Can't fathom Jetta or ROK worry. Rohan was almost our best in the Preliminary final. Bird was great all year. Same with McGlynn. He is going into the midfield this year A tough tough nut. Goodes of course has to stay fit but even on one leg he is great. Same for LRT. Shaw has lots of competition in that backline. But getting in the first 22 is going to be a tough battle for all players as it should be. I think we sometimes underestimate the depth of our team. We probably have about 28 players who when fit can play. Good place to be.

Prelim Final ... Rohan 6 possessions 2 goals... "almost our best" says Bloodlines ... struggling to be other than hopeful that this fine young man can be a real contributor. Perhaps he didn't play many minutes ... can't remember ... this is typical of the overstatement of what we have barely seen so far.Comment

Gary... what flavour would you like your humble pie to be?Comment

I have never seen a replay of the game he broke his leg in, but his performance in that half of a quarter sticks in my mind.
At the time we had no FF - our forward line was a huge weakness. In that game Rohan started as a sole force leading out of the square. I think he kicked 2 goals? I remember the look on his face when he took the 2nd mark on the lead (he slotted the goal). It was just pure confidence. He knew he had his man beat, and he was going to keep doing it all day...then disaster.
He can jump, take speccy's, he's quick, has great hands, can kick straight, and he's a massive competitor.
He will take Goodes mantle as the Swan who can do it all. I am looking forward to Rohan's year.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Couldn't agree more.
Like Jetta, he won't need to get it 30 times a game to make a profound effect on the contest. A player with that pace,agility and skill is a rare thing in the AFL.
I mention Jetta for another reason. There was a lot humble pie eaten when Jetta realised the potential most of us saw in him. Rohan will do exactly the same while overcoming a great deal more hardship than Jetta had to...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

mmmmm Humble Pie . It always tastes really good when a player from your own team makes you eat it - not so good if they say go to collingwood and do same.Comment

It will be interesting to see how Jesse White comes up at Collingwood ... the old version ... last years improved model ... or something quite amazing ... all are possibilities!
I will watch with interest and wish him well.
Don't like their chances of improving Armstrong (who I think was picked up by them?).Comment

How about Rohans game as sub vs the Weagles at Subiaco. 1 qtr, circa 12 possessions, outrageous attack on the ball and the game breaker in a huge come from behind victory. To suggest he is all potential is nuff nuff talk.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

On a related subject, Quentin Lynch would have to rate as the biggest free agency flop to date. I thought the pies were going to be unstoppable with Cloke and the Q-stick, but all they really did as a team was demonstrate that it's possible to miss a goal while standing on the goal umpires toes. Now everyone is talking about Jesse as an almost certain starter, which I presume means Lynch will be playing out the rest of his contract in the VFL.Comment

I was one of those who thought Jesse well and truly turned the corner and think he will have a good year. Same for Dre, as he made some big improvements in his defensive game. But the reality is that neither had much of a chance to crack a healthy Swans' side in 2014. Buddy, Reid, Goodes and Rohan coming into the forward line; AJ, LRT, and Laidler added to the defense. It's hard to see those guys getting a game, but nonetheless, I think they are both good enough to start on 'lesser' teams.
I hope I don't have to eat humble pie, by calling the Pies and Blues lesser teams.Comment
