Jed is a typical Yarram kid with a huge tank and and an amazing level of pure skill. Every time i've seen him play he has cut us to pieces with his pace and endurance. He has an even temperament and always fought out games to the end even when Yarram suffered heavy losses. I am really rapt he made it to us, he has all the qualities to be a terrific "Swan". Welcome Jed.

    Oh and Yarram wear red and white too......
    Does that mean he learnt his kicking skills from Andrew Dunkley?

        Parker is the perfect replacement for Jude.He is as tough as nails and has more strings to his bow.He is not short as people are suggesting,over the old six foot mark!! We've done really well with him and Lamb.(You beauty!) Don't be surprised if these two go straight into the ones.(I've seen Parker play heaps,not Lamb(a couple of games) unfortunately but I feel sure I will.)

          As good as these kids are there will have to be a couple of very big names miss selection for them to fit in Round 1. That Round 1 selection meeting will be very interesting I think.

                        I'll be really p***ed off if Barlow finally makes it at the Dogs. He seemed to have everything going for him but just couldn't find the footy for us.

                          Barlow is one side of that conundrum: Do you take an athlete and turn him into a footballer or take a footballer and turn him into an athlete. Moore/Vespremi are his counterparts as they are footballers who need to be more of athletes to gain a spot. I favour choosing the latter as you never know about the ticker of an athlete when the game gets really tough and the ball is hard to win.

                            Well, that was a bit of a surprise.....it would annoy me if he does well, but then again he is always a preseason specialist. Perhaps Rocket having had previous experience with Dale will be able to handle a seriously laid back character.

                                I think you might find that Big Bad Barry may be on the payroll at the Doggies as both a player and a recruiting officer.
                                Is that covered in the Salary Cap?
