I will not believe Scooter and Reg have been dropped until I see the team run out Saturday. Usual Roos smoke and mirrors stuff.

    How long has it been since we have run out as a named side? Malceski and Barry were 'back' for several weeks before they made a return.
    You're both right, but what is the point in going through this crap every week?

      Idea is to create a mismatch with the emergencies. When North and Sydney submit their paper-work, I am pretty sure they don't know who was selected for each team.

      Roos seems to like mind games, which is not a bad thing.

        Hes pretty goood at it too, given that he never looks flustered, I'd hate to play poker against him. I would lose it all.

          So the battle between footy clubs and fan forums moves into cyber warfare; 18:00 4/9/8, Swans selectors attempt to DOS RWO.
          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

            There's no evidence to suggest that it's a good thing either. We haven't exactly been on fire since he started these 'mind games'.

                Fracking heck!! Like everyone else I am almost beside myself that they have dropped Vespa. Perhaps he suffers by looking a bit like Davo? But seriously, what more could he have done last weekend to hold his spot? It,s no wonder only 16,000 tickets had been sold up til last night.

                  What other coach in the competition would drop a young exciting player who gave his team mates spark and zest, is the future of the club and not least of all coming off 4 outstanding goals.

                  By an criteria, Veszpremi deserved his place in the side, certainly more so than Ablett. The benefits to his development from playing a final would have been significant. I really hope Roos is foxing, but I have a sinking feeling he is not.

                  I also reckon Grundy is stiff and Crouch is lucky.
                  He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                    Footy is for the fans (i.e. us). If the purpose of not listing the best team is to confuse the opposition - it"s hardly worth the frustration it causes the supporters.

                    Looking at the other teams we desperately need more pace, ethusiasm and kicking ability which is why Vez is so appealing.

                      he is also one of the few who features on the ads for channel 10 .....

                      why drop someone causing such a sensation - and can actually play football too!!!

                        Anybody who has followed the Swans for any length of time will have seen this coming. Things don't change overnight. I was as hopeful as anyone but the status quo has prevailed, knowing of course there is still a pretty reasonable chance things could change on the night.

                        I do wonder, with Roos talking himself up for at least next year, possibly further now, in the media this week, how this will look if we fall flat on our face a la last year on Sat. night.

                          ahhhhhhh bugger!!

                          I can only assume that Vesz pulled up @@@@house after last weeks effort (well that what I am going to tell myself).

                          Foxing I hope but don't think so.

                            I'm absolutely @@@@ing ropeable. I hope Roos is pulling a fast one, but I doubt it.

                            I seriously want to do something stupid right now, as in, sideswipe Roosy's car into Sydney Harbour and sell his kids to Mexican kidnappers. The match commitee will cop the wrath of thousands of Swans fans if we get done in the final by a few goals and are beaten due to our lack of run.
