    Lewis Johnston is putting up some big numbers in the SANFL for Norwood. SANFL watchers suggest he would be leading the Margarey Medal voting after 4 rounds.

      What was the go with him? He had so much potential when we drafted him. Was it just a matter of not having the dedication and commitment?

          I see on Seven's 'Gameday' that Hanners was at the Swans/Tigers game last night sitting with Will Hayward and other Swans players. They didn't make anything of it as there wasn't anything in it but they had a Saint player there in the studio (not sure who it was) and he was just talking about how good Hanners is with his support of his team mates etc. Hanners did seem very comfortable sitting where he was, animatedly chatting with his old team mates.....

          No doubt he's happy with where his new team is at.....

            Tim Membery was superb at the "G" yesterday. He marked everything that came near him.

                Who wouldn't be happy getting 800,000 on the dole?

                The other ex Swan with them was Alex Johnson.

                  Had to google as I had forgot his name but pretty sure Tony Armstrong was in the rooms too , who we got from Adelaide in the Lewis Johnston trade .

                    Chris Judd on Footy Classified tonight has already declared Gary Rohan as the recruit of year after his bag of 4 goals today! Hutchy suggesting he is a trade up for Geelong over Menzel, who hasn't played a game yet this year.

                      He certainly is benefitting immensely from a team where his role looks very well defined, and from a team that can actually deliver the ball well into the forward 50.

                      Lets see how he goes when the Cats aren't playing so well - but so far, so good for him. And good on him - the change of scenery might be just what he needed.

                        I think your first line sums it up perfectly. He didn't need a change of scenery, but rather a team that is capable of moving the ball to the forward line directly and efficiently (as would any forward)

                          The odd thing was that St Kilda played in the game timeslotted "before" us (I think at the MCG).
                          He would have missed the first quarter getting across town in time to watch the swans.
                          Shouldn't he have been watching (and supporting) his new team?
                          Weird.
                          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                              If Rohan continues the year on the trajectory he has shown in the first few rounds, I will eat my words and concede the problem was not Gary Rohan, but the Swans football department (gamestyle, player development, etc).

                              The post-Colless era is not looking rosy.

                                I miss Gazza (now known as Chuckie at Geelong). I only wish him well and have been cheering his goals. I am delighted to see him blooming at Geelong. I wish he was still with us in that sort of form. Clearly, at this stage, Geelong are winning the (effective) Rohan-Menzel trade.

                                That said, and sad as I am that we pushed Gaz out (I think he made it clear that he didn't really want to leave), it doesn't mean we made the wrong decision. He wasn't going so well playing for us. And I think the point that he may not have been getting the same service from our midfield is a point well made. Whether it's the players or the system or his role or that they are just coaching him better it's working out better for him on field at Geelong. Anyway, it can be a win-win-win trade although one that at this stage Gaz is winning the most and us the least. It's up to us to make of it now. Hopefully Menzel will come good for us.

                                And in the meantime, I continue to wish Gaz every success at Geelong, including that he plays well.
