    Enough is enough

    Rohan must be traded.
    He simply must.
    You all know why.

    Sad but true.

      Averaging 6 touches a game is just not worth the effort.

        At least the of those went straight to cats players.

        If he stays, we aren't serious about winning premierships.

            Hmmm. 10 touches a rarity if you take out the bottom teams.

            Getting beaten by Motlop in a 2:1 contest is not good enough.

              He is not anything other than a fwd
              we needed a key defender and the dumb arse coach left him out and upset team balance
              rohan has never done anything outside the 50m fwd line
              put buddy at fullback and he wouldnt get a kick either

                You're kidding yeah? The guy is a serial offender at going missing in big games.
                He started forward and did absolutely nothing. He goes behind the ball to try to get a kick and still can't.

                  He plays well cos he gets the 4th defender behind bud reid sinks never gets a kick up the ground
                  Agree he has a bad record in finals but his best game is only 10poss and 2 goals as a deep fwd
                  Of course he looks ordinary if our fwd line is unbalanced

                  The other question with the guy is how after 8 yrs and all that speed and perfect mid build is how has he never started in for a centre bounce
                  Put a tank on him for christ sake

                    He hasn't got the endurance to go near a centre square. 10 possessions is not acceptable unless he's a tackling machine - which he isn't.

                      The way Rohan played out the last 1/4 was that of a man who knows his time with the swans is up.

                      He may fall on his sword and ask for a trade. A fresh start might be best for him. When bigfooty and the media are talking about the "Gary Rohan Award" for worst player in a final, it must be devestating and just adds more pressure to him. The role he is being asked to play isnt getting the most out of his ability. Maybe go to North and rebuild your confidence. Be a good player in a poor side rather than a poor player in a good side.

                        Where should he be played, either as a Swan or at another club?

                          Why do you ask that question ?
                          It's difficult to answer because it could be simply that speedy players who like space don't suit our game plan. Jetta and Rohan and Cunningham being examples. Jetta looks to be doing ok at WC.

                            Say after me:
                            Rohan is a forward
                            He is not a defender.
                            He is a good mark.
                            He is a good kick.
                            He is good at harassing defenders inside his 50.
                            He needs the ball to be at his best.
                            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)

                              Rohan as a player is like the cream on top for a team.

                              He's not the type of player to stand up and carry the team when everyone else is having a shocker. That's what Parker/Buddy/Kennedy are for.
