We lost

[Roscoe]

IMHO Richards and Vogels looked more "keener" when they were forward. I think that Richards problem at SNDON is that they tried to make him into a defender - something I don't think he is

a la Saddington

So SuperTed took three strong contested marks in a single game and that's a good thing.

Not something we can get particularly excited about just yet, but upon reflection, it was a performance that it took other key forward prospects, like Scott Stevens, three years to do.

Hang on, encouraging as Richards' performance was, it's not fair to compare it to Stevens' early performances. Richards is a year or so older than Stevens was when he made his debut and has already played 30 odd games at senior level. Case of apples and oranges.

Still Scotty Stevens gives me the shivers * shudder* Poor bloke is wasting away at the Crows ready to be delisted at the end of the year.

Good point.

This is how i would like to see our forward line this year.

FF: Schneider O'Loughlin Davis/Goodes
HF: ROK Hall Superted.

I just love the idea of having ROK and Ted leading on the flanks and delivering into our dangerous forward line.

Davis will be rotating with Goodes on the wing and alternating in the forward line.

Hello,hello,hello Davis and Goodes now on the wing. People on this site seem to has a love affair with "the wing", a position that only exists at the centre bounce.

I reckon more than half the side according to some will be on "the wing". With about 7 Swans players on each wing at any one time, Roosey's RWO game plan is sure to confuse the other 15 sides. It will be called "the wing flood". Wallsey's eyes will be rolling around on On the Couch.

I reckon he'll be a pretty decent player at WAFL level. His problems are he's still skinny plus he's very slow. At AFL level you might be able to compensate for one of these if you have a couple of other compelling attributes, but the combination of the two is a big problem.

I'd like to see an extra marking option to go with O'Loughlin in the F50 at most times. Davis is an excellent mark and is (I think) extremely quick on the lead, but he needs to get the ball delivered in to him well; that is something our midfield seem to struggle with... unless Davis is in the midfield, he could probably hit himself on a lead... If anything I'd like to see Richards or Doyle rotating through the FP with Goodes, if Davis goes there for a rest then I'd rather not see Schneider down there (Davis and O'Loughlin can both crumb perfectly well).

Hey Stellation, your fog index is at bursting point.

By the way we didn't do a bad job last season on delivery from the midfield. As a matter of fact we did so well we WON THE FLAG.
Hasn't anyone told you yet, you poor soul.

I'm fine with O'Loughlin playing pocket, but you know that Roos would name him FF

Micky's lining up on the wing with rest of his mates.

I'm not sure that we won the flag because of the delivery provided to our forwards by our midfield.

You should try popping over to Bombertalk or Bomberland or whatever they call it nowadays. There you will be informed that either Teddy is complete rubbish or that he is decent but had absolutely no chance of fitting into the Bombers star-packed forward line, and has done himself a favour by moving to a club with a far inferior forward set-up.

Liz, if I do that, I might as well read graffiti on toilet walls because it would make just as much sense.

No I wouldn't do that because there wouldn't be any space for all the collingwood supporters present!
