    Well done, Plugger. I think you just summed up our situation.

      Yep, and you would assume that going against bigger bodies in his first game at AFL level Toby would probably get worn out a little quicker (understandable).

      Even though he's come back via the NEAFL, you'd assume for his first game at AFL level returning from a hammy they'd be thinking "take it easy, likely sub off" and I daresay that would probably be the plan for a 19 year old ruck on debut as well.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        Do you think all the "ex Tiger makes good" stories would be appearing if he wasn't going to play against his old team? Need to get some senior game time into Pyke but probably not a whole game. It's a challenge that it looks set for showers though.

            So apparently the plane the swans were on couldn't leave sydney cause of brake troubles. So they are going on a later flight. Having said that has anyone seen who is flying so we can get an early indication of team selections ?

                I'm guessing Zac Jones.

                  Exciting...Either Jones (most likely) or Membrey(most anticipated).

                    or both Rohan and Hanners out

                      Ugg is pretty good on these. He says "a debutant", so I guess he means just one...Hey Ugg??

                          Pyke Jones for rohan hanners.

                          Hopefully Jones starts, no Membrey

                            Ugg just knows.

                            Congrats to Zak.

                            I guess that's it for ROK's career.

                              I'll pour myself an extra drink tonight and raise a glass to Ryan.

                              Congratulations to Zak, exciting times!

                                Longmire said Rohan will play in the reserves practice match to build his fitness. It means ether Membrey or Nankervis will be the travelling emergency.
