    That was next to useless talking gibberish to Marty when we wanted to know who all the newbies are, very frustrating.

      Dermie impresses once again with his "non-knowledge" of the Swans by referring to Brandon Jack's brother as Gary!

        First game against Carlton 13 lads not from our GF team and only 10 from our GF team........and boy oh boy there was a big gap

        Armstrong - nice delivery but struggled with the pace of the first 1/4.......settled second qtr in the same loose defender role
        Cunningham - some great bursts in attack from the back flanks.......he is quick and such a long kick at pace
        Towers - tried to win possession and was mainly in the midfield it appeared
        White - as always a few big plays yet was a bit quiet for me
        Lloyd - he does look dangerous.......small player but if it wasnt slippery conditions his takes would have been cleaner up front
        Lockyear - was under the pump with carlton flooding our back line.....
        Rampe - tried hard in a tagging role mainly in our backline.....he is raw but agressive for the ball and can be developed i think....long left kick
        Jack Jnr - played outside flanks and looked ok, very quick.....big step up though without being overawed
        Walsh - hands werent clean in the first qtr before the rain and just doesnt look like he has the confidence yet......he has the skill
        Lamb - looked comfortable out there, work rate good, has the skills and my prediction is that he will play Seniors in 2013
        Everitt - tried very hard, pressure was good and will play some more Seniors in 2013 when needed
        Biggs - ok......little over awed and execution was a little tentative
        Naismith - tried hard but needs to bulk up as pushed around a little

          I think you can probably forgive that as more a slip of the tongue than a complete lack of knowledge.
          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

            I was surprised that none of the other commentators corrected him!

                  I know I'm being pedantic and all but did anyone else notice that when the team list flashed across the screen that Birdy's name came up as "C.BIRG"???

                    Are we the only team this year with not a single young player to show an ounce of skill or promise in the NAB cup? Everyone just terrible.....seniors shocking as well. This is really, really embarrassing. NAB cup, I know but some effort or pride is still expected!!!!!!!!!!

                      Not a great deal to like so far. That goal by White was pretty special though. He can certainly move wen he wants to

                        Jesus these @@@@@@@*** umpires have been on us all day. Missing Shaw, Mumford, jetta, goodes, smith, mattner, Kennedy, Bolton, pyke, Morton, LRT, Mcglynn, Malceski,
                        LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

                          And none of that is any kind of excuse for this shocking effort.

                            I thought we weeded out all these overly negative, write us off at the jump of a hat supporters after last year's performance?

                              Nobody is writing the swans off. Just stating there wasn't a lot to take out of our performances tonight, Armstrong was good. Whites goal. That's about it. We only played ten premiership players, and we're probably a few weeks behind in our preparation than other sides, so it's not a big deal. You can't deny it was pretty painful to watch though.

                                Thought Rampe, Lamb and Everitt showed the most promise. Rampe was in everything, Lamb continues to develop, and Everitt seems to have gained a little size and poise. Cunningham still very raw, Towers didn't seem to have as much game time as the other newbies, which actually suggests to me he's considered closer to senior selection than the others.
