    Campbell Heath's disposal and decision making are terrible, not up to afl standard imo, last time he played in the seniors he turned the ball over 5-6 times in a row

      Birdy (and Nick Smith) epitomises what makes our team so good. Not flashy players at all, but so good at playing their role for the team, and they make the right decision nearly every time. Birdy had a great year in 2012, and anyone that thinks he might potentially drop out of the team really needs to get their head read!

          We are looking with eagerness to see how KT is going to strengthen our forward line, and to the time when Rohan will be back on the field to make it even better but what about Morton. His last few games, which were actually his first few games, were quite extraordinary when you think about it. Being thrown into finals games after struggling all season to get a game must have been very tough mentally. He said he was very nervous but he played with a certain amount of composure and seemed to fit in like he had been playing all year. From this little we have seen of him he could become as much a star as KT and before Reid and Gazza. How many stars can we fit into our forward line!! We also have Lamb waiting in the wings preparing to dazzle us with with his bit of magic. Wow, a five star forward line coming up - faint ........

            It was plain embarrassing and so bad he actually cost us the game. Guess the coaches weren't too happy they had to move him from his direct opponent twice then dragged him and he hasn't played a game since. He has played 2 games in 4-5 years at the club its no surprise we lost them both.

              How do you think he went this year? Which bad disposal or decision sticks in your mind from this season just gone?

                  Yeah, that season. Which games did his disposal and decision making look terrible?

                      You're not seriously trying to pass judgment on his prospective AFL 2 games from more than 2 years ago?

                          I'm guessing there are many on here that will be willing to take that wager.

                          I've only seen him in one game this year and that was the GF looked very Teddyesque from what I saw. Although much younger.

                              We are developing allot of depth. Everitt, Rohan, Meredith, Armstrong and Tom Mitchell are some of the players that are up to AFL standard that didn't play an AFL final. If we can land Tippett, we may have an embarrassment of riches next year (although I think we will lose a player to land Tippett). Getting a bit excited!!!

                                If we get Tippett and everyone is fit, who is in the Swans best 22 next year

                                Just listening to the AFL trade radio and Terry Wallace suggested that from the GF team LRT, Morton and Pyke would miss out for Tippett, Rohan and McGlynn.

                                But would we really drop 2 talls for a tall and a small??

                                GF team
                                B: Rhyce Shaw Ted Richards Martin Mattner
                                HB: Alex Johnson Heath Grundy Nick Smith
                                C: Lewis Jetta Kieren Jack Daniel Hannebery
                                HF: Craig Bird Sam Reid Ryan O'Keefe
                                F: Jarrad McVeigh Adam Goodes Lewis Roberts-Thomson
                                Foll: Shane Mumford Josh Kennedy Jude Bolton
                                Int: Nick Malceski Mike Pyke Mitch Morton
                                Luke Parker (sub)

                                I agree that Tippett, Rohan and McGlynn come in to the team if fit, but the way i see it Tippett comes in for Pyke (very unlucky), Rohan in for Morton but who goes out for McGlynn??
                                Does LRT lose his spot? Surely he is a better back up ruck than Tippett.

                                Would like to hear your thoughts!
