    Longmire did bang on a lot yesterday about the need to pick a team mindful that each week is important, not just round 1.

      With our foot skills we would probably kick it over his head or a metre short.

        This is the first thing I thought of. I hope they worked on their delivery in the pre-season, it was a weak-link last year.

          Longmire yesterday:

          “Sinclair was fine last week; we just didn’t want to risk him because our ruck stocks were a fraction thin. He’s been training fine so we’d imagine he’ll be right this week. The bonus of last week's JLT game against Gold Coast was seeing how Aliir went in the ruck. He provided real zip around the contest and some good jump at the centre bounce, and he found plenty of the ball as he was running forward. So we were happy with the way he went.”
          All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

            That would be the same Tom Morris who had Tom McCartin never playing again? The little bloke is a waste of space!

            That's why Dawson must play, re-watched JLT2, didn't miss a target with his beautiful left foot, so much better than the rest of the butcher boys! Can take a grab too.

              Buddy firms for round one after strong training session - AFL.com.au

              I hope he doesn't firm too much, especially around the groin area.

                As if anyone connected to the swans would release this kind of info to the opposition.

                  I hope they name ruthless.
                  He's a good player.
                  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.

                    Dogs have a lot of key players missing this week, no excuses if we don't win. Getting nervous now about team selection.

                      I’m not so concerned with who we pick. More about how they play?
                      What year was it we crushed the Pies in round one. I’m hoping for something like that (in our favour)

                        Jude Bolton who is a columnist fir ESPN, has nominated Jordan Dawson as one of the top 5 young players to have a bid impact in the AFL this year. The 4 others include Carlton's number one pick. Big call and I hope he is spot on.

                          Good news, because he has the inside info.

                            That compilation of the 2018 Granny is epic, even though it was from the Eagles perspective.

                              Gallery up from today's training session. Did we finally work out last year if the coloured training shirts meant anything? If so, Florent, Ronke & COR not playing as they were in blue, Dawson will be playing.

                                It possibly meant something when they are doing a contested drill.
