Probably yes to cottrell given orazio’s 4 as the back up

I could see Cottrell coming in for Ollie. Kid looks like he could do with a refresh

Agree. And no disrespect to Ollie but I think Cotters has him covered

We’ve used 33 players this season, which includes partial games from Binns & Docherty. Nine players have played every game - twelve if you include E.Hollands, Walsh & Weitering who started the season on the sidelines but haven’t missed since.

Sydney (28 ) & GWS (32) are the only teams to have used fewer players at this point.

The continuity at the Swans must be getting close to a modern day record. No fewer than 16 players lining up every week - Adams makes it 17 as the late starter.

The point, if there is one, is that even with a double-digits injury list for most of the season, I can’t see where we’d use more than 34 players (Silvagni the 34th) to this point.

pretty wild how Doc did his knee more than a month after jack, and he's already progressed to the next level of training before jack.
doc is not from this world.

Practice makes perfect I guesss…

Not that there’s anything nefarious going on, but the cancer drugs could be giving him an assist.

that's actually a really good point ... he must surely have an exemption to be taking banned substances if they're of anti-cancer nature huh?

Any word on McGovern?

2 weeks. hip flexor.

The 29th player for Sydney was Callum Mills

Still no Parker. Parker makes 30. Not a bad sub to have on hand.

Amazing to hear it's even a possibility.

The old roll out a good news puff piece to try and take the attention away on how crap we have been

Looks like Gov a chance.

Williams is a strain, and will be assessed. Probably a 3 week given the history this year.

That’s all. **

We don’t have many excuses.



** note the Thursday night out due to an unnamed injury.
