Pick 15.

[The Big Cat]

With Everett in and Williams out we have our list complete (What's the status of Torture?). So we must make room for at least 3 draftees (4?). Knowing the Swans closeness and Bloods brotherhood they may just delist a couple of reserves players and redraft them as they did with Buchy a couple of years ago. Afterall who will they delist permanently? Spriggs, M. Davis, Elvis (Ericksen Sky Crane)?

Here is some useless information on some of the draftee possibles - the AIS academy.

Since Jarred Moore doesn't yet have a twin in the team, maybe Brock O'Brien would be a good addition! The fact that he lists Paul Kelly and Tony Lockett as his football heros is just icing on the cake.

eeek another Houlihan!! Poor buggers name is tainted in the AFL.

Brilliant. Sold! And a great comment as well - "I hope it comes off".

I haven't used the word 'prepuce' for a long time (well, there's not a lot of reason I would in general convo, but you can never tell).

Is there a Jarrod/Jared/Jarrad/Jarryd available?

I think we need more Barrys.

Ah, but later on he mentions he works at the Mandurah dogs - it may well be Plugger the super dishlicker trainer that he admires most.

If we could get that McKenzie we could nickname him Barry.

Then we could use the terms: "Splash the boots" and "Water the horses" and "Point Percy at the Porcelain" etc whenever he got the ball.




Or not.

There's a little ego/intelligence test in there, too. Tim McIntyre, Andrejs Everett and Zac Millar (among others) thought that the question, "What do you regard as the most memorable sporting moment?" was just re-asking the question, "What is your most significant achievement in sport?"

Whereas Bryce Gibbs, Craig Bird and Matthew Leuenberger understood that it was a little broader than that.

Alot of mock drafts have us taking Tom Hislop with pick 15. Dont know too much about him apart from being a tough skilled midfielder...perhaps in the brock mclean mould???

Anyone have anything on this guy.

[hammo]

I have seen Hislop's name pop up quite a bit. He is a midfielder though and I still think we'll go for a tall.

We do need our token Tasmanian, so Reiwoldt would be great!

I know a few the swans have spoken to and they are all KP forwards. I am guessing that is exactly what we will be getting with pick 15.

Colin Garland from Tassie and Jesse White from QLD are two big possibilities also with our later picks, they wont be considered to 2nd and 3rd rounds though.

oh come on please tell us...

KPP that are likely to be available at #15 are Tippett, Riewoldt, Reid, Allen and Austin. Are you refering to any of these players?

McKenzie may still be there, plus one or both of the Brown twins.

true but the initial post refered to key forwards didn't it? McKenzie and N. Brown are defenders and #15 is too early for M. Brown I would have thought.

I doubt you can definitely say any tall teenager is one or the other. Grundy and Vogels both played as defenders and forwards before they joined the Swans. LRT has played at both ends. Leapin' Leo we know switched halfway through his career.

From what I've read, McKenzie has played junior football at both ends.

ROK was picked up as a back pocket...
