      I guess I'm just trying to be ultra positive, we drafted a forward! A tall forward! With our first pick!

          If he's going to play as a marking forward poor handball skills are absolutely not inconsequential for a team that gets most of its run from the backline streaming forward in numbers.

          That said, he's only 17 and it's just a few clips
          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 thikn the comment made DA feel better.
                He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                    My AFL live video stream kept dying on me so I might have missed some picks, but I think there are two decent NSW players who are still available for us in the rookie draft. Kade Klemke (captain of NSW U18 side - following in footsteps of the likes of Bird and Jack) was tipped by many to get drafted but seems to have slipped through, plus Luke Bruest was very eye-catching in 2007 playing for the reserves team. They are both of a size and shape we already have plenty of but could still be good gets next month.

                      His har is very contemporary.

                        Johnstone is apparently a booming kick on both feet. Booming kick + SCG =

                          Brions get the steal of the draft.

                            Yes, that can only be a good thing.

                              Exactly what I was thinking! He can never be really committed to the Swans with that background!
