    Cool, I was curious which one would get picked.

        Glad you included that. Patrick sounds like a valuable acquisition.
        And The Hun got Pykey and Kennelly the wrong way round ("respectively").
        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

          I was just wondering, shouldn't we be concentrating on signing more 6'7" rugby players from Canada and forget about the American basketballers???

            Have you heard Pykie's accent? Probably going for the Iowan because they could understand him......or not.

              Have you noticed that Pykey and Mitchell have the same accent? They probably got him to be an interpreter.

                Imagine if Pyke Mitchell the 2nd & Walsh shared a house ... the Swans would need to employ a tri-lingual translator to get anything done in that place!

                    I was wondering about Mitchell - as he'll be very green when he starts next year, is there a level lower than NEAFL that we would be able to play him early in the season? Most other clubs have access to VFL/WAFL/SANFL reserves - do we have a level lower than our Reserves team where we can give a player a run? I was just wondering if a lower level is available to our rookies as he'd be way behind his teammates in Ressies (and behind where Mike Pyke was at the start of his career too)...

                      Are you talking about a lower level?

                            Yes I guess I was thinking SFL or something but its probably unlikely?

                              A season in the NTFL over summer probably wouldn't hurt....
