Pre season Training

[ernie koala]

I just had a look at the highlights package for Walsh, Morton & Armstrong again.
They are all real team players I noticed, giving the ball to a player in a better position every time.

Maybe in the highlight packages...but Morton has always been a selfish player,goes for speccies unnecessarily, impossible kicks for goal rather than looking for a better option, poor chasing.... which is why Hardwick left him out of his ordinary team, and then traded him.
Hopefully coming face to face with AFL mortality, and joining an unselfish culture at the Swans, will cause him to change his ways and become a team player.....at this stage he's saying all the right things...time will tell.

I am reading you loud and clear Wardy.

I see we've invited a few players to train with the squad.
Harry Cunningham (Wagga)........... Maybe a Kel selection!
Potter and Thompson (from Sydney)
and Campbell Heath.
Does anyone know much about Cunningham from Turvey Park?

He's a winger that played for NSW/ACT Rams U18s this year. I'm surprised that GWS haven't taken him as he played a number of games in their NEAFL side this year. Has pace and very good skills.

How many rookie spots do we have open now?

I have heard a number of U18 football watchers name him as the stand out from this year's RAMS team and PK specifically mentioned him in a radio interview last week. Seems very surprising if the Giants are passing him over as he clearly lives within their zone.

would our rookie list be ?

1. Krueger
2. McNeal
3. Brown
4. Lockyear
5. ?
6. ?

Brown and Lockyer have just been drafted in the ND so they are on the senior list, not the rookie list.

Kruger and McNeil will be on next year's rookie list. Obviously Campbell Heath, Potter, Cunningham and Thompson in contention spots. KB mentioned in his post draft interview that they were tossing up for pick 61 between three players they liked, and that the other two were still available at the conclusion of the ND. It is possible that Cunningham was one of those two. Who knows?

It is hard to keep track of how many rookie spots are potentially available. I think it could be as many as 11 in total (including Eugene and Dylan). It is almost certainly considerably higher than the number the club will actually take if recent history is anything to go by. My guess is that they will aim for a total rookie list of between 6 and 8.

Sounds perfect for the Swans.

Delete Brown and Lockyer from your list as they are on the Senior list. Not rookies.

I can see us taking maybe 4 rookies, leaving us with a rookie list of 6 players. Cunningham has been great, don't know why GWS passed on him. I'd be happy for us to take him. Can we still take players under the NSW rookie rule? Or has that been totally replaced by the Academy system? I know we took Dyl under it, but I can't remember if that was before or after the Academy system was in place.

I'm sure there are some male fans who have as much interest. 'Not that there's anything wrong with that...'
