    I will be amazed if he ever gets another game.

    Worst debutant I have seen at the Swans in the last decade.

      Triple M liked to say his-cox over and over... I think they just liked the way they were making is sound, not because he was getting much of the ball.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        The fact he is not having surgery and they remarked that they strongly believe he will be ready to play in 8 weeks indicates that they were just a bit too optimistic on the original timeframe, something very easy to do. Mathew Egan I believe had a different kind of foot injury and there have been questions about him returning too early. I don't recall how severe the Clark injury was, but I believe he had a fracture. Mathew Richardson returned after a year from a Lisfranc injury that required surgery. He often comments about how bad it was, but he did come back and play well for many years.
        Mathew Egan trained on it during the week after the game. I am pretty sure he did it in the last round and wanted to play finals. How in the heck he got his foot to the ground amazed me, and to think the medical staff allowed him to do it.

          Tonight might answer the question. My problem with Harry is that it appears when he comes up against the "hard" sides, he goes missing or avoids body contact.

              I thought Aliir showed a lot of good signs and looked composed. Was unlucky not to get a handball as well that would have given him a goal.

              Hiscox will never play again. Aliir will be a 10 year player.

                He wasnt unlucky not to get a handball - he ran to the wrong spot.

                As he did on alot of occassions. Was pretty under whelming from what I saw.
                He ate more cheese, than time allowed

                  Alliir was OK with his first few touches, everything else was a disaster.
                  I really only noticed Hiscox a few times so I will reserve judgment on him.

                  But I find it hard to judge someone's long term prospects on one game.

                    Every week we have players that get a miserly six or so touches. It's called an off day for them, but the vitriol directed against a young guy playing his first game on this forum has gone a bit far IMO. Have some faith in the coaches and why they selected him. They had a plan and it didn't work out. We'll be playing Hawthorn in about four hours and whole lot of plans for that game won't work out either. We'll have three or four guys that won't get into double figures. And we will next week too.

                      I'm with those who aren't effectively slamming the Swans drafting and selection committees
                      "One game. - Game over."
                      I hope he earns another go.
                      The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

                        Swans will get the wooden spoon this year and it's all Jack Hiscox's fault

                          My opinion was formed before his one game.
                          His performance against Richmond reinforced that belief.
                          (If he gets another chance, hope he succeeds.)

                            Very impressed with the Swans fans joining in the two minutes of clapping on Friday night - Very Classy.
