    We better play a full strength side against Brisbane this week, to show the AFL that we're not tanking this game. Tanking a pre-season game, is a no-no now.


    Too bad, if any senior players get injured though.

    I "read" on the news bar this morning that a poos & wees player had done his knee on the weekend.

    I think that's 7 season-ending ACL injuries for the PRE-SEASON!!!

    The pre-season is a joke.
    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.

    Do you mean Hawthorn? If so, very funny and added straight to the Benictionary.

    Yes ... my bestie who comes to every game with me is an ex-poos & wees cheersquad member. He's been calling them the poos & wees for as long as I've known him (which is a very, very long time).

    you know its a surprise that there arent more millionaire swans supporters..... after 6 years you would think we would have learnt to BET on the pre-season!
    If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?

    Your wish is Roos' command!!

    The squad for Saturday:

    SYDNEY SWANS
    1 - Barry Hall
    2 - Nick Davis
    3 - Jarrad McVeigh
    4 - Ben Matthews
    5 - Ryan O'Keefe
    6 - Craig Bolton
    7 - Luke Brennan
    11 - Ed Barlow
    14 - Craig Bird
    15 - Kieren Jack
    16 - Darren Jolly
    17 - Tadhg Kennelly
    18 - Jesse White
    19 - Michael O'Loughlin
    20 - Luke Ablett
    21 - Leo Barry
    24 - Jude Bolton
    25 - Ted Richards
    29 - Martin Mattner
    30 - Lewis Roberts-Thomson
    31 - Brett Kirk
    32 - Amon Buchanan
    33 - Jarred Moore
    37 - Adam Goodes
    39 - Heath Grundy
    42 - Paul Bevan

    I think it is reasonable to assume that the starting team against St Kilda will all come from this lot.

    I look at this list and only see 15 or so absolute "lockins" Even if I am optimistic including Mathews and Bevan outside that group, there is still plenty of room for a fringe player who puts in a blinder to make a late claim.

    The Lions have also named a strong team, so I'm looking forward to a good game.

    Only played 25?

    Gee, the AFL better put an investigation into the matter, we could have tanked the game.
