    I think this is the first week he has been fit for 3 weeks...hard to whack him into the 22 with 3 weeks on the sidelines! There's no rush!

      Why have TDL as an emergency if his fitness is a problem or will he end up playing in the twos?

        TDL should tell the club to jam his contract up their clacker. I cannot believe he"s not getting a game-our forward set up and coaching is becoming a joke.

          This week it won't be easy to decide that on the day - unless he has a helicopter (or submarine).

            I'll have to put Kennelly's inclusion down to the' luck of the Irish'.
            He has been woeful for weeks now, and should of been dropped.
            The Swans hierarchy seem to have a blind love for him.

              Correct me if I'm wrong but don't draftees start out on two year contracts? That expires in five (I hope not), six (most likely) or seven (if we are lucky) weeks.

                  He was going to be picked for the Suns game before he hurt his foot. Prior to that he had issues with fitness and doing what what was required for a small forward.

                  Not having played for 3 weeks would have been a worry for a young player in running the game out so I'm not surprised he's not playing.

                      Ha! Not my usual thing, but I looked up the stats and in the named front six the total combined average contribution is 3 goals per game played. I had to have a laugh. Thats a forward line to be reckoned with!

                        It's got nothing to do with his fitness. He was going to play last week if it rained but didn't. It's raining this week but now he's not playing. He"s obviously close to full fitness but how on earth is he supposed to get 100% fit if he's continually left out?

                        I"d rather a half fit TDL on one leg for 30 minutes than that useless, heartless lump of lard White for a full game. Thank Christ he's been dropped - couldn't have faced watching him masqurade as an AFL player again...

                          Murphy is a big out for them. He's the one whos' lifted the team against us in past games.
                          No Sam Reid. Luckyily it's not ours.

                            Agree & I think Byron & TDL might just make their way to GWS by the end of the season, what a @@@@ up our coaches have had!!! Great goal kicker & key mid & won't play either!! Very ordinary selection processes & crap coaching

                            KEEP BYRON & TDL & GET RIS OF HORSE \, BLAKEY & CO

                              Agree to an extent with this. Byron will go back to Adelaide (maybe we can do something for Bernie Vince?) and TDL will go to Freo or something. I hear Mick M is going to stay at the Black and White fortress for one more season and then may look for his next challenge?

                                He is not a Small Forward Al He is a Medium Forward, Capable of crumbing & taking a big mark. I haven't seen too many of our forwards other than benny or or maybe LRT who tackle hard & keep the ball in. don't say Bolts as he is basically a mid who rests in the forward line. Ryano's pressure has been pretty ordinary this year. I get the feeling that the players don't have confidence in the coaching staff. Just some things that have occurred tell me something is wrong & most of it is atmosphere. There is a really wrong atmosphere about the Swans this year, something is wrong & no-one is talking about it. Byron going home stinks of something wrong & I have asked the club to clarify the situation for the fans. TDL not being picked way before he injured his foot was a problem for me & Al I think if you have a forward capable of kicking goals wether he is good defensively or not develop him in the A's not the 2's & work on the problems there. We could have developed a forward set up that works just because we have a guy like TDL who is a gun in the forward line & could help to develop the young guys &how them where to lead.

                                I think our coaches are totally directed to negative footy & not positive footy. Lets score goals, I think I want all the coaching staff replaced after this woeful season of negativity & lack of a good game plan. I don't think our coaching staff have a long term strategy & I think they only know what came before & stick to that.

                                Scott Waters for Coach of the Swans next year! Lets get someone who knows how to win a PREMIERSHIP as a COACH!!!
