    Awful for the team, obviously- but you also just have to feel gutted for the guy. New team, new chance, starts the season very well and the team is sitting on top of the ladder then he goes down with something like this.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

      Ouch, thats a very unfortunate injury for Seaby. it sounded like something serious.

        It's only 12 weeks and he might be back sooner. Plenty of time before the finals.

        Gives Pyke and Currie a chance to step up.

          Well, at least White can actually have a role to play - though it will be interesting to see if they give him that chance, or bring up Pyke.

            Would rather we brought Currie in over Pyke. Time to give him a run.

            Big test for Mumford now.

              yes re Mumford. Now tell me that Roos and the Swans are thinking the same way as you:

              Pyke stars in ruck as reserves continue winning streak

              Mike Pyke was fantastic in the ruck and was named best player while Rohan was second best after his work in defence and attack. Midfielders McNeil and O?Dwyer were again named in the best, while Bevan, who played forward, and Sam Reid, who was at fullback, were also in good form.

              He will undergo surgery on Tuesday, leaving Swans coach Paul Roos to choose between forward Jesse White and rookie Mike Pyke as candidates to join Shane Mumford in the ruck against Geelong this weekend.

              ?I thought when Jesse went into the ruck [against the Lions], he did really well and Pykie?s been in really good form in the seconds,? he said on Monday.

              ?If it had have happened last week, we would have automatically gone for Pykie but given Jesse played in the ruck on the weekend, he did really well."

              ?But if we do go the way of Pykie, he?s certainly a lot further advanced than he was last year. His ruck work?s been terrific and he?s finding a lot of the footy around the ground as well.?

                Yeah, I really feel sorry for Seaby. We can only hope it mends quicker than anticipated.

                It's times like this I am thankful for our current depth and that we have options to replace him.

                    It's broken my heart.
                    He gave us the 2005 granny .... and now this.

                    Tragic.

                        He's really quite a likeable character and I'm already really used to seeing him run around in the red and white. Such a shame but it's great that he wants to be as involved as he can be.

                              Replacement scenarios:

                              Play Mocca in the ruck - does this give LJ (flying in the ressies) his chance, or do we change structure and go back to a forward line with only two talls?
                              Play Pyke in the ruck - like Mocca, guarantees bash and crash, but hit outs can literally go anywhere. Clueless on where to go in general play, but has showed promise as a backman. Also a good mark.
                              Play Crusher Currie in the ruck (not going to happen based on what Roos has said) - A young ruckman who may be easily bodied out, but who has the instinct to tap to advantage and also knows where to go in general play. Unlike Pyke can also play forward.

                              I'm sorry Roos ruled Crusher out, because I would like to see him get the chance.
