    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

      Jimmy Bartel thinks Reid needs to play back next year

      “I don’t think he can play forward anymore”: Bartel calls for positional switch for Swans veteran

      Largely because (1) there’s no spot for him forward (2) we need help down back

        I think Bartell forgets that we tried this strategy when Grundy was injured. Same was OK for 2 out of the 4 or 5 weeks he played there. Then in his third game back he had a bag kicked on him. The runner was going out constantly asking him to tighten up. There was no Ted, retired, no Rampe, injured. There was a patchwork backline that just wasn't working. Sam just simply does not do enough of the defensive work a back needs to do. He is great as an extra but when he has to man up he has been found out.

          The article says the Swans are the ones taking the most interest in him (according to Corey), not that we are the only club taking a lot of interest in him. Not quite the same thing.

            Matthew Lings highlights reel looked better than Corey ....... and Corey and Lingys high light reels look better than Chad's

            What do we do with this information given how good Chad has turned out already from back of the pack on draft day?

            2min videos just confuse me even more ????

              We do nothing. We wait for the recruiting staff to do it.

                The highlight reel for Chad was pretty incredible. It was almost exclusively defensive plays and 1%ers. Which you rarely see from prospects reels. There was nothing glamorous, but a clear hunger and competitiveness.

                  But some may feel you simply don’t want to know about anything that is at odds with your anti James campaign.
                  What is there to know ? a nobody from the murdoch rag will not change my mind so not worth putting money into his pocket as you say

                    I'd previously posted on here I was wary re Goater as the snippets I'd seen suggest his style resembled Elliott Yeo but his kicking resembled Andrew Dunkley (though we love Dunks).

                    This 'highlight' reel I came across the other day suggests I was being generous re the kicking. Yikes!

                      I just liked the look of his highlights package.....didn't notice too many bad disposals but if those knocks on him are true, yes that could certainly change things.

                        Without wanting to send us all down a rave wormhole, are you saying that the Goat kicks like a mule?

                          Wow, that's not the package I saw but your right, his disposal was awful. I think I've changed my mind.

                            I have a hunch we will end up with Corey Warner. If so, would we be drafting him with pick 16, or would we take our chances and hope he's still there at pick 31?

                              Pick 39. Same as Chad. We shouldn't play favourites.

                                Highlight reels are that - the highlights, and it is limited by how much video there is available of the matches that clearly show it was that player at a good enough angle/distance to include it.

                                As the Geelong coach said, if you just look at the five minute highlights of Gary Rohan, you would think he was the best player in the country!
