    I can’t see any talent there- he kicked a nice goal but he misses many. Runs around, mainly where the ball isn’t. People say he applies forward pressure and thus gives other forwards opportunities. Didn’t see any of this in our first 3 games and certainly was well and truly missing against the Fairypups. And his silly moustache is so annoying. Will never make it here- lets send him to the Suns!
    Total BS.

        Yes I think mo's and mullets have to go. They weren't a good look back in day. And now, as the other Mo once sung, "That joke isn't
        funny anymore".

          Any word yet on the scans on Hickey's knee? I'm hoping that it will not be season-ending. I was at the game on Thursday night and amongst the big Swans contingent behind the goals. A collective groan went up when they showed Hickey being substituted on the large screen.

            Why have people let yet another thread be hijacked by you know who?

            What about we close the book on Thursday night's match, which was an ok loss to have on the 6 day backup from the Buddy1000 hangover, and focus on getting back on track for Nth next Saturday.

              Ditto. They were still reliving that goal for the whole first half. Focus on North now.

                Paps and Juzzy back if fit, together with Ladhams. Hickey out with knee; drop Wicks but don’t know who the third would be. Maybe Stephens? Though he would be a bit stiff. Bit of a headache for Horse and co!

                  Can we have a James Rowbottom thread so the rest of us don’t have endure sifting through ever thread trying to identify non JR info.
                  Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                    Every thread is a James Rowbottom thread.

                    What we should start is an Everything Except James Rowbottom thread. We need sanctuary.

                        Larkey will get off the chain if the McCartin bros don 't pull their fingers out . Like them both but they do silly things and play in a position where silly things often lead to goals .
                        I know North beat us in the 1996 GF, but other than that, what did they do to us? I'm glad my memory is not so good, because I've forgotten. At least you're not worried about any of them. And why should you be? I'm sure all the '96 scum has been washed away by now. I think they've completely overhauled their playing list since then, so there shouldn't be any nasty reminders of those awful times, whatever they were.

                        And as for those naughty McCartin brothers, where have their sticky fingers been wandering? A good spanking should sort them out. Anyway, if they had been doing silly things I think I would have noticed, because I would have been laughing during the game.
                        But I definitely wasn't laughing. I'm sure of that.

                              I've moved all the stuff that started as the repetitive pile on to James (out of proportion to the actual match). This includes the comparisons with past players, also not relevant to this thread.

                              For those who want to continue the discussion in that thread, please bear in mind he is a young, developing player - at the club we all (presumably) support - and show some respect in your comments.

                                Thanks Liz. Once, this round is complete, I intend on starting a pre-match thread for the game against North. With the injury to hickey, the relatively poor performances across the board in this game, the good performance of McDonald and a few other in the VFL, and the possible return of Paps & McInerney should provide for some interesting discussion. Last week's pre-match thread included some outstanding analysis and provided some reason why this site is so good.
