'For the record'

[Tractor2003]

Swans Players That Must Go:
* Warfe
* McPherson
* Matthews
* Seymour (Brisbane are interested in Seymour)
* Jude Bolton
* Matthew Nicks

Trade Bait
* Micky O
* Andrew Schauble
* Nick Fosdike
* Jared Crouch
* Brett Kirk

[Newbie]

Jared crouch is tradeable. Jared has no offensive skill and thus cannot be a gun midfield. Tagging someone is role he plays well, but when a tagger becomes a top-six player (which the team caption should be), then we have a huge problem in hand.

Uhh... Newbie.... a tagger is essential in any midfield.

[Tractor2003]

Swans should offer a package to the adelaide clubs:

Matthew Nicks, Micky O and Jared Crouch

[Newbie]

Charlie,

Taggers are essential but they are not top-six material. Tagging is a negating role. A top-six player is supposed to be tagged, not the other way around. When a tagger (jared crouch) becomes a captain, he got to be in our top-six. If this happens, the team would be pretty low on talents.

Just feel everyone should put there honest opinions up.

In the firing line

Ablett (needs to show something at AFL level - needs more fitness - still give him a good chance)

Buchanan - No chance is he an AFL player - too lazy

Cresswell - retired

Mcpherson - never much really time to move on

Nicks - as above - not fit enough

Ryan O'Keefe - lack of pace

Schauble - football career looks to be in the back seat

Seymour - very sad here but he is struggling

Sundqvist - would want to show something - probably gone

Warfe - contract may save - looks gone

Just a little bug bear of mine, how can a club be in the position where it has Barry, Bolton, Dempster, O'Keefe, Seymour, Sundqvist - Thewlis - Warfe 8 mid sized defenders on its list, and Naff all young midefielders coming through?

I really would like an answer to that.

At this stage you would expect to see 10 - 12 players go

Wouldn't write Sunny off yet. He did show something in the one quarter of senior footy he has played, and he also showed some class in the VFL GF last year - these are the only two times I've actually watched him play.

He was injured for most of the pre-season and is bound to start this season slowly. I reckon, though, that he's one player they will be looking to get into the senior team as soon as he has gained some fitness.

WOW, you guys are inciteful.

Here are a couple of my Favs.

Ablett (needs to show something at AFL level - needs more fitness - still give him a good chance)

Buchanan - No chance is he an AFL player - too lazy

Ryan O'Keefe - lack of pace

Also, trading Bolton and Magic??

I'm glad some of these guys aren't on the selection committee.

Some hilarious posts amongst that lot.

And that's from the pre-LRT era!

[swaney]

Cmon guys, this was posted back when we were struggling for form in early 2003. The Melbourne comeback game never happened yet. How were we to know what was going to happen?
You Bloody N0oBs...
