As long as we stick Monty/Schneider/McVeigh at his feet for the dish off handpass."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017 -
I love that as a concept, would make CG be more accountable, instead of just roaming their backline at will. LRT to sit in the goalsquare to drag him back there, then go back to defence if Grant goes forward.Originally posted by liz

Did I just suggest LRT as a tagger?
Now I'm even surprising myself.......
very weird.....I hear not what you say, for the thunder of who you are.Comment

Till coming on here after the GF...I did not have a negative opinion of Benny...perceived him as average solid player who had been rarely out of the team for several years.
You guys made me look closer & he does make some mistakes...& has no real strong point...but IMO not nearly as bad as the hack he is made out to be. What are his average stats?
Having got that off my chest...no one deserves to be dropped, & if we remain strong I now see him as a good reserve for the inevitable injuries that will come.Comment

I've avoided wading in here as it's a pointless thread. Ben is one of the six in the Swans' leadership group. Barring woeful form he will go into the team when he is available so someone will go out.Comment

but it doesn't stop us voicing our wishes that others, mainly Eski, McVeigh and Dempster, who have proved more than capable, aren't dropped for Mathews."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Meanwhile, Swans midfielder Ben Mathews will be given another week to recover from a hamstring injury, meaning the Swans are likely to go into Saturday night's match against the Western Bulldogs unchanged.Comment

I know someone has mentioned it before, but is Mathews the Schauble of 2006? The only exception being no one is RWO, in general, don't want him back."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Sorry, I don't understand the comparison. Mathews is injured at the moment and that's why he's not in the team.Originally posted by RogueSwan

and that's what we were told about Schaubs as well, I know he did play in the seconds but IIRC he was also listed as injured for a lot of last season and eventually slipped away.Originally posted by ugg

One massive difference, former B&F vs long standing but unspectacular bit player.Originally posted by RogueSwan

Not exactly true, Schauble played many weeks in the reserves.Originally posted by RogueSwan

Pretty offensive to label Benny a bit player. Takes a good player every week, leadership group, great experience. There is no way he will be traded. The players you want to be put into the side have to earn their place over seasons as Ben, Fossie, and all the others you want to put out of the side had to do.Comment

I second every word!Some people say Football is a matter of life and death - I say it's a lot more important than that!

List regeneration is a necessary evil. You only have to look at Brisbane, Port, Essendon etc to see the pitfalls of loyalty to senior players.
However, I think he will play out his career with Sydney.
It's unlikely a trade can be arranged given most clubs have decided to go the youth policy and midfielders like Benny are everywhere.
If a Brownlow medallist such as Woewoedin can't get picked up then I doubt Benny will."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I'll have some of my own opinions soon...
