It’s believe a car hit them from behind, but both players escaped the prang without injury.Despite the crash, both players will still travel to Sydney as planned.“The welfare of Beau, Josh and the driver of the other vehicle remains the absolute priority,” he said.
McCreery has been named to play in the 22, while Carmichael is in the 26-man squad and is likely to be the medi-sub again after being the unused sub last week.Police coned off the site of the incident.Swans forward Tom Papley is convinced the Swans can match the intense pressure that has powered Collingwood’s resurgence in Saturday’s preliminary final at the SCG.
While blistering ball movement is now a key feature of the Swans’ style, they have also returned to their roots to top the contested possessions and clearances six times, and the tackle count all but once, in their eight-match winning streak. Papley is likely to feel the heat from the opening bounce as he now regularly starts matches in the centre square before pushing forward.
