IMO, Teds problem used to be hardness at the footy. His 2nd half of 2006 seemed to overcome that.

There are a lot worse kicks in the swans team than our ted.

B2 was a mediocre player that we have turned around into once of the better defenders in the AFL.[i] C Bolton was already a good player - he has naturally improved over time, but he didn't lack an important skill. [/B]Comment

C Bolton played well from day one with us, showing he had the talent to do well.Originally posted by Go Swannies

We have been able to improve players by increasing their application or giving them a chance or addressing their behaviour, but there are still no examples of players coming from other clubs with major skill deficiencies that we have fixed.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Spriggs sucks! Are you questioning the coaching staff for not putting him in the firsts?Originally posted by ROK Lobster

Don't agree with that. I think he's a better footballer with us than he was at Collingwood.Originally posted by chammond
Of the current bunch, only Nick Davis hasn't improved.

Jolly Richards and Bolton had not enough time on the ground with their previous clubs to know where they really stood in footy terms.
These players played cameo roles for three and four years then come to the Swans play regularly in a good, well drilled side and play in a winning grand final in two cases and one a good role in a close loss GF in the other...go figure!
Brennan has been cut due to injury plain and simple, not disposal.

Welcome back Clifford, it is good to have some serious input from someone with such vast footy knowledge and experienceOriginally posted by chammond
Phooey!
Hall, Richards and Jolly are all better players now than when they left their previous clubs.
Of the current bunch, only Nick Davis hasn't improved.
The Brennan issue will probably remain moot anyway. He'll only get a game if -
he recovers from his long-term injuries, and
he gets fit, and
he performs well in the reserves, and
a senior player gets a long-term injury, and
we need a back-up medium sized utility as a priority.
Chances are he'll be another Chris Obst.Comment

Agreed. He was all potential at the Pies. At least with us he's produced it in a couple of games (eg 2005 Geelong final)Originally posted by Plugger46

There you have it..... The West Coast Eagles secret training drill...Originally posted by ROK Lobster
Of course if he had have been picked up by the Eagles today he would have caused the accident, been drug and/or alcohol affected, ran from the scene, urinated on a lamp post and assualted his girlfriend.Comment

More than his bit..... He was probably out only player that played the entire game and could walk off the field with his head held high.....Originally posted by satchmopugdog

Worse than LRT???Originally posted by The Big Cat
Could be a winner. But was ranked by Champion Data as having the worst disposal of any player in the AFL (who had played more than a few games) in 2005. But our coaches can change anything, I hope!
