With all the feel good supporters on here and the bleeding hearts who don't want to "hurt" the feelings of any of the players , I'm getting the feeling that everything is just fine at the Swannies... We mustn't trade jude or Fossie, the only player we should delist is warfe , we should except the team managment cos things really are improving even though we can't see it on the score boards. lets just keep on keeping on , and a premiership is just a year or two around the corner !!
Well I'm sorry kids , I just don't buy it.
This team needs at least 15- 20 percent improvment just to be a real threat this year, factor in the excepted fact that the standard of the leaugue improves evey year, and you could say that the Swans may well be needing an extra 30 + percent improvment within the next 2 year, just to be in contention.
Where's the improvment comming from ?
And don't give me that crap about it all being down to injuries....." if we get all our injured players back we could be ..... anything....." sure and if port Adelaide had their injured players back, then they would aready have won the flag !
The fact is the Swans need at least 1 maybe 2 or even 3 more genuine stars to compete with the likes of Ports list, Brisbanes list, St-kildas list and even Geelongs , in the big one at the MCG. These kinds of stars are not currently on our injury list.
And please spare me the "anything can happen in the finals" line, cos even though I would love it to, and even though it could.... maybe... happen, at this stage, if it deos we would have lucked a premeirship, as oppossed to built a team to go and "smash and grab" one.
I prefer the later, it means you have a shot at doin it a few times in a decade.
Where are the Stars going to come from if we don't cut some trade bait out of the list ? How do we know what the team is capable of if we don't even play the kids who have been performing exceptionally well in the reserves. Who will bear the brunt if Roos is unsuccessful ?
Come on people how about a bit of blood lust ? It's just the same old live in hope culture, don't say anything to upset the players crapedy crap crap !
Well i recon this team needs some upsetting, who knows if somone upsetts the apple cart maybe a few champion apples may be found way down the bottom where no one was lookin !

So you want to trade 2 past top 8 drafted players who are currently in their football prime, plus a draft pick, for another pick so that you have someone to continually bag in four or five years time because they haven't lived up to your expectations?
