Is this the greatest depth as a club we have ever had?

      Brennan

      That's 8 or over 1/3 rd of the team. I can't remember a better time at the Swans where we have had so much depth. The only weak point is that 6 out of the 8 are small to mediums with only two talls, Hall and Barlow. And ofcourse our perennial problem no back up ruck man.

      Still though all in all pretty bloody goo i reckon'!
      Agree Swanner. I can't remember another time where we've had 7 or 8 players beyond our best 22 who could quite easily play seniors. None of them are worldbeaters, but it does tell us that even if we have a few injuries, we'll still be competitive against most sides.

      I think a few people missed your point.

          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

                I think you're pretty much right. It's hard to work out a best 22 as there are currently players you'd want to include but can't fit. Height is a bit of an issue though.

                  I got your point Swanner, I was just thinking that last night as I was nodding off listening to Mike Sheahan and Robert Walls on the couch.

                  Great minds think alike, stay out of this Big AL.

                  I would think though that Crouch and Matthews have had their day. By the way where is Crouchy today?

                    Mathews - I love him but he's gone.

                    Barlow - Out of form and dropped and therefore not inour best 22.

                    Brennan - Struggling to make the twos let alone the seniors.

                    Crouch - Who knows but see Mathews above.

                    Davis - Can't get a game for god knows why.

                    Hall - Out suspended. Just as he was finding some form too. But remember how god awful he was last year? A cple of reasonable games this year does not equate to 2005/2006.

                    Kenelly - Well yes, he is a gun and we miss him desperately.

                    Fossie - Is he injured or not???

                    And there's probably more than one person here that needs to take off their rose coloured glasses....

                      RP, I think you will find that barlow in injured, he didn't play in the twos last week.

                          Yeah, but have any of them starred elsewhere?

                            Gone.

                            Agreed, ATM.

                            You may be wrong there - 2's Votes
                            Crouch - Who knows but see Mathews above.
                            Unknown territory.
                            Davis - Can't get a game for god knows why.
                            (( shrugs ))
                            Hall - Out suspended. Just as he was finding some form too. But remember how god awful he was last year? A cple of reasonable games this year does not equate to 2005/2006.
                            He was playing great footy up until he put the gloves on. And should be fitter than ever at the 1/2 way point of the season.

                            Kenelly - Well yes, he is a gun and we miss him desperately.
                            Agreed. Miss he dearly.
                            Fossie - Is he injured or not???
                            Another unknown. However given the young inclusions this year may have struggled to get a game for a while anyway.

                            And there's probably more than one person here that needs to take off their rose coloured glasses....
                            Or the dark sunnies.

                              Take out Ablett, LRT (Or Playfair) from the current team and replace with Hall and Kenelly and what are you left with..... Not a lot.

                              Fossie & Davis.

                              You could argue all day on this board whether or not those two would be in the best 22 we could field.
