#AFL Round One Weekly Discussion Thread.

Seems like you could make a pretty handy team with all the Swans we've lost post-Tippett.

Well we have not officially lost Tippett yet as he is still on our rookie list. He seems to be pretty fit still with his swimming so there is still the very remote possibility that he could be Mr. September similar to Clark Keating for Brisbane. I don't expect it but why has he not been officially removed from our list?

Fantasy points leaders in the match were both ex Swans Newman and Nankervis both with 115. Miss them both.

Newman couldn't get a regular game and Nankervis would now be behind Sinclair and Naismith.

By the way, Rance has officially done his ACL and is now listed as out for the season. Tough luck for the Tigers. Probably still a premiership threat though.

Nuh. Without Rance there is no backline.

He has to stay there for salary cap reasons.

Naismith return delayed again after another operation. -- Knee surgery to delay Sydney ruckman’s return - AFL.com.au

I have always wondered about that and have found myself hoping for a fairytale return where he would finally deliver on his massive contract and help us win our next flag.....by starring.

I like to be optimistic.....

Terrible news about Rance, I know he cops a bit of criticism but I thoroughly enjoy watching him play and battle with the best forwards whenever I get a chance.

I wonder if this will open the door for Phil Davis to earn an All-Australian guernsey (if he can stay on the park)? He's been on the cusp for a few seasons now. Obviously I'd prefer a fairy tale and for Reg to take the default Rance AA place.

Rohan-watch tonight.

Collingwood v Geelong. I've optimistically tipped the Cats. I have to say Gary Rohan looks ok in a Geelong jumper and I wish him all the best at his new club and good luck for tonight.

[stevoswan]

Rohan two possessions in the first minute!!! What is going on?

Those are his 2 for the first quarter

Those are his 2 for the first quarter

Exactly what I thought!

I have to say, Ablett is on fire! Good to see.....and as for Kelly, scintillating!

Nothing to suggest we made a mistake with Rohan so far.
Newman on the other hand...

I'm at the game tonight and it's strange seeing Rohan in Geelong colours. He started well but then seemed to get lost.

One thing I noticed is that after every goal they have a 30 second countdown clock on the screen for the runners and trainers to get off the ground.
