I agree it was a dismal trade. Considering he was a first round draft pick who was coming into his prime after years of development.
Still I don't think we had a lot of choice. And maybe we felt we owed him, and possibly even the Saints after they took Banners salary off our books.Comment

The adjudication of that rule has been a joke for years. I can remember the Dorks and their dropping it from above their heads, then the fairypuppies, and now it continues. The drop kick one today made me laugh haha."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Can someone explain to me why we recruited L Taylor and Gray. The are both useless. I think we need a new recruiting manager. We are a complete rabble and many dark years ahead.Comment

And some don't say boo when we win but are poised to sink the boots in when we lose. Club not perfect but better to be patient and see what happens when all tjrdr young guys mature. Losing and failing are part of learning for a young team.Comment

That got ugly towards the end. Oh well. As long as we keep trying to build for the future. We were pretty exciting at times, until the Saints took away our corridor options.
In the end, the Saints were slick and deserved that win. They could very well take flag this year.
We're not a rabble as some have suggested. We are missing some key position players. Sinclair is not a good ruckman. That's where it starts. Rampe is playing when he probably shouldn't be. Reid has only just come back. Buddy is out. Heeney. Brand. Joey too.
The upside is that our inexperienced players are getting games and others who would be overlooked (like Fox) are showing that we should continue to play them.Comment

Horse talked in one of his recentish pressers about young players learning in the AFL rather than the NEAFL this year. We are less competitive without Buddy, JPK, Heeney, a ruckman, Hewett but we are getting games into young players and we seem to be in line for a very high draft pick.
Patience is required.Comment

Need to start playing harder or we’ll be the next gold coast or giants when players walk for crackers when they feel like it.

Despite the finish some good signs from us today. Bell had his best game for us. Mccartin too. Rowbottom in the third was huge. And we take a percentage hit and pick 2 looks more and more likely.
Hayward was busy too, like him around the ball
