Is Tadhg kennelly coming back to the swans? YES HE IS!

[Lofty]

You might have struggled.

I don't think I would've stuggled bloody hell but thanks for looking out isn't that what blood brothers and sisters do
GO THE SWANNIES in 2010

Fair call. Appologies.

Just the constant banging on about youth is frustrating.

And I find the constanst banging on about the need for "experienced players to help the youngters" just as frustrating.

Experienced players to help the youngsters is only part of it. Kennelly is taking up the spot of the player we might otherwise choose with pick 70 something. Not only is the chance of that player ever playing senior footy, let alone at the level we know Kennelly is capable of, there is a pretty decent chance that that same player will still be available in the rookie draft.

Clearly there has to be a balance between holding onto experienced players, even if they are workmanlike, vs taking long shot punts late in the draft, but the likely pay-off equation of Kennelly vs pick 70-something is extremely highly weighted in the Kennelly direction. Especially since when even close to fully fit, he is far from workmanlike.

Is there anyone in the team you don't want to trade?

As you've asked, I don't believe we should trade or delist the following players:

Bevan, Bird, B1 & B2, Goodes, Grundy, Hannebery, Jack, Johnston, Kirk, Malceski, Mattner, McVeigh, Meredith, Moore, O'Dwyer, O'Keefe, Shaw, Smith, Vespremi, White.

Ablett and Playfair we've delisted, which I agree with.

I'm not sure about Barlow or Roberts-Thomson. Richards I would trade, as I've suggested on a couple of other threads.

Obviously, we keep Kennedy, McGlynn, Mumford and Seaby until we see how they go.

Mike Pyke - I don't know.

I'm sorry we lost Darren Jolly to Collingwood.

... I'm not sure about ... Roberts-Thomson ...

CS! I see it, but I don't believe it!

Great to see Tadgh coming back. With him back I think we now have one of if not the best counter-attacking defence in the AFL.

Just uploaded this. Time to relive it!

A bald patch never deteriorates, it progresses.

Coming back to his girlfriend might make him heir minded, buy he certainly is NOT hair conditioned!

Can I have whatever it is you've put in your tea?

I love that all white and red V jumper.

Simple but stylish.

Wish they would play all their games in Victoria in it.

I was at that game. One thing I remember distinctly is how dead the atmosphere was. Just very ordinary.

Absolutely.

that's one thing about ANZ, unless its a night game the excitement atmosphere is struggling.
