    Love the optimism of "if" not "when".

    Word from out Ungarie way is that Mr Fixter may well be hanging up the boots because he's sick of being injured. Just stopping playing altogether. but that's just a rumour, albeit from a good source.

    Smoky Davis is similar in build and style to a young Rhys-Jones (except for the pointlessly misdirected aggression) he's tall can take a mark and when he gets the ball he seems to have plently of time to dispose of it (he's either deceptively quick and/or completely panic free).

    Saddington was unable to play as a KPP here, and I doubt that'll change in Victoria. He was best suited to playing as a tall flanker or wing and Goodes and Dempster were both better at it than he was.

    It'll be interesting to see what North make of Powell, he had a real love of the spekky when he arrived but it had pretty much disappeared from his game this year.
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    Sad to see the kid go he never really got a red hot crack,because there was never a short term opportunity. I think he's got a lot of skill and a huge heart. I'd love to see him go on to great things!

    Oh good! I won't have to put up with a certain "2 year old" yelling out "Kapowell powell" everytime he gets the ball.

    All he wants is to try and play footy. He owes it to himself to do what he can to make it.
    I wish him the best of luck.

    Don't we have four picks - 52, 55, 61, 67?

    Is there thought we may use them all or save the fourth one for the PSD, where Lappin, Montgomery, Woewodin or Camporeale might be available.

    Or do what everyone here believes and just promote from within?

    How many bandwagons can a person be on?

    And this from someone who only became a Swans member in round 7 of the season we won our first premiership in 72 years!

    I'm not accusing anyone of bandwagonerism or anything, but still it's a remarkable coincidence that we won 16 out of 20 games after that

    Edit - Wow, did I just invent a new word?

    speaking of making words up, did you know that the major dictionaries throw in one or two "made up" words to catch their competitors plagiarising?

    This is my first non BS statement on RWO
