I note the 2007 profiles are up on AFL.com.
Players
According to me, Legs Akimbo, here are the players with a big question mark after their name.
Jude Bolton - not getting any younger and whilst gets the ball often enough, tends to throw it on the boot and hence not hurt the opposition with his possessions. In part compensated by the fact that he gets a lot of contested footy, and once allegedly got into Delta Goodrem. IMO, natural replacement is Jarred Moore, although he'll never pull the same quality of chicks. Poor form and I seriously reckon Jude could be struggling to hold a place by year's end.
Paul Bevan - I think the lad can play, but the reality is, if he has another crap year, probably will not be playing at the swans in 2008. He seems to struggle most when he tries hardest because he forgets to dispose of the pill and instead reverts to NSW rugby instinct to tackle whilst in possession.
Ben Matthews - No point covering old ground with this bloke. Just adds so little to the team, but apparently gives good...er....leadership.
Ted Richards - I have a bad feeling this guy is going to go backwards this year. Essentially either he or Luke Vogels will be on the list next year, but not both.
Stephen Doyle - Never more than one injury away from delisting but somehow manages to keep hanging around. A decent run of ten consecutive games should give the coaching committee enough pause for thought to keep him on the list for another 5 years come what may (short of a bad case of necrosis).
Jared Crouch - Is he football's equivalent of Dorian Gray? Has someone taken to his portrait with a knife? Has father time caught up with footy's marathon man. Is this metaphorical cliched nonsense?
Leo Barry - Last hooray for Leapin Leo I'd say. Remember the start of last season with he couldn't so much as walk on the ground without giving away a free (Essendon Rd 1, Lloyd). Vlad's new rules on touching in the back spell big trouble for our undersized fullback.
Nick Davis - Another brain implosion and it's adios naughty Nicky. I'd say the odds are 50:50 at this stage.
