Even before that I was wondering if he'd been carrying an injury both games.
sMurph was playing pretty well before he got smashed last week, but afterwards he couldn't hit a barn with a zepplin!
Interesting all the pre-game chat about Kennedy then we name O'Biren instead, I'd expect Kennedy to come in rather than us bring Garlett back.
Bit surprised Marchbank comes in, is he going to run with Buddy?

Nah at quarter time I said he was rubbish by good players standards.

Interesting comments about Cotchin in Round 1 not being very effective even though not tagged....got the maximum 10 votes in the AFL Coaches Association Award meaning both coaches thought he was BOG.

Yes there seems to be some fan effect, are we biased in some subtle way? ;D

Cotchin had one of those games that wasn't flashy, but is his usual best self. He throws his body in when required, and does the team things really well. Statistically he was in the top handful, but he is a death by a thousand cuts type player so often goes unnoticed.
We were discussing with a Richmond supporter with us, and the concensus was that the 3 should go to Cotchin for Round 1. 2 to either of Cripps or Martin, and the other one will get the 1. Given the Tigers won, Cripps will get 1 vote.

I have a feeling Marchy wont play and SOS will come in.

I agree about Cotchin, he played a Hodge type game, him being the Captain is a bonus, not sure he was BoG though.
Don't agree about Dusty, I thought he as average at best, well below his best. I wouldn't have even had him in their top 5!
I thought Nankervis was BoG, he also had "a presence" and was all over the ground as much if not more than Cotchin. Lambert was pretty good when it mattered, as was Houli and Edwards.
Back onto this weeks game, I'm not sure those changes help us much. None of the three inclusions, Levi, Marchbank and O'Brien, are what you would call physical, and the Swans are mostly gritty physical types.
Maybe we are going to run them off their feet with our silky skills?
Excuse me while I head on the back to slap myself! ;D

If Murphy goes out I'd rather see Kennedy come in. Sydney aren't in the best form but Cripps will be up against some of the best inside players in the game in Kennedy/Parker and will need some help if the first two rounds are anything to go by.

I agree, if nothing else but to help preserve Cripps a little, it's a long season.
I thought Setterfield has been OK so far, I'd like to see a rotation with Setterfield and Kennedy in tandem with sMurph, leaving Cripps with Ed and Samo. I think the inside game of Setterfield and Cripps are too much alike to be in their side-by-side, to me it doesn't feel balanced.
If we want Setterfield to progress we have to be a little precautionary about how heavily he is loaded, as you state Swans will be a huge test. Also look at the Swans Ins, all 90kg types, they are planning to beat up on our kids.

Setterfield was used to sit on Rockliff in the 2nd half of the Port game and I reckon he might get another role like that....Kennedy should be in the team IMO anyway.....
