I'm glad you posted this. I strongly agree. Wicks is anything but a 'deer in the headlights'. He's been the most impressive surprise package of the...

Great comment about Fox versus Leaping Leo! So true. Ludwig also made this important point about Fox's lack of height. We desperately need a tall,...

I think when it comes to Aliir, I'd back the club, who barely uttered a word when he said he wanted to go. Sure, Aliir will have some good games but...

Strongly disagree with most of what you have written here. Wicks is involved in many Swans goals, you dont see it until the replays and you notice...

Barry was a freak in the way he was able to play on forwards so much bigger than he was. But he also played in an era where defenders were allowed...

Too short. I don't think he's the next Leo Barry. Fox can play tall, but not tall enough to cover the likes of Joe Daniher and Ben King. There are so...

Dawson has as the say in sport "plenty of runway" and he will continue to evolve in several roles on the field I suspect he will drift into...

Why are we discounting Fox as a KPD? Thought he looked the goods as Rampe's replacement down there last year

Cut off date for the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period is today. Looks like the Swans might save our one spot for the mid season draft.

At the time of the Aliir trade I posted something like: AA @ PA = AA Might come true. Brand should be ready to play soon. He's not on the...

Double Post

I've had many posts now advocating for Mills to the midfield and Dawson to the forward line. Part of my reason was that we had a number of good...

A friend of mine was watching the Port Power game on the weekend and said to me that he could not believe that we traded Aliir. He said Aliir took...

Rayner had been slated for more on ball time with Neale, Zorko and Lyon drifting forward. What we need to stop are the quick, repeat inside 50...

If Melican is on a prodigious goal scorer, eg Tom Hawkins, the coaches would be delighted to them outside 50. If he's on a mediocre third tall then I...

Yes, this is a great observation. I sit on the wing (O'Reilly Stand, of course), and always thought that Melican plays very much in the Mattner...

Brisbane just lost Rayner, who's probably their toughest match up. They will free up Rampe to play on someone a bit taller like Hipwood. Mccartin a...

Lions will be fielding 3 200cm mobile forwards in R1. We don't have much choice but to play Melican, given Gould still seems out of favour and Brand...

That's a neat observation. Surely, assuming you're right, that's down to the coaching - not Melican?

Sitting on the flank, I've spent a lot of time watching Melican. He usually protects the inside 50 by letting his opponent get in front of him and...

Interview on SEN with Paddy McCartin. Seems to be in good spirits and apparently in great shape. I get the feeling we have a steal. Sent from my...

To be fair to Mills, this is a coaching mistake. Our centre bounce mix should never include more than two of Kennedy, Mills and Parker at once....

It's hard to admit, but I agree with this. Definite changing of the guard needed.

While it’s certainly true that Melican did not have a great game, it’s worth remembering that the rules have been engineered to assist teams going...

I don't think he's wasted in defence. He's an elite defender. I suspect he'll find his way back there soon. We have other options in the middle.

What about Kaiden Brand? He looked pretty solid in defence in his 2 games last year before he got injured. I would like to see him in there in...

Agree our forward line was too short for the delivery, but I'm not convinced it was adding McDonald that changed things around so much as a change in...

Yes, his comment about not knowing the weather in Brisbane in two weeks time stood out as odd.

Another great contribution, Rod.
