    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

      ....getting back to the nicknames, After having read a few articles now on Rohan, I think its going to have to be either Rooster or red Rooster....although I still like my 'riders of' nickname.

      Now on the issue of roos giving them all a reality check about not playing in 2010, this is the only gripe I have with Roosy.

      Sure I can understand why he does and in most cases I agree, they probably aren't ready to play AFL level, they are just boys playing against men. But there is the exception to the rule....Daniel Rich is just one that comes to mind. After seeing footage of Sumner, I think he is ready to slot in to AFL level, I think he is a bit older too(could be wrong here). Loved the way he played, god he reminded me of Andrew Mcleod.

          ...the graceful stylings of Ted, the raw power of McVeigh, the passion of Reg, the interesting tats of Jesse - there's something for everyone!

            And as a flanker he'd be behind a huge list of players. If he plays we're probably stuffed injury-wise.
            Reid is also very young, he's the either the youngest or second youngest player taken in the draft, he's still just 17 so as a KPP, he won't be seen in senior ranks in 2010.

            Very impressed with the muscle Johnson put on this year. He's a definite chance to play alot of seniors in 2010 as the third tall I'd reckon.

            Have we forgotten sticky fingers Currie if he gets himself right?

            Wretchmond are taking a young player in the PSD so Bradshaw will be a Swan.

            Getting excited about 2010, what price are we to make the eight with the bookies? I might get on before the world wakes up to us.

              Reid is already buuilt pretty strongly. Will be a massive unit after a couple of pre-seasons.

                Poor old Jetta looks like he is going to punch out a fart with those legs wide apart !!

                listen out for the sound of the F111 roar past you at the SCG in 2010 !

                  For those interested there's a couple of extended interviews with Rohan, Jetta and the Roos press conference at the ABC.

                      I would think they would be a better bet for wooden spoon than the Roos.
