Stuff this , Swans for the flag , I’m calling it! It reeks of 2012, young team , a discarded forward whiz recruited by the swans ( Menzel = Morton)...

I agree with you. I did say "hope we'll be shouting 'Go Bloods!' a little later in September next year", rather than "I'm sure we will be". I think...

I don't know if the effort put in by the boys this year will net more success. It may but then again it may not. This all depends on whether we are...

The Swans website says: The Swans hold picks 26, 33, 38, 39, 40 and 84 ahead of the AFL Draft, which implies a current list size of 34, which further...

No matter who be plays with Let's hope he's not an arsehole like green.

An interesting starting point for our later draft picks might be those who did not make Cal Twomey's top 30. Here are a few to consider: Ely...

Completely agree.

Can't read the article as you have to subscribe to News Corp and I'm not willing to give Murdoch even one dollar of my money. s there a similar...

Obviously the players have to consent. But conceivably they could be in breach of contact if they refused to undertake treatment as reasonably...

Spot on. As I've posted ad nauseum: embarrassment of a national competition, to be ridiculed for the next forty years. Don't be surprised if another...

Lots of talk about who might be available. I don't follow junior footy so I have no idea of who can do what, but I would like to see is (in no...

I presume the club pays for everything and the doctors give advice. I can’t imagine it’s legal, or a doctor would take part in, coercive surgery.

As is implied in your post, bloodspirit, I wouldn't like Menzel guaranteed a spot, and would want him to have to earn it. But other things being...

My favourite is the argument that the MCG is the only stadium "big enough" to hold the GF (for 40 years). You only have to look at the list of...

Swans primed for Draft - sydneyswans.com.au It's getting closer. I'm really excited and impatient to see who we draft. I reckon at least one and...

Neat post, CTS. Do you carry all that data at your finger tips?!

I'm not so quick to agree that we are over-reliant on Buddy. This season we were, because Reid was injured and McCartin so young. But this was not...

They are pretty fair points. Will possibly be a huge regret if the structure of the competition changes over that period. In 1978 (40 years ago)...

Power rankings always look different to likely draft order. McFadyen is one that I've seen all over the place in Phantom's, Brisbane no doubt hoping...

I fully agree it’s not just ground dimensions. It’s one part. As I pointed out in another post in regards to crowd make up the GF would always...

I agree with almost all of this. I'm not worried about the forward line being too tall with McCartin, but that he needs to add greater strength...

I'd like to think so but I have the impression that the club has a lot of say in these things. That may be partly because the clubs are paying for...

Surely it must always be the players decision

It's mind boggling that the AFL signed a 40 year deal to play the GF at the MCG in the first place. 40 years ! Was there a competing offer from the...

You make very good points here in relation to ground dimensions, but home ground advantage is also about atmosphere and psychology. For example, the...

This issue could have been fixed in the contract negotiations as the biggest difference between the stadiums is the dimensions. The games...

Chris Doerre aka Knightmare has updated his draft rankings (not phantom draft): AFL Draft Chris Doerre Knightmare Power Rankings Caldwell...

I pointed this out on here when the NGA’s were first introduced. Every single player that will be taken by a Victorian club had a pathway and was...

Maybe ask a Richmond or Hawthorn fan how they'd feel about the Swans playing 14 to 16 home & away games a year at the SCG, a few more at Spotless...

I don't know exactly how it works but surely players have some say in the medical treatment they receive? It may be that Buddy preferred to try and...
