Red Rooster in?

[dawson]

I haven't been this excited to see how a new player goes since the day that Greg Williams and Gerard Healy both debuted.
Diesel's first game for the Swans was a lazy 37 touches, 2 goals and 3 Brownlow votes.

Were they before or after Plugger!

[dawson]

They were before! Way before. That was Round 1, 1986.
Both were well gone by the time Plugger arrived. The only person left from that era was Mark Bayes.

Wow, I'm excited too dawson - maybe not that much but I think this bloke is "special"

Hopefully being at Geelong he might feel more comfortable but regardless IMHO he is the most exciting recruit we've had for a long time.

BTW, the last bloke we had from Cobden was pretty good - John Rantall.

It's a ridiculous world when a kid is sanctioned for getting excited and announcing he's playing AFL footy on Facebook, c'mon it's exciting, he wanted to share it... I am sure he can tell the difference between that and normal selection decision

Hopefully the weather stays dry for him. I am finding people calling him Rooster, very amusing

Sorry Reggi, Roos doesn't seem too upset by it all. Seems the "sanction" is tongue in cheek.

What Roos might say to Red is try not to post team selections in the future just in case we need to keep the opposition guessing.

Roos is yet to have a word with Rohan, but despite usually having a shroud of secrecy around team selections, he wasn't too concerned Rohan's inclusion came out early

I agree (Heck, I'd take out an ad in the Herald Sun for my first game haha), but he isn't getting sactioned, he is just getting the message that the Club will control communications. I am told that the plan was to keep the final side a mystery as long as possible.

Gee fancy a red head being impulsive!!!!!!!!!!

Normal procedure. Also its up to the Big Boys of a Club (i.e., officials) to name the team, not the first gamer. Great to see such excitement. I am pleased as punch to see The Red Rohan in the mix. Now just remember when you take off, bounce the bloody thing!

Not quite as normal on this occasion I was told he wasn't even going to be named in the 22, but be a "late change" lol Hence the amusement of the Swans when it was out and about on forums that he was debuting and makes sense of the the lack of word from the club about a pick 6 playing his first game all week.

Mind you in FB world, I think it's hard to keep anything quiet. Lewis Jetta's brother had a status update about Lewis playing against St. Kilda just before the club confirmed etc.

Did anyone see Fox League teams last week? (and was replayed on last night's show too), his running speed in the Ressies was amazing, I am going to get a little to excited if he runs like that at Skilled. CAN NOT WAIT!

[rojo]

All this excitement is getting too much for me! Not having Foxtel I have had to make do with listening to games by radio and last week's game was not even broadcast on ABC so had to sit by the computer and listen via SEN. The thought of having to do the same this weekend is too much so I'm actually getting someone to tape the game so I can see the Red Rohan run out for myself.
