Spida

Curious to know what you guys think of Spida's 2007..
Worthwhile acquisition?

Outstanding tapwork ruckman and made Jolly lift his game by 100% too thanks to some competition. I would like to see Spider played out of the goal square a little more often to try and stretch the defence.

Exactly. Chambers did nothing for us last year and Doyle will forever be on our injury list and Spida has done a great job in the ruck.

[dimelb]

Absolutely!
I'm surprised the question was raised. He must be in the running for B&F.

[swans song]

He has been outstanding on and off the field. He apparently is one of the most liked players at the Club
Having his experience around the club is a bonus for everyone!

2 decent ruckman on the field for 20 games so far, i can honestly say for the first time since 93 i have enjoyed watching spida play for the simple reason he is playing for us and not killing us with his ruckwork and his play around the ground, just wish we could see him as a marking target more often upfront. great pickup for us on all fronts, and unlike the donk he makes it on the field. doyle would have to go down as a similar story to heath james had the talent but injuries curtailed his career, maybe he will still make it but it wont be at the swans.

Definitely.

[mackemdezzy]

great signing ather all

[general mac]

Spida is one of the few reasons that we are still in the hunt for a top four position, almost ...

[ScottH]

Not outstanding, but extremely useful.

[swantastic]

IMO has been ok,but should have been better.

[Frog]

Never doubted him (and his impact) for a second - And I haven't changed my mind ... (His signing) Should have happened before last year

Hmm. makes you wonder about the 2006 GF outcome, don't it.

No I have no doubts about it.

With Spida in the side we would have been back to back premiers, and possibly given the club the option to leave Jolly out, knowing his mind would not have been on the job.
