    Year of the tank?

    The 2006 draft is meant to be a ripper. Have the Swans decided that 2005 has secured their immediate future and that it is time to build a talented list?

    Australia takes delivery of the Abrams tanks later this year, so it is the year of the new tank.

        The top five are exceptional talents.

          A lot of little brothers due to go in this draft. We could get a Riewoldt of our very own...

            The Riewoldt is a cousin, not a brother.

            Far far too early to be looking to draft picks but there certainly sound like some tasty KPP tidbits on offer this year.

            Sellar, Gumbleton, Riewoldt, Thorpe, Hansen...

            Never seen any of them play, other than brief snippets in last year's U18 but they sound good!

              Is this Frank's boy? Frank Gumbleton was an excellent, no-nonsense defender for North in the 1970s.

                No idea, they're just names to me. But I believe he's a Western Australian.

                  Don't think Gumbleton's any relation but Mitchell Thorp a top prospect from Tassie is related to Nick Davis and Brent Crosswell (who is Craig Davis's cousin). Sellar and Gibbs are supposed to be very good and another top prospect is Selwood.

                    I didn't realise that. Explains a lot!

                      Yes they're first cousins and both came over and played with Carlton in the early 70's. And Nick's mother's brother also played with the Blues at the time but left very early in his career and went back to Bendigo. So there is certainly some pedigree there.

                        Lockie Hansen would be a great pick up for us!

                          His name is Jack, seen him play a few times, not much of a footballer, its more the name than anything else.
