    Tippet has had one good one poor GF. On borrowed time, but I'm still on side
    Rohan is in the same boat as McVeigh. I am the only one concerned that a 3rd failure is likely.?
    Mcglynn wasn't selected in 2012 for a good reason, in hindsight.

          Mcglynn was dodgy going into that GF with his ongoing hamstring issues. In Hindsight probably should have not played. However Rohan been Worst player on the ground for 2014 and 2016 GFs. Obviously cannot handle the nerves.

          I also heard on twitter that Heeney is a Swan until 2022. I thought he signed until 2020. Was there an extension clause on his contract?

            2022 is correct. He signed a 5-year extension at end last year which takes him to end 2022.

              I actually think Rohan will respond this year. He knows full well that he didn't perform in those games. If i could find a market, I would have a sneaky $10 on him winning the Norm Smith after kicking 5 goals.

                All evidence points the other way.

                Easily the most frustrating player on our list. He should be good, but isn't.

                  Menzel of Geelong on trade block because of lack of forward pressure. Rohan is invaluable because of his pressure. Vital player who doesn't need a lot of possies. Can play back as well-BOG in 2014 prelimHhandy goal kicker and always potential match winner hence contact extension to 2020.

                    Not very fair to single out Rohan when most of our guys didn't turn up when it mattered. Only Kennedy (14+16), Buddy (14), Mitchell (16), Rampe (16) and maybe one or two I've missed, actually played well for us

                      Grundy very good in last year's GF.

                        I'd trade Rohan in a heartbeat if he has another p1ss poor finals series. If you can't stand up in finals you are just a list clogger.
                        I'd swap with Menzel.

                          Well barry, if you see it that way I have a nice bridge for sale.
                          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)

                              Sorry memories!

                              His selection cost is last year's flag.
                              Please.

                                There's wrong-headed and then there's bat@@@@@ crazy. These comments skirt the borderline.

                                Or is it just good old-fashioned trolling?
