    A call from Roos to Brisbane would get the job done anyway. I believe Dylan played as a toppie for the 2's, only the one game I think, but I've been wrong b4

    No Dylan has never played as a topup, it would have been noteworthy news at the time equivalent to the fanfare that Brandon Jack got when he played as a topup.

    Pretty impressed with Swans Academy numbers in the U16s Rams squad. Should have done this 15 years ago

    Looks likely we will nominate one this year

    The Academy is looking to be doing a great job that will eventually flow through to the Swans. I think this years draft will be our first chance to select players, as it will be for GWS, Gold Coast and Brisbane.

    Please support any fundraising initiative for the Academy.

    Technically we were able to last year too, and indeed, the club nominated a handful of players by the May deadline, but chose to nominate none to put on the list come trade week. (Lynch, as an ex-scholarship player, wasn't subject to the bidding process.)

    Speaking of which, has anyone read anything about who they've put on the consideration list for this year? I thought the deadline was late May but maybe it is a little later than that. You'd have thunk that Jack, at very least, would be put on that list, and probably a few others too. (Again, as I understand the rules, Wray and Robinson are exemption from this pre-nomination process.)

    Imagine if it does start to flow through to the Swans.

    The scenario playing in my head goes like this
    1) Then Swans nominate half a dozen kids . . . .
    2) Other clubs big for several of them but
    3) We still get all of them, and
    4) Choice #96 turns out to be the next Chris Jud or whomever.

    I can almost hear the screams of indignation (led of course by Everywhere Eddie) from the Victorian clubs.
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    I am pretty sue the Pies have their own academy so they will potentially be doing the same.

    Well, cousen Billy Bob came running out to the milken shed to give me the good news.

    He said "Billy Ray, they have announced the Under 16's Ram Squad".

    Hot diggity it's like Christmas in Australia, there's a Carroll and a Roos, there's a Bottin-Noonin and a boy from the Central Coast who goes to school near Wyoming - Josh Barty.

    I just love a place that reminds me of home.

    Well he probably would have played for the Swans if he could. She'll now become an honourary Australian.

    Perhaps they could produce a singin, actin and mullet wearin boy as a future Swans. Oh..........................................I just remembered we have Warwick.
