    Apparently, afl.com are advertising to log in at 6:25 for the teams. What a @@@@ing joke. It's a national competition, but the whole country has to wait longer to suit Channel 7 in Melbourne.

    I realise its a small issue, but it pissed me off mightily last year and it looks like I'm going to be pissed off again....

          O'Keefe has been dropped! Match-ups apparently...Laidler, LRT, Rampe and Cunningham to play.

                  Jed Lamb didn't make first selection for GWS - he's an emergency.

                    Sad for ROK to miss but I like that Horse is prepared to make that call. Very solid looking team, and a few good players still missing.

                      Does this team mean LRT to back up in ruck?

                        ?Unfortunately it?s probably pressed a few players out of the team and particularly Ryan O?Keefe, who is not playing in the seniors this week.

                        ?He?s obviously a very important player for us and we still expect him to be an important player for us this year.

                        ?He?s still got a big role to play for this footy club this year on the ground but unfortunately he couldn?t get a game this week.

                          my bet is that ROK is being given a little rest so that he is fresher for later in the season. he worked his guts out last year and looked a little buggered towards the end. but well done to cunningham!!

                                well well well

                                The Swans have generally had a tradition of ensuring that their champions go out in style.........almost graciously !

                                No true second ruck and no ROK

                                hmmmmm......Laidler, Rampe, Shaw, LRT and Harry picked ahead of ROK....

                                it almost feels like the decision of a great leader........but it does feel uncomfortable !

                                I think in a lot of our hearts we probably could see it last year bit by bit but in the trials etc Ryan looked off the pace !

                                I mentioned a month ago Ryans player profile being very left field


                                "We hope in 2014 that he can maintain his consistency and be a leader on and off the field. We want him to really play the team game for us because the players look to that when we?ve got our key players, and in Ryan?s case, our second most experienced player, setting the tone."
