That's a fair amount of depth I'd have to say!!

[Nthblood]

Looks like a great exciting team, can't wait for next year and coming years to see this team develop.

[eggbeater]

currie a spot anywhere?

And Campbell Heath, and Lewis Johnston.

All in good time, my friend, all in good time. With this much depth perhaps some of the more fringy players (can you hear me Ed?) will have to lift their game. We should have some delightfully toey fringe players this coming year.

Yes, not a bad side....would look a million times better with fev in the forward line there....geez im spewin we didnt get him, I rekon he would of been great for us.

There is still a chance of this happening.

[swansrob]

Have to disagree.
I don't see Seaby, Mumford, McGlynn or Kennedy getting a run in 2009.

Actually, they will get plenty of running done!!

Need to be realistic on Rucks. Jolly a seasoned player really tired toward the end of the year.

I think only Seaby will have the conditioning to play most of the season, possibly Pyke. Sydney will need to protect Mumford and Currie who have only one or so pre-season each.

These guys are our future. Don't want to destroy their careers, by playing them to much before they have the fitness base.

Especially in the case of Currie, who I think may only play 5-6 games at best given his injury run. Jolly and Ball were season longevity freaks, be surprised if we see their likes again

At least this year I think Seaby will be No 1, because of fitness

Hopefully Orreal gets a run pre season

[Cardinal]

Pyke may prove to be a great move - a crash and bash ruck, whose role is to protect the bodies and development of our future younger rucks. He doesn't have to be a superstar, just fulfill his role.

[i'm-uninformed2]

Swap Meredith for Richards in your original team and you've got me.

I actually think he may prove to be the best of all our kids.

[BigD]

Looks like a pretty strong line-up to me.

[johnno]

God I was thinking to myself during trade week how are all these guys going to get a run, and after looking at that team line up, they wont, unbelievable depth. Looks good for when injuries happen. Will, players like Bevan, Meredith, Vespa get a run???

[jenky28]

I think he means they wont get a game cos they were not on the swans list in 2009 in 2010 they are a chance!
