    I'm not sure why the 'experienced general' love for McVeigh doesn't extend to Jack. He is as wise and experienced.

        Was a great player. While McVeigh's body stood up, he still influenced the game. Kieren just makes up the numbers now sadly.

          Exactly . McVeigh if fit is in our best 22, has never looked lost out there and still found the ball easily and used it efficiently. Jack not so much , despite an occasional good moment has been largely invisible in the games he has played this year ( and last year too mostly). Plus he is less of on field leader in the sense that I don’t think he has a great footy brain like Macca does.

            Agree. His demise has hurt us in the sense that I reckon the club thought that they would get a few more high class years out of him. Injuries took their toll unfortunately. Hard to see him staying on the list.

              Nice piece went up this afternoon on the Swans website interviewing Bell about his journey from soccer to the academy to debut. Good vibes about him, hope he can make it.

                Also really nice to hear Heeney speak so enthusiastically about Bell in his interview.

                    Arctic conditions here, very cold, strong winds, driving showers and rain, Saturday won't be nice, not sure I've got enough warm clothes to cope!

                    Will make for an ugly but interesting game played below the knees a fair bit I'd suggest.

                      Right on, sadly. He was given every chance this year.

                        Jack and McVeigh were always very different types of on-field leader. Jack led by example, and one might hypothesize that as his physical powers have waned then perhaps so too have his on-field leadership capabilities because they were so dependent upon actions. If that is the case, the they may also limit his effectiveness as a coach.

                        McVeigh on the other hand has always been a do-what-I-say-not-what-I-do type on-field leader, probably because Captain Gumby has always been a tackle-shy outside runner.
                        That the club and his team mates respect his leadership, despite this limitation, speaks volumes of his other leadership attributes, which may well help him to become an effective coach.

                          Not a physically that strong, but hardly tackle shy I would have thought. Can remember him winning a number of holding the ball decisions

                            I think poor conditions will make us a real chance tomorrow if they do happen. We haven't been too far off in recent weeks against good teams - and I don't rate either Adelaide team this year.
                            "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

                                I'm not sure if the conditions will help us especially if we keep handballing in wet weather. Hopefully we adapt to the conditions.
