      I wouldn't read too much into it. We have a very young list as it is so do we really need to add more kids? With the NSW picks and Irish we've added 3 kids today.

      The glaring hole for me is a project tall defender but I suppose young Reid fits that mould.

          Panos to the Dogs with 48. I had the same thought as you hammo, must have interviewed poorly.

          Polak re-drafted by the Tigers, good news.

          McKaigue confirmed to Swans.

          Pick 71 (Sydney Swans): Nathan Gordon (East Coast Eagles)

          Pick 75 (Sydney Swans): Dylan McNeil (Murray Bushrangers)
          And the man who started it all, the Schneiderman . . . . .

            I would have rather us take a punt on a tall young defender like Joe Dare or even Mitch Thorpe from Hawthorn instead of Playfair! I guess i can only hope now that he can stay injury free, have a blinder and make me eat my words!

            Well we've at least got another one now in the Irishman!!!

            Passed on our last pick! That sucks.

                So it's:

                Pick 10 (Sydney Swans): Henry Playfair (Sydney Swans)
                Pick 63 (Sydney Swans): Chris McKaigue (County Derry, Ireland)
                Pick 71 (Sydney Swans): Nathan Gordon (East Coast Eagles)
                Pick 75 (Sydney Swans): Dylan McNeil (Murray Bushrangers)

                  No Crighton for us

                  Thorp, Temel, Hartigan, Luff some of the bigger names to miss out, as well as our own Laidlaw, Ablett and O'Keefe

                      i am very disapponted,4 passes. I beleive that we supports need some explanations as to why. I agree with the previous post Joseph Dare was available before our first pass/ We need defenders tall ones at that. Atarting to be disapponted after a good trade, national draft and pre season.

                          So LRT, Ted, Grundy, Mattner and Pyke aren't enough?

                            sure we didn't get Panos and a few others but we got our main man in BRADSHAW! that's all i really care about now.

                            Onwards to 2010!

                              Maybe there wasn't anyone else considered good enough?

                              Each of these rookies costs, what, 40-50k? Footy clubs aren't in the habit of shelling out money just because they have spots. If the recruiting staff don't think there's anyone who fits into the plans of the club, there's no point picking them.

                              177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                                Since when is Pyke a defender? Mattner is a running back, not a key defender, and Grundy is not somebody I'd have a lot of faith in one-on-one.
