Matthews and McVeigh are the same sort of player. When playing at the absolute best of their abilities and in form, they are worth playing. Anything less and they are a liability and shouldnt be in the senior team until they are back in form.... and shouldnt be selected until they have shown some form.Comment

Get a grip you guys. Pearce was unfit to play. He was a risky selection in the team to start with.
McVeigh beat a player who's not up to it. He got one nice goal, and one very lucky wobbler. He had a total of 9 possessions, none of them hard. His unfit man got more possessions.
If anyone thinks that wipes away 1/3 of a year of ineptitude then they are kidding themselves.
IMO McVeigh played to his usual standard and got lucky that his opponent and the opposition in general didnt turn up to play.Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

McVeigh did what was asked of him, the Swans won and he will be playing for the next couple of weeks at least whether he deserves it or not.
Additionally with Crouch out who would you put on the speedsters of the AFL? Schmidt, Moore? Actually I reckon Bevan should make way for either of those two.
I am glad we had such a strong win and anyone critical of it should just sit back and enjoy what we have been missing all year.

What is McViegh supposed to do? Tell the power to come back next when Pearce is feeling better? It is not our fault the power chose someone not ready to play. the fact mcveigh held one of the great youngsters of the league is all that matters. By your arguement our win in the 2005 prelim. was not great because we beat a team that had more than a few unfit/unconditioned players.

My point was that one win doesnt mean we should suddenly stop trying to improve the team through better selection policies.
Appart from LRT (who some would say is borderline top 22 anyway), we were at absolute full strength yesterday. A full squad to pick from. No other team can claim that.Comment

On our performance, I'll take that effort every day. That said, Port beat us on contested possessions, clearance & inside 50s so there is certainly plenty of room for further improvement.Comment

Unless the dogs are planning on playing an unfit running style player, I think he will get slaughtered next week on the wide expanses of Manuka.
An average player who is down on confidence shouldnt be getting a game with a side trying to win a flag. Send him to the 2nds for a few weeks.
I doubt I am the only one who sees the irony in your suggestion that someone who is down on confidence should be relegated to the 2nd's.Grandson of South Melbourne legend Keith Schaefer.Comment

There's a reason you're sitting on a computer, posting your opinions on an inconsequential internet forum, and NOT in the coaches box next to Roosy. Your opinions are misguided and lack common sense.
I doubt I am the only one who sees the irony in your suggestion that someone who is down on confidence should be relegated to the 2nd's.
I doubt I am the only one who questions the wisdom of using the seniors for a fringe player to gather confidence over an 8 week period which has caused the seniors to be currently out of the top 8.Comment
