The ironic thing about Lloyd not being able to find anybody running to space to provide a get out target in the dying stages, is that Lloyd is usually that guy.
Fosdike was the master of gut running to space and provided a get out for the likes of Leo and Tadhg. Lloyd does a similar job...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Ladies and gents
So much was lost prior to Lloyd kicking down the line like he should in that situation and more effort for a contest across the line was required
The top 6 are very evenly matched except on their day GWS and Hawks are to good for our inexperienced depth"be tough, only when it gets tough"

I'm pleased to see people speaking up for Lloyd - he's been good for us this year without necessarily being brilliant - but he's been a solid, reliable player. At first I was inclined to blame him, but the poor bloke was running in a circle and couldn't find a handy Swan anywhere, so kick long and hope for the best wasn't necessarily the poorest choice.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

I'd say thats put as toward a predicted 5th finish. We'll need to snag an "upset" win somewhere, or hope one of the top 4 drop a game unexpectedly.Comment

It'd be hard enough to do the ladder predictor in R23. Absolutely impossible with 8 rounds to go unless you pick 9 winners every week.Bloods

Never sold on Nankervis; if you are not fast and or have a tank you can't be a ruckman.
Love the guy but never saw the reasoning behind recruiting him in the first place.
Sinclair is very young and this experience will improve him no ends.
Did anyone watch AA on afl.com today??
Once again Tower catch napping and quite a few of our player not pushing back hard enough.
Still a take the positive note on all this; very young team in contention for a premiership.
Hawks will lose this week, we win at Geelong, and the hawks drop 5 places!doof-doof

I think there is a little bit of a balancing between having the right composition of players come finals time that can combat successfully the best teams vs just recruiting the best players
we have had to manufacture Lloyd, HarryC and Towers into what we need vs the high recruits that are more gifted at say GWS
Even mills and Heeney are altered to what we need at either end of the field instead of their rightful midfield possies and that means flat lining some weeks
The amount of young high picked outside players they have stocked has made their combo with the cherry picked Snr players is just awesome
Therefore we have had to put time into the fast and link players And that happens in an up and down profession in ability and mastery

I had go on the AFL predictor a few times and ended up with us finishing either fourth or second but every time GWS was on top.
I think they both look like footballers. They do seem to be in the right spot on the field at the right times but just don't have the experience to make the most of that positioning."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!."

Nankervis is always going to be hamstrung by being a dinosaur type ruckman at a time where the game appears to be rapidly moving past that style of football. Would of been a potential 200+ gamer if he was born 20 years earlier, but I just can't see it now.
Sinclair really does appear to be an almost player. He is not particularly young in terms of his age, but is still relatively inexperienced.
What is clear is that we need a lot more around the ground from whatever rucks we have in the team to have any hope against the Cats and Hawks."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Is it just me, or does Callum S look like he needs to be wearing a stack hat when he's running.
It must be so hard being that tall.
Sinclair will come about... he just needs more time.
I'd like to see the 2s ruckman stand a little taller.
We need them.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I suppose that's very young compared to me.
