Tough Decisions

There was a couple of times in the third quarter where we had midfielders streaming towards him and he had no idea what to do so just stood there. I was screaming at him to lead but he looked lost.

Jesse White is the new Shane Fell, with a lower rate of goals.

Yep but it didn't work. I suppose its a bit hard to hear me from the back of level 3 at the "G". more frustration really........

Barry was referring to a couple of times when Jesse didn't read the play upfield properly and Birchall (or whoever) dashed in front to grab the quick, wobbly kick. Commentators thought he was asleep and was not ready at all.

Depends how you want to look at it. On the occasion the comentators accused him of being asleep, he was beside his opponent to the right of him (from the midfielders view). Unfortunately the kick went to the left, where his opponent was. Had the kick gone to his right he would of marked it uncontested.

I have never been a Bolton fan and think that Kirk is probably the most overrated Swan of all time BUT they are leaders of the club, both on and off the field. Veterans are just as important in a rebuilding phase as the youngsters being developed. Jude should have been punted 5 years ago - another 6 months is not going to hurt and to be honest, getting rid of either of them now would do more harm than good.

*points to Jude's and Brett's performance today*

He was recruited during our horror run in the early 90s when Col Kinnear was our coach. An old style full forward, could take a mark 10kms off the ground, never really set the world on fire for us, but not many players for us did at the time either. Felly is a great bloke and a good friend of my family, played many years for my team in Tasmania, Glenorchy.

A Swans forward back in the dark days. Would bob up and randomly kick bags of goals, but also disappeared for large periods of the game (and for some games altogether).

White strikes me as similar, in that he can pop up for a few goals, but otherwise is just invisible, at least at this point of his career.

Whatever happened to Fell, anyway? I thought he was quite good in his own way. He only ever played 15 games, and scored two bags of six goals in his first half-dozen games.

Edit - rats, took too long confirming the stats and got beaten to it!

Owns a luxury car yard in Hobart, and played out his career with Glenorchy. Worked for a few years back in Victoria after retirement but settled back in Tassie, having a great life. Was a publican for a few years and ran the Hobart Swans Fans Club. Still a strong Swans fan despite his run with us.
