Ritchie Cunningham finally gets called at 93.

Okay now I'm really confused.

And Lynch is confirmed. Guess that means Potter and Thompson have missed out.

Harry Cunningham on board - what can anyone tell us about him?

[Bas]

So are the Swans last picks zone selections?. I was wondering why they just didn't name them earlier when they passed on selections.

Cunningham's selection is so intriguing to me, I wish we could find out more. What did we see in him that GWS didn't? We must have really rated him to select him over guys who have been training with the Academy all year long.

Ugg, if you're confused, what chance do any of us have of knowing??

Warrandyte FC - Home of the Bloods

I see that Warrandyte (the original club of Biggs) are known as the Bloods. So he should feel right at home.

Shane Biggs, 183cm, 76kg, Forward/Midfield, Warrandyte

Classy young goal kicking midfielder, Biggs comes to Bendigo with a keen eye for goal having shown his ability in front of goal on numerous occasions including a 6 goal bag against Chirnside Park.

He is described as a pacy, outside wingman with good skills, so he fits the bill of the type of player we are a bit short on. The challenge for Potter and Thompson is that neither is overly pacy and they are more inside ball-winners, so would be at the end of a long queue.

Sounds like Cunningham is pretty light still, so probably a longish term prospect.

So we are taking on half the number of rookies allowed?
Are we penny pinching?
And what is GWS' story, was Scully senior unable to ID any talent?

I'm sure financial considerations came into it, but I suspect the bigger problem is managing the reserves' team list with the player restrictions in place. We haven't had a big rookie list since the halcyon days of 2005-06 when there were no restrictions in place.
