    The guys isn't even really tall, either- he's really only 5'10". All just a beat up.
    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

        Plays down the wrong line as that one goes straight through to the keeper.

            I'd like to see Dill be given a go this weekend but worried about him getting himself into a pickle.

            Jesse is really just a very short ruckman.

                Nipper to debut!

                Home grown Swan is ready to fly

                EDIT: Reading into it too much to say there aren't any other debutants?

                  Nathan "Nipper" Gordon to replace Jack against Bulldogs.

                  Home grown Swan is ready to fly

                  Congratulations Nipper.

                    Excellent, though I was also hoping for LJ's debut as well it is still exciting. Video here

                        Great to read about a debuting player who is a Swan through and through. Go get em kid!

                          I am so amazingly excited about this, Nipper played his junior footy at the same club I did (albeit just one or two years after me!)- I think this is the first AFL game for someone from the club since Dion Myles? Great, great stuff.

                            I dip my hat ugg. I doubted you would be right about Nipper. I've learnt my lesson!

                              OMG, did you have to? I'd just about banished Dion Myles from all memory. My lasting memory of Myles was Brad Pearce kicking 6 or 7 on him at Princes Park in the late 90's. It wasn't nice.

                              As for Nipper, what you will get is a ferocious attack on the ball, a ferocious attack on the man (he's an excellent tackler) and a pretty damn good overhead mark. You won't get super silky skills however, so I'll be watching with immense interest as well. I just hope he doesn't get crucified if he makes a few clangers as he will no doubt be nervous and one's skills rarely improve under pressure.

                              Well done to the club for pushing these blokes thru, but as I said when AJ got the nod, I wonder how LJ must be feeling?

                                Not at all ugg, I think you're spot on. You'd imagine that if LJ was to also debut (the other logical debutant) it would have been a joint interview piece on the website.
