I have no idea what reason the selectors had for picking these two. And it must be really disheartening for the boys in the twos who actually work their butts off and have form and play well and to never be rewarded for their effort and to see others get picked who don't show the same work rate or results.
    Rodney Eade anyone.

      I would have thought Everitt and Spangher are much the same height and likely play forward. So why didn't LRT go out of Everrit?

        Is it at all possible to hide Malceski next to the point post in the forward pocket?

          An opportunity to test some up and comers sadly lost, poor form Horse.

            Happy with mal. Some here seem to forget how good his left foot CAN be... I'm happy they gave him a second chance. Everitt is probably going to be the sub which has done well before and not so well... Sub is a bit of a lottery anyway.

              Left foot has been poor for a long time. I for one am not happy to hang around any longer waiting to see how he CAN be.

              Both these blokes should be in the outer drinking beer with the fans this week.

                    Well, if nothing else, we'll have some penetrating kicks going on if these two can find space on the wings, I think horse has taken teh view that on a longer ground, kick it longer, as long as they have a plan. I'm still longing for a FF, and if you include Longmire, thats a long list of longs

                      Put him on a wing, let him run and carry and spot Sammy on the chest!!
                      Probably his best role.

                        It's a secret code by that secret Swans society. Dan Brown's writing a book on it.

                        Why has Mal all of a sudden become Mal-odourus??? You'd think he'd been swimmin in the pig swill.
                        Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

                          You make some great points there and i partially agree with most but we have been so bad down south this year id like to see some risky selections that may or not pay off rather than just going down the same path all the time.

                          I dont agree Moore couldnt play either as yes they have some quicks but they also have slower players like Watson,Monfries and Lonergan.Why is Jarred still even at the club as each week im sure they must just come up with a new excuse for him not to get a game.

                          My memory isnt great but didnt he come in for one game last year almost take mark of the year and did a few other nice things and he was dropped never to return,seems to me if Mitchell isnt ready Moore was the perfect replacement for Mcglynn.

                          From what i remember of Morton as a Tiger he always had an X-Factor to his game,yes he was also seemingly very lazy but we brought him to the club for a reason lets see what he can do in the real stuff,maybe he hasnt earnt a game as well as we would like but the time is now for taking a bit of a risk,same with either Gordon or Moore.

                          We cant keep spruiking the value of making players earn games if they then see more Senior players getting judged differently,you dont only send a player back to the twos for him to get form,it should also send a message to every player that nobodys spot in this side is a god given right,its a priviledge and if Mal and Everitt dont earn their spot and are just gifted a return what does that say to younger players?

                            On what we've seen this year, Mal is no longer a penetrating kick.

                              I have a theory that Moore is being prepared for a coaching position, not based on any facts or anything, just my observations on him when he plays with the ressies, he is very good with the young ones.
                              As I said not based on anything but guesswork.
                              It would be good to see him in the firsts though
