    Kennedy is a gun. Buddy is a gun. Mitchell is an emerging talent.

      I think he is more than emerging talent!!

        Perhaps he's a knife.

        There needs to be a bit of gun control in our evaluation of players. Some people are calling Tom Derickx a gun as well.

          When Pykey's back Tom will shoot through.
          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 wouldn't go that far.

            Tom D has been great and is growing in stature, Tom M is set to be a game changer!!

              Unfortunately, both Lloyd and Mitchell are worthy of spots in the team, however I think that if we drop Lloyd for Mitchell then we will lose some of our pinpoint delivery into our forward line. Last season (and the beginning of this season) we were all complaining about the mids bombing it into the forward line, but now it is being directed. I know that some of this may be coincidence, but maybe it is also a bit of a flow-on effect, but since Lloyd came into the team the delivery into the forwards has been excellent. Mitchell is an inside player who is exceptional with extracting the ball, while Lloyd is an outside player who delivers it well. It is a nice problem to have.

                OK. Let's keep Lloyd but drop Hanners or KJ.

                  It would surprise Geelong and their match committee

                    It was funny, i was having a discussion with a friend. I think Elite gets bandied about too easily. We were talking about Mids. if each club has 4 main mids, then thats 72. say if you make the top 10% elite (still seems generous), then that means there's 7 elite mids in the comp. I mean otherwise you are adding Dustin Martin to the elite group with GAJ. Though I dare say he is off charts

                      Now you're talking sense.

                        The Swans could appeal against the MRP's decision on the Hannebery "bump". That might solve the problem for a couple of weeks.

                          Yep try and set a precedent - we think he is guilty. That would be a surprise

                            Someone just called in SEN and suggested Tom D better than Nic Nat.

                            Daniel Harford is a big fan

                            Cult figure?

                              Why is Kennedy always selected? Has he got some dirt on Horse? Maybe he could be the one to make way.

                                Agree. We don't get enough Spread Spread Spread from Josh. Bring in Towers. Get some pace into the side.
