    When you have to use LRT as a backup ruckman after his period of absence last year, all I can say is WTF..... Even when fit this is a sad choice.

        I have said it before, LRT is not aruckmans bootlace and it is an impossibility that Pyke can ruck without help for a full season. I do not rate Derickx who is a Richmond cast off and Naismith and Nankervis are not yet ready. I am missing my Mummy. Our only salvation will be Tippet who can do some ruck work which will be a total waste of a star full forward who will most likely get injured in the ruck. What we have achieved with our coup is given up White for an aging overweight ex superstar and Everitt for Laidler and Mumford for Derickx plus using up a lot of our salary cap and likely losing our COLA. Somebody once said that a champion team will always beat a team of champions. Which way are we heading?

            Ageing? - He's in his prime at 27.
            Overweight? - He's the same as he was at Hawthorn!
            Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                We sucked on Saturday and so did our gameplan but in fairness to the entire squad, we have a couple of new players and we may need some time to gel and tweak.

                Now that the Saturday from hell is over I'm starting to get more optimistic.

                    I love how plenty of people have written Buddy off after 1 official game in Swans colours!

                        We must play Derickx, or why even bother drafting him, so he can learn the trade spudding around in the reserves.....
