With my Lions hat on, Daniels in the midfield really scares me. We have no real matchup for his speed and agility. We've already seen what he can do in the midfield when given real time there, and he could easily do it against the Lions too if Neale isn't getting first hands to the ball...
I think Cogs should be declared not fit (if he isnt), not dropped as such. If he literally can't handle contact he should just have surgery.
But I don't blame him, he is I guess hoping it just comes good somehow.
Swapping Cogs for Bedford makes sense based on the QF performance, but who knows what they will go with.
Idun says he usually gets Rayner, so Pez or HH to Cameron. Pez might not be quick enough.
We 100% need a redemption game from Toby and Daniels.

Early prognosis
The Giants have made TobyBedford (calf) available for Saturday night's semi-final against the Lions, though he'll be a selection decision. Derksen had surgery this week and...
Don’t despair, everyone. We’re still very much alive in the premiership race.
Those first three quarters we put on were amongst the best played by any team this year, where it all came together. We showed we could match it with the minor premiers on their turf, and almost held on when they...
Agree with all bar the Ash bit, his presence takes the heat off Lachie, and it was not a real reflection of his talent. With Isaac back in the side though I guess Ash for Aleer will at least be discussed at match commitee

💔 but it’s done so no point worrying too much about those flogs. Their time will come.
I think today there were a lot of positives and I think we saw some Premiership players.
Young Darcy Jones is a revelation, he is just everything you want in a player and shows such maturity for his years...
Watching Brisbane having a very easy time against Carlton (odd for them to decide to tank in a final...).
Total contrast to Giants v Swans.
Next week is going to be tough, especially through the midfield as the Lions have a lot of run. They will be a lot fresher.
In: Bedford
Out: Coniglio...
No TobyBedford was huge. As good as the swans were in the last, including Heeney going God mode, that was a seriously bad quarter from gws, from the players to the coach

Whilst I hate the timeslot, the only time I have ever watched a game of footy and thought, "**** these visuals are sexy" is during twilight games at the SCG. It's just a total vibe.
Omission of GWS TobyBedford is a bonus for us.
Swans Taylor Adams unlucky, but the right call.
Twilight game scheduling: don't tell me the AFL would mind this spectacle..
There's a lot of focus on TobyBedford not playing, but he's played in all four derbies since joining us, for one narrow win and three solid losses. He wasn't the match-winner or the reason we lost in any of those games.
We need to be different this time. Something has to change, such as James...

Bedford hasn't made it in.
Squad:
In - Brent Daniels, Lachie Ash, Isaac Cumming
Out - Harvey Thomas (Omitted), Callum M. Brown (Omitted), Nick Haynes (Omitted)
Milestones - Lachie Ash (100th game)
Backs - 27 Harry Himmelberg, 15 Sam Taylor, 39...
For them:
Still uncertainty around TobyBedford at GWS for final v Swans.
Trained today but not locked in yet. Adam Kingsley admits it’s not ideal for preparations considering he’s their tagger.
Finn Callaghan hasn’t trained all week, managing a knock. Kingsley says he’ll play.
@DanielGarb
The Swans have such an even spread of contributors in the midfield that I'm not even sure it helps a huge amount if you tag one out.
We might almost be better off just putting Peatling in there instead. Have him play that defensive midfield role that he's been very good at. Laying tackles on...
I think Lachie ash slipped up in his press conference
He said “ we are really healthy, I think it’s only TobyBedford that won’t be available”
So that really sucks
And the swans have so many players we would need him to tag

All very positive points like fast carbs.
Some reservations/cautions to over optimism due to AFL enforced bye intake stifling rational thought and starving of usual weekly AFL diet intake:
1. Papley underdone. The long time out of the side has me thinking his touch, thought processes and team...
