I think we may be at Act 2 of a five act play - the big finale will be on Friday, as always.

Paul Chambers

Geelong has traded ruckman Paul Chambers to Sydney in exchange for the Swans' second round pick - No.35 overall.

Not as good as Spida, but we have our ruckman.

Welcome aboard Paul.

A couple of years back, I think one of the coaching staff was quoted as saying he was the most talented player on the list. I don't mind his ruckwork, and we all know he can kick a goal or two. He might be used more as a full-forward type option, perhaps?

That was Kelvin Templeton a few years back. He was a big rap for Doyle.

I still think he can be a good player for us IF his body ever gets it together.

I did indeed get the pictures.

Did you hear our tales from the rest of the evening? It was quite enjoyable.

Our First new recruit is Paul Chambers ?

WOW a no name and bomber thompson seems quite happy to get rid of him....i guess thats definetly no evritt then

bit dissapointing was looking forward to getting a big name player, hopefully he follows in same steps as jolly though

I hope they don't mind me faxing pictures of my bum with the club song tattooed on it.

For some reason i still think there is one more twist in store.This trade definately doesn't fill me with back to back confidence. But
i do have heaps of faith for Jolly to really take the number 1 ruck position and make it his own.

Reasonable use of pick 35 I guess.

I hope Doyle stands up now. Although Doyle and Saddington for Everitt might still be on the cards.

Spida could still be an option next year when he is out of contract.

[swan_song]

If it's true that Roosie offered him three years, then I guess two years at the end of 2006 is still on the cards...I just can't get my head around the fact that he's told the poo and wees that he doesnt want to play with them (and letts face it, who would want to), but they won't let him go. Would they REALLY want him, knowing he doesnt want them...very odd situation!

On another tack, I read that Shaun Rehn is a new assistant coach at Brizzie...does anyone know if one of their assistants has left (although he's their new ruck coach, I was hoping a certain assistant coach may be heading back down south...)

Was on the Brissie news the other night that cressa will be there again next year apparently. with Lambert and Rehn

Living up here you bump into so many former swans (well 2, Bayesy and cressa, I think there was another one as well, but his name eludes me), seems they just love it up here.

Geelong will be delighted. If Saddo plays sitting on Doyle's shoulders they may be as good as Everitt.

Love it! I've always thought that about Hawthorn's colours.

It's not a confident sign that the moment we discover that we've picked up Chambers we immediately begin hoping that Doyle becomes injury free. I was surprised when 'cow noted that we must have watched Chambers play several times against the Swans, yet his ruckwork has left an indelable blank on my mind. I find this a very perplexing recruitment.

swan_song was reminding us of Jason's ability to spoon feed our goalsneeks in particular and asking whether Jolly, Doyle etc. could do the same. And frankly I think the answer is no. Jason was a very experienced tap ruckman (hence our wish for Spider to replace him) and I suspect it will be some while before they can match him (even with his assistance).
I have mentioned young Earl Shaw the rookie ruckman from the blue mountains previously. My enthusiasm for him is largely due to his ability to give his midfielders (More/Nicks/McVeigh/Schmidt) the sort of service Jason Ball was providing, and yes I know it's only the ACTFL, but Earl is still a teenager.
