    You no doubt have your reasons, I have mine. Big deal.

    Not sure how Ling & Correy were in the team, very lucky I reckon. Add Egan to that list as well.

    Reiwoldt was very unlucky and should have at least got a spot on the bench.

    They can put the whole of Geelong into the team for all I care.
    Our guys can do with the rest. We've had a pretty full two years.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    My sentiments exactly. Who cares. Just means we have to work harder next year. More players working harder means more wins for the Swans.

    Couldn't agree more. I'll be there on Friday night, hoping Collingwood win.

    What about Egan and Steve Johnson? They've hardly been good players in other seasons.

    The All-Australian side is a joke and always will be a joke.

    The side is a joke!!!

    Only four (Hardwick, Fletcher, Hird, Lloyd) made it in the 2000 AA lineup and 5 Blues made it into the 1995 AA lineup. Having 9 Cats there is an absolute joke, but I suppose they want a Victorian team to win the flag, a Vic to win the Brownlow and Vics to be heavily represented in the All-Australian.
