    Yes ... my bestie who comes to every game with me is an ex-poos & wees cheersquad member. He's been calling them the poos & wees for as long as I've known him (which is a very, very long time).

      you know its a surprise that there arent more millionaire swans supporters..... after 6 years you would think we would have learnt to BET on the pre-season!
      If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?

        Too bad, if any senior players get injured though.
        Your wish is Roos' command!!

        The squad for Saturday:

        SYDNEY SWANS
        1 - Barry Hall
        2 - Nick Davis
        3 - Jarrad McVeigh
        4 - Ben Matthews
        5 - Ryan O'Keefe
        6 - Craig Bolton
        7 - Luke Brennan
        11 - Ed Barlow
        14 - Craig Bird
        15 - Kieren Jack
        16 - Darren Jolly
        17 - Tadhg Kennelly
        18 - Jesse White
        19 - Michael O'Loughlin
        20 - Luke Ablett
        21 - Leo Barry
        24 - Jude Bolton
        25 - Ted Richards
        29 - Martin Mattner
        30 - Lewis Roberts-Thomson
        31 - Brett Kirk
        32 - Amon Buchanan
        33 - Jarred Moore
        37 - Adam Goodes
        39 - Heath Grundy
        42 - Paul Bevan

        I think it is reasonable to assume that the starting team against St Kilda will all come from this lot.

        I look at this list and only see 15 or so absolute "lockins" Even if I am optimistic including Mathews and Bevan outside that group, there is still plenty of room for a fringe player who puts in a blinder to make a late claim.

        The Lions have also named a strong team, so I'm looking forward to a good game.

              Only played 25?

              Gee, the AFL better put an investigation into the matter, we could have tanked the game.

                O'Dwyer is unlucky as he hasn't put a foot wrong in the pre season.He must still be on the rookie list cause his form would warrant selection.

                      Team To Play

                      Has anyone got info on any late changes to the team playing Brisbane tomorrow?
                      Where are team lists posted by the AFL?

                        very carefully hidden somewhere on this.site.is.crap.afl.com.au

                        Good luck finding it.

                            lobster boy was out for 17 after, suprise the suprise, going the tonk.
                            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                              Didn't Brabazon play last week...I know he played for Queenbeyan, but I thought that was in addition. Anyway playing for Q was a pretty fair show that he wasn't going to play for the firsts. I'm a bit surprised as I thought he close top selection.

                              So, youngsters left with a chance of playing

                              Barlow
                              Bird
                              Jack
                              White
                              Moore
                              Grundy

                              Roos did state (when talking about Everitt) that everyone playing round one must play today, so two of those youngsters (at least) must play.
                              "I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005
