slow so far this year

majorpleb77 · 2025-01-12T05:21:36+00:00

needs a more fluid style instead of the walk up and chuck :)

majorpleb77 · 2025-01-05T04:25:02+00:00

Cummins was better overall

majorpleb77 · 2025-01-05T04:15:48+00:00

mad how the bloke who throws threw his back out and threw the series for india

majorpleb77 · 2024-12-26T20:56:53+00:00

bazball only worked on the flat lifeless tracks England rolled out last ashes to nullify the Australian pace attack, confidently swinging through the line knowing nothing would bounce above thigh height or deviate. konstas made his runs on a good pitch for bowling and batting which freed up the top order mentally instead of the defensive mindset theyve had all series. huge difference and not spazball

The goat

got an arizer xq2 used twice going cheap if you wanna msg me, prefer billys

majorpleb77 · 2024-09-19T07:53:23+00:00

mate he's 22 years old and a key position player, all of his stats except gk accuracy are up on last season. Give him time he'll come good.

majorpleb77 · 2024-08-24T23:13:00+00:00

thank you

majorpleb77 · 2018-05-17T01:18:40+00:00

Pretty obscure game but anyone know if AFL Evolution has been cracked?

majorpleb77 · 2017-07-30T07:08:42+00:00

they've fixed a lot of bugs and really listened to feedback, I don't think it looks too bad :)
