    What about swapping Jude and ROK?
    Bigger tank, better skills for a follower, and Jude played a bit up forward this year.

      yes sure..it all depends on match ups. Lots of changes will be made depending on size, weight ,height ,pace of opposition. I know ROK likes the centre more but he and the team played well with him having a license to roam.That's game plan! So i don't necessarily think in "fixed positions" because game,plans,match ups and cat and mouse stuff changes a lot.
      Weather too! If it was wet Kennedy might nudge out Hannebury...It's all about depth and flexibility which the Swans have in abundance now.I am really positive about them!

        Jude can't mark overhead, is too slow to crumb and gets the yips.

          There are a number of things B1 can't do, but I do think he has a strong overheard grab.

            OK Mr Grumpy!!
            Jude's done OK when he has been in the fwd line.

              Should be "used to get the yips". I don't know what's happened (coaching??) but he was surprisingly, reliably, accurate this season.

                Was gunna say...he's very strong overhead for his size, and fearless in marking contests too (which goes without saying).

                    Roos always plays the players we pick up in the trade period.
                    Plus I reckon that there is 12 certanties.
                    Shaw, McVeigh, O'keefe, C Bolton, Jack, White, J Bolton, Mattner
                    LRT, Kirk, Goodes & Grundy throw in a possible Bradshaw and that only leaves 5 spots for the likes of Hannebery, Meredeth, Malceski, Currie, Barlow, Veszpremi, Bird, Ablett, Richards, Playfair, Thornton, Moore, Smith, Bevan, O'Dwyer. I can see a few unhappy young players.

                      Daring to dream !! with Bradshaw now all but signed and Tag looking closer....it is time to expect MORE

                      We have fantastic depth........and if the guys who played a handful of games each just keeping rising then we are looking great !

                      Although I think we will see a lot of Goodes in the HF line I feel it is best to start him on the ball.......ie White will push up next to Bradshaw for close to half the game when Goodes pushes into HF...........but lets keep Goodes free to start and let the Coaches of the opposition worry about us.......and how to shape up on our forwards

                      F: Moore, Bradshaw, Hannebery

                      HF: Ryan, White, Jude

                      HB: TAG, Bolton, Shaw

                      B: Mattner, RLT, Grundy

                      Bench: Seaby, Barlow, Malceski, Bird (Ablett)

                        PS I think it is a difficult to match up on our forward line in 2010......the teams with strong tall backs will struggle to keep up with our smaller forwards.......our youth coming thru fighting for spots each week

                          Bradshaw..White....Goodes..3 Good players in the forward line.


                          OMG..I am daring to dream again..this isn't what being a Swans fan is supposed to be like...I found I was very comfortable when we didn't make the finals...it was like putting on an old comfy jumper. OMG

                            I will have another go now, in a different format.
                            or as Leigh Matthews lays it out: All Australian selection is outdated
                            In general terms a more realistic selection break up is six forwards, seven defenders and nine midfielders including a ruck man and a second back up follower.
                            6 forwards: Bradshaw, White, Vespa, Jack, Goodes, Moore

                            7 defenders: B2, LRT, Shaw, Smith, Grundy, Mattner, Malceski or MOD

                            9 midfielders: Seaby, Mumford, Kirk, B1, McVeigh, Bird, Pebbles, Kennedy, Hannerbery/Meredith but Ablett will get a spot.

                                I dunno, it is really hard to fit in everyone you want. I suppose it will depend on the opposition and form as to who gets the last couple of spots
