                  I think it?s fair to say Jolly was one of the more contentious omission from the squad of 40.

                  After all the cries from RWO to play more youth I think it?s fair question to ask if ROK's best contribution to our next premiership would be a high draft pick.

                    Same goes for Jude Bolton.

                    Just my opinion.

                      If ROK is around come 2013, then I think he's a definite chance of contributing to our next Premiership. In the mean time, he will set a fantastic example on the training track for our young players coming through, and his ability on field will help maintain a winning culture throughout our rebuilding years. We're losing enough experience this year. We need to keep all the rest we can.

                        Depends, do you want to see us contesting for another premiership in 2013/14 or more like 2017/18.

                        I would assume that your would like to see it earlier and if that is the case we are not going to trade any of our top liners unless forced to.

                        ROK may not play in the next premiership team, but players like him, Goodes, J & C Bolton, Shaw, Mattner etc will be crucial in making sure the next generation are protected in their development and we maintain the standards that have been set by the club over the last 10 years.

                        Cut what experienced better players we have now for draft picks (no matter how good they are) and we are looking at 10 years of hell.

                          There were 3 ruck positions selected....which IMO is the correct number. At the halfway mark Jolly was probably No.2 - the second half of the season had him at 4...possibly 3. He wasn't going to be selected for the AA team on half a good season.....whether he had a slight injury or his intensity slipped away - I don't know. What I do know is had he gone down this year we would have been badly exposed. Probably the most important Swan ATM - AA or not.

                              Just because you don't agree with something, hardly constitutes as trolling.

                                This is very true and a problem Melbourne currently have. Tough for guys like Watts to develop when there are hardly any players with leadership & experience. Would hate of the same happened to us.
