For us old farts, Sumner definitely has to be Julius.

That's a little unfair on Melb. I think that they have been, and continue to be, genuinely crap.

They went from 5th to 14th the year Daniher was sacked after 12 games, and haven't rebounded from that since. Injury took it's toll in 2007 yes, but maybe Daniher could actually coach. Don't forget that 4 years before that table (2000) they lost the Grand Final to Essendon.

Bailey has been "rebuilding" the side in his image for two years with a side that should have been ranged 8-12. Tankers.

Jetta just doesn't run 20 metres in a match. He goes for 40-50 metre runs lightning quick the whole way,then actually goals. This will be a new experience for us Swans supporters, one that I intend to savour !!

Hey, what about that other new wingman/half forward recruit who might be doing the same thing ...... Tadgh Kennelly - let's savour that!!

Almost too true to be funny!

It's great to see that LJ holds Goodesy as his idol. It should really help is adjustment with the team.

Why is it so

I hadn't noticed this - we have two LJs.

Does this mean the cortinas are being upgraded to newer models? Something sportier?

Gemini's.

Lewis Jetta's older brother is moving over with him so that should help with the homesickness.

Check out Jetta's goal at about 5:05 in the vid....Woweee.
Seaby was West Perths ruckman i think and that Idiot Hunter was playing for Swans.

• Rohan - Fanta, with the obligatory "Pants!!" when he's dackin' 'em with consecutive killer crossovers

• Jetta - Benny, Joan

• Reid - Bruce

• Sumner - Professor, and when/if he's earned it, Lord

• Denis-Lane - Myanmar, Lois, The Menace - Lillee-Beachley (sp?) is my fave, a bit of a mouthful at the ground.

The way he ran to about 20 and then used the banana kick reminded me of Goodes.

Rohan nickname for me is chook...............funnily enough I have known a few redheads with the nickname chook aswell

Paul Roos applies the wet blanket treatment...

Gap for recruits 'massive'

SYDNEY coach Paul Roos says the gap between TAC Cup and AFL is massive and No. 6 draft pick Gary Rohan can forget about making his debut for the Swans in 2010.

''I'd be staggered if he played senior footy next year,'' Roos said yesterday after returning to Sydney from Thursday's national draft in Melbourne.

''The youngsters get really shattered by what it takes to be an AFL player. It will happen to Gary Rohan. He has got a lot of work to do. He's very raw. He only averages 12 possessions a game. These guys coming from under-18s are super-talented, but ? the gap is massive.''
