Thanks for that

*On a Thursday night for the OP.

There are some funky bars in the CBD now. However i'm not sure how lively they'll be late on a Thursday night.

Oh Kings X is dead now. I used to be a clubber back there in the 90's and 00's

Was wild times.


I still reckon the bars in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Inner west . They are the go on a Thursday.

Got a list of worthwhile places?

Is newtown still kicking on Thursday nights? A few nice bars around. Melb is the best spot for bars/pubs tho.

I worked in Chippendale so the Gladdie, Abercrombie and Lansdowne were always the spot.
Now that Uni is back in full swing . They should be rocking.

Friends love the Bob Hawke.


Personally you can't go wrong with any pub in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst , Newtown etc.

Maybe?Kinda? I've been back to Melbourne a few times since Covid shut downs and its slowly getting its groove back.
However its clear that many joints really suffered.

Marlborough and Newtown Hotel are always lively quite a few stores have shut up shop or have lease signs.

I'd like to see Sheldrick & Stephens come in for this game and play on the inside. Both imperfect candidates but I'm also not sure they'll ever get a better look at inside minutes than in this game.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hmmn.. Decades ago when in Sydney I used to go to a pub nicknamed The Three Weeds. Music, food and chat

Proper name could have been Rose, Shamrock and Thistle

Wonder if it is still about.

Who?

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

I'd like to think if Moose was on this weeks panel he'd see reason

One of the great Swans early cult hero’s, that would have been his go to tackle in the day, strong as an ox!!

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Or we just ruck Hickey/McLean, Francis goes up forward. Or Rampe comes in for say Clarke (just a swap for Parker even), Fox doesn't have to do any KPD work, frees up Florent more to help shuffle the chairs to fill the Parker gap.

Agree with the Rampe for Stretch change.

Stretch has got a taste and Definitely looks a prospect but he needs to build strength and have more game time. Can go back to the 2’s and have 80-90% in the ruck and continue to learn.

Happy for him to come back in for another game or two when/where required, but needs another big preseason or two.

Hickey/McLean ruck duo for mine. McLean is starting to improve in the role and does help him get involved.

Rampe comes in to bolster defence and to play third tall (and resume backline general duties), leaving Melican and Francis as the two KPD’s. Fox should get the next best forward.

Gus/Stephens for Parker and would be good to see one or both given an opportunity in the guts, actually like for like taking Parker’s role.

Clarke’s first and best job last year was on Sinclair. Completely shut him out, he will go to him again and in essence, Clarke will be our most important defender. Sinclair makes saints tick, need to shut him down to get the win.

Gonna be a long weekend!!

Ah yes.
Good memories …

 

[caesar88]

Who?

Sheldrick and Stephens. Try them both.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Sheldrick and Stephens. Try them both.

Melican, Stephens and Cunningham all in the same side - it’d be the ultimate Whipping Boy parade.

lmfao JMac and Callum's faces!

Sheldrick and Stephens. Try them both.

Not convinced by either.

Lack firsts mojo. Deer. Headlights.

They may get there.

Rampe in. Parker out.
Campbell to play higher. More mid minutes.
Heeney to play solidly in the mids.

Sheldrick and Stephens wouldn't be any worse than Rowbottom. Did you watch the Carlton game?

need acid for that vid to make any sense

 

[Dan87]

Rowbottom is fine, his role is not some great tragedy

He's our least skilful mid and does defensive things

He's still young and can demand more

 

[Donza]

You've dived down a rabbit hole mate.

Obsessed with. " The swans midfield is shit".

Making irrational moves.

Rowbottom is a integral part of the group.
His role is not going to be replaced by either Stephens or Gus.

Their time may come. Wishing it so doesn't mean its going to occur.

Believe he's advocating for Rowbottom to be freed up by one of those guys, based on what he's shown in previous years, not turfed out. And not that the midfield players are bad, just being used poorly.

I was actually advocating for Rowbottom to be "turfed out" (that makes it sound so harsh!)

I don't believe anyone whose legs seemingly give out from under him every time he's involved in play should be playing.

As you know I am a big fan of his but his game against the Blues was pretty sad to watch unfold.

In a game where the midfield is already going to be undergoing serious changes, I think it just makes sense to take this opportunity to explore other options.

Give Rowbottom a few weeks off, give a few kids a chance they're unlikely to get again for some time, and then normal programming will resume in the mids in a few weeks.

 

[MR0808]

Every time Rowbottom kicks the footy I wonder what's going to happen

That's how I feel about Cunningham

 

[Kiama Chris]

Ah yes.
Good memories …

Long gone

 

[Punts]

Doubt they would trade a young rowbottonm

He wouldn’t be worth trading as your probably only gonna get a late 2nd
