He continued through the game, still getting many possessions. He is also on a 9 day break since they played on Thursday, so he still has a good chance on returning

Oliver is having surgery tomorrow for a fractured thumb :
“Clayton had scans on Friday after receiving a kick to the hand against Geelong on Thursday night,” Melbourne’s general manager of AFL football performance Alan Richardson told Melbourne Media.
“Unfortunately, scan results have shown a fracture in Clayton’s thumb, which will require surgery and most likely rule him out of selection for round 18.
“The good news is that if he does miss the game with Port, we expect he will be back and ready to go for round 19.
You are right Jamhed .Maybe thumbs down were people disappointed he is going to miss . He achieved legendary status with his captains score last week .

The way this game is going, Swans are to win by 100+ points unless the same as what happened last week against the bombers occurs, where they only turned up the 1st term
Well something is up with the Dogs midfield. Bont with 6, Dunkley with 7, English with 7. They all usually get 20+ with ease.
The 1st quarter they were down about 20 contested possessions though which had a big impact on them
Outside of playing on from kick-ins (10 times), Bailey Dale had just 6 disposals tonight. This is due to Ryan Clarke as a late in.
Swans plays St Kilda Rd 23 and he has held back Sinclair before, so it may happen again. It may also occur on someone like Dawson since they play the Crows in 2 weeks
Currently have Paddy McCartin at F7.
With his score of 106 surely I have to bench one of my other forwards – but who?
The candidates are Coniglio, Himmelberg, Cameron, Goldstein, Brodie or Rozee.
What do people think ?
Cameron plays Goldy this week, which may affect their scores. Butters also returns this week, so it may hold Rozee back a little.
My choice would probably be Rozee as he has only broke 106 3 times being a 116,113 and 153 against the Eagles
So tempted to v libba….tight ground….lots of contests.
Like your thought wighty. Wish I had him
Well you picked the highest scoring Dog – nice work!!
Haha….glad I didn’t v him.
The final teams for #AFLSwansDogs are in and Braeden Campbell has been replaced by Ryan Clarke.
Medical subs:
@sydneyswans
– Harry Cunningham
@westernbulldogs
– Robbie McComb
Thumbs up English and Dunkley
Thumbs Down ROB and Libba
Comment one forward and one ruck up to 1,224,000.
Must win game to make top 4. Opponent has English and Dunkley. I already have Bont Brodie Coniglio Witts
Oliver going to miss next week
He continued through the game, still getting many possessions. He is also on a 9 day break since they played on Thursday, so he still has a good chance on returning
What’s up ? Hand ??

Thank you Lisa for the update.
I’m happy to accept apologies from the 5 thumbs down above . 🙂
I was actually looking at at your comment thinking “why do 5 people not like this… is it because it’s in the wrong thread?”
I was rather confused
To be honest, they all could be thumbs down because he IS missing one week, not because of my comment lol.
Next time I will put a bit more context with the comment (source, etc) when getting some news onto a thread haha

I feel this is turning into a Friday Night mystery that needs to be solved. We need polls referring to polls to decipher polls
Yep thanks PBuzz… And don’t worry a few thumbs down won’t stop me lol
Copped a kicking in danger from Selwood. Was in a heap of pain and struggled to handpass in the last quarter.
Bailey Dale could potentially be tagged by Clarke as Sinclair was a couple weeks ago
Hickey out:
TU – VC English tonight
TD – stick to plan with VC on Miller
Hickey may be out, but Ladhams has come back from a suspension if you are aware. So the Swans will still have a main ruck
TU: Take Olivers VC score of 124
TD: Go for broke with Neale, Laird, Miller……
Mills has not attended the first 2 centre bounces. He has been on the wing looking to help the defence
The way this game is going, Swans are to win by 100+ points unless the same as what happened last week against the bombers occurs, where they only turned up the 1st term
Saw the comments from last week’s Essendon Swans chat about Mills scoring and it is amazing.
3 touches for 34 points so far…..
Apparently laid 7 tackles already!!!!!
7 tackles in 1 quarter, with still 4 minutes to play
Champion Data with 7 tackles already for Mills they reckon what a joke
This is looking ugly for the dogs.
Imagine if Swans kicked straight that quarter.
That was a mauling.
I’m thankful that they have been inaccurate as Dale is getting a lot of the ball because of that
Simple thumbs up or down Friday night question.
Do you think the Buddy trade has worked for Sydney, considering all aspects of the deal?
Thanks for those playing at home.
“And da winna is… Sid-o-knee”
Dunkley with only 2 disposals and is sitting on 2 SC points at 1/4 time…..
Ladhams has been subbed out, which should have English dominate the ruck in the 2nd half
The Bont does not look right to me.
Only 6 disposals in a half – something is up.
Well something is up with the Dogs midfield. Bont with 6, Dunkley with 7, English with 7. They all usually get 20+ with ease.
The 1st quarter they were down about 20 contested possessions though which had a big impact on them
Sydney lose to the Bombers last week to then absolutely smash the Dogs…
That is unbelievable!

I feel as if I have nailed a C loop equivalent by having the e on P mccartin with worner onfield and D’Ambrosio not needed.
