On the number thing, that has been some sort of jinx, because once RWO comes up with a popular pick to take over the number 14 jumper that player has gone on to have a poor season and never quiet be the same again.

Case in point

2003 Suggestion was Ben Fixter
2004 Suggestion was Adam Schneider
2005 Suggestion was Paul Bevan

You lot have got to stop lobbying for the number 14 jumper to make a return - your jinxing the poor player suggested.

Give it to Aker.

Roos also confirmed Sydney's first selection in the 2004 national draft, 19-year-old Jarred Moore, would make his senior debut this weekend.

Hallelujah!

About time.

"I came away with the fact that whilst we have probably tried to protect him and play him elsewhere, I think he plays his best football as a ruckman," Roos said.

Hallelujah again!

Roos reads RWO.

Hi Roosy! Say hello to Bally, Goodesy, Hally, Stewy and Micky for me.

On the subject of Goodes, IIRC one of the reasons he wasn't played in the ruck during the early rounds of 2004 was that he seemed to run out of gas in the prelim final 2003 due to his heavy workload. Hope we manage a fine balance between playing him, Ball and Jolly. Not that we have much choice this week.

Not having read the article first I thought you were meaning Moore in the Ruck if you just read the posts, and I thought Liz has lost her marbles or Moore has suddenly grown.

Then I read the article and realised it was refering to Goodes.

It's probably just me, but whenever I hear that there's going to be a debutant for the Swans, I imagine the player running out in a frilly white dress.

Sounds like Moore's getting the nod. Good on him. I hope we see more first-gamers this year - Malceski especially.

Moore is getting a game ahead of some of the others because he is solid and should not get pushed aside as easily as many of our smaller players. he may even be able to make a tackle stick.

Congrats to Moorey for making his debut this week.

Malceski must be livid though. He'll get his chance no doubt in this club (or another).
