Rd 2 vs Geelong Cats @ SCG - Pre-Game Thread

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Buddy has always been an enormous attention grabber, both on and off the field, he can also (at no fault of his own) become an all predictable vector for many Swans attacks.

But this count down to 1,000 is taking it to a new level. I really hope he gets there soon, so everyone (players and fans) can celebrate the event, then perhaps move on.

Dwayne Rusell must be dreading it, he'll need to find something else to fill 25% of his air time.



could not fill 20

Actually, they primarily want our data and contact information for marketing purposes.

Agreed. I am sure that Horse is not sitting there reading what selection ideas TheBloods, Ludwig, Bangalore, myself or any of us come up with. Why should they? Its a marketing exercise - pure and simple.

Mostly true, but not completely true.

Mostly true, but not completely true.

Your views are the exception of course. Particularly rucking.

Beautiful weather at the ground.

JPK warming up with the midfield on the ground.

Lizard is just killing it the last two weeks.

Wow he has found his groove shifting between the backs and on the wing

[Bangalore Swans]

Anyway we can move on , if you think he was in our best last week then we will never agree on this one . I get too passionate as i dont like our proven warriors being written off for unproven or over rated young players . Even in the other topic , people talking about how they would let Lloyd go . Wtf ? First thing any of us should be saying about any of the blokes who have served us over YEARS is get the deal done to keep him ! Too easily swayed by young upstarts who dont always amount to much . Bothers me , sorry if i was harsh .

Young guys turning the corner is the key for successful clubs. A young player came to the Swans in late 2009 with under 10 AFL games and a famous football name. How could the Swans start giving this young player Brett Kirks midfield time? Why would they want to replace Brett Kirk. That situation turned out well.

In 2014, why are the Swans playing this young midfielder called Parker in the midfield instead of ROK? Parker was the 2012 GF medical sub while ROK nailed 15 tackles and was the Norm Smith medalist.

Why draft Ollie Florent in late 2016 and start giving him some of K.Jacks midfield time.

Clubs evolve and battens get passed on.

In all those cases the batton was passed on to someone who could play

Yet again, the god complex re-emerges, and another left jab to go with it. Why don't we just install you as coach and we will win every flag......

What has impressed me most so far this year is how good his defensive work has been too. Improving rapidly one on one defensively, to go with his ability to crack open the game going forward. Still reckon he has a bit of leo barry about him - you never quite know what your going to get out of it, but his willingness to take the game on and open it up is a huge advantage - and he generally uses the ball well.

No god complex , they are facts , im not taking any credit for them . All those BS named could play , even Florent .

They are not facts - they are still opinions. They are still subjective.

Ha ha ok . So Joey and Florent cant play then , that would be an opinion worth having ? Cmon , stop looking for an argument . You know well they can play and to say otherwise is rubbish , there was nothing wrong with what i said
