I guarantee Nick Davis' 2005 effort gets an airing in the free-to-air pre-match wank-fest. Might just be the first time it is worth watching.
A nice half-time interview with him would be good too.Comment

Despite his lack of consistency one of the things I like about Everitt is that he can kick straight, particularly for goal. The same can't be said for a lot of the other swans. Even though I think he gets a bit of a bad rap, I think he'll get dropped.up the gutsComment

Pyke
I absolutely agree and truly feel that Pyke is trending upwards in the same way he was before that unfortunate injury last season against the dogs. He is super conservative with his release but can mark and tackle and kick straight and run real hard - perfect against the cats - he could easily bag three goals in the advanced position while bruising up the Rucker's while Mummy can roam. Yeah I am a big fan. Remember what he did to the dogs in Canberra?If they drop Pykie it would be sheer stupidity. This ruck combo is working really well. Both lads provide a big target in the Forward line and take heat off Sammy. Longmire was grinning from ear to ear about how our rucks have gone the last two weeks and I can't see him changing them.
If Goodes is fit he may come back depending on his assessment to match fitness. He is due to resume. Benny will be back and the pocket rocket will be ready to get revenge for being outed. If they both come in then I think Mal will definitely go. Drey will probably too which I think is sad. I think if they gave him a bigger role in the mids he would do well as well as KO duties with Tony Armstrong. LRT is probably not needed against Geelong but against say Carlton he would be. Horses for courses. We need to attack against the Cats and I think Morton, Drey & TDL could be good with Goodes & Benny. But who is the third out? Don't have a ruddy clue! Too many playing too well.
White needs better ruck work and to stop giving away free's - Spangher on last season's form would be impossible to omit, when ready. LRT has a knack for sporadic yet inspirational plays but can go missing here and there.
Just would like to see big Mike get one or two more games to see if the trend continues. I pretty much agree with the rest of the general consensus here. Cannot wait for the biggun.Comment

I don't want to bag Spangher because I think he did a reasonable job last year and offered something in the forward line, but lets not get too carried away here. It seems the longer he is absent the better his season was.
To put it in perspective, his last game in the seniors was the semi final against the Hawks which yielded 6 posessions and 1 goal. In his 6 games he averaged 10 posessions, 2.5 tackles and 1.3 goals per game
Whilst stats don't tell the full story, he is going to need to step up a notch before he can be labelled our forward line saviourComment

...we look a much more balanced team with him playing up front...
