      Trust you to be focussed on dinner, Al. Mind you, a guy that starts dinner at 3.30pm and works his way through to 6.30pm is always working up an appetite.

        That Sydney now has played in three GFs since 2005, winning two, and now finds itself with arguably our best playing list ever owes much to these guys. But credit is due to Kinnear Beatson. Swans supporters owe you a hearty pat on the back.
        Agree, all credit to the smarts of Beatson and his crew.

              A certain A Goodes will be very very difficult to cover when he retires. Not a bad player!!!

The picks in the last four drafts have been sensational especially the last three. While some of the players are no longer with us, as in TDL, they played some pretty good footy for us. But the last four drafts produced; Jetts, Parker, AJ, Hannas, Armstrong, Everitt (I think he will be good), Kennedy, McGlinn, Morton, Mumford, Seaby, Pyke, Reid and Rohan. Add to them Lamb and Mitchell both potential stars and big Tommy who has potential as big guys often develop later.
                    We now have Tippett and all the new boys as well as some pretty impressive talent already running around in the Two's in Lockyer, Brown, Cunningham and Biggs. Add all the players here before the last four drafts and we have the potential to be the super team of the 2010's. If our players stick together and we can manage to put together legitimate secondary deals for them we will keep most of them for a long time. There will be the occasional player who doesn't make it but that is unfortunate but life.
                    Actually I agree completely with this thread, but I think the best thing to be said for the Everitt trade at the moment is that it's a scoreless-draw.

                      Actually we're 2 nil up on that one.

                          That was said many times after Kelly and Co retired too. I'm sure it won't be as difficult as some think.

                          I wonder if KB's parent's were trend setters in themselves - drop the hyphen and the first name of your child. Other gem surname combo's, the obvious - White Goodes...or........Hannebery Jack. Sounds like he came from either a Mark Twain novel or the swamps of Louisiana.
                          Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

                            Vespa and Andrejs are an interesting match and not just because both players' names have a redundant consonant.

                            Statistically Paddy comes out just ahead, but Drejs has kicked two matchwinners so I'd give him the cigar.

                              Not a bad player...but I think it's covered. He's a bonus at the moment.

                              When I think of our midfield strength I think:

                              Kennedy
                              Jack
                              O'Keefe
                              Hannebery

                              I don't think Goodes.

                              Even up forward you'll have Reid, Tippett, the resting ruckman, Goodes.
                              The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

                                The Hun today has us listed as the third best list in the league. Notes that our forward line is 11th.

                                Also comments we have least number of top 20 picks. Equal least no 5 game or more players.

                                Beats on has put us in a great place of having a good enough side to win a premiership now, enough youth comming through. Not many list cloggers
