6 weeks!!! Ouch thats a big loss. Hopefully a youngster steps up nicely

 

[jemsta]

yeah 6 weeks was longer than i thought...i was reading in the paper saying he could be back as early as round 8 (3 weeks)
nick malceski is playing pretty good atm, so all is not lost yet in the swans defence, but kennelly is almost impossible to replace, and he'll be sorely missed

 

[sydneyswansfan]

who thinks ben cousins should be banned for 12 weeks? I do. 3 strike policy isnt it?

 

[jemsta]

he is banned indefinitely isnt he?
meh doesnt really matter....the wce doesnt seem to be missing him anyways

 

[SyCoTiC]

Goodesy is ineligible to win his third Brownlow this year (hehe =P) but he successfully won his appeal so all is good. =)

Kennelly gone for about 6 but I think he might be back earlier than expected.

LRT due back in round 10 I believe.

Ablett is still a possibility of lining up this weekend against the Kangas. Same with Bazza despite the corked thigh.

 

[jemsta]

but is goodes playing this weekend despite winning his appeal?
i thought he had some sort of a shoulder injury

 

[wyho]

kenelly will be out for 6 weeks but the meds predict he will be back within 4-5 due to his excellent history of recoveries from injuries. goodes isnt playing good atm. hope he will improve soon.

 

[sydneyswansfan]

goodes isnt playing good atm. hope he will improve soon.

he cant get much worse before he gets better. Although, his worst is still much better than some at their best...

 

[stazi]

sydneyswansfan - out of interest, what team do you support?

 

[sydneyswansfan]

lol. i dunno. its pretty ambiguous hey? but out of interest, also newcastle in NRL and man u in english league... maybe should have included them in my name too...

 

[jemsta]

hahaha go man utd
theyll beat milan tonight

 

[SyCoTiC]

Goodesy is almost a definite to line up against the Kangas, there's not much doubt for him. It was a slight nerve pinch that got him, nothing too serious. I mean, he had enough strength to give Godfrey a good nudge with that shoulder.

 

[jemsta]

pity hes ineligible to win the brownlow
i would suggesr a peak in his form sometime soon...just you watch

 

[sydneyswansfan]

thats ok that hes ineligable. i mean, hes gotta give the others a fair go at winning one...

 

[jemsta]

hahahaha thats a good point
he can always win it next year

 

[SyCoTiC]

Seeing as he's not going to win it this year.

I'd surely love to see Scott West finally win it. He's probably the only current player most deservedly of the Brownlow yet always falls short.

 

[sydneyswansfan]

scott lucas is giving it a fair go so far.

 

[SyCoTiC]

There's far better going around than Lucas in the forward line.

In terms of forwards, I would say Jonathan Brown, Matthew Lloyd, Quinten Lynch (believe it or not but he'll fade), Matthew Pavlich and maybe Lance Frankline if he fires this season.

 

[sydneyswansfan]

yeah i no but what im saying is that, so far in the few weeks that its been going, hes played an excellent game and would have received a few brownlow votes. i think Lloyd is tons better.

Thats a good thing. now sydney have a better chance of winning the title. Why?
05 Cousins won brownlow(WC) Syd won title
06 Goodes won brownlow (Syd) WC won title
