Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

The point you overlook is that Roos isn't simply recruiting available people from the Swans. He's trying to lure a player from the Swans academy. The very academy he raved on about as being so important to the
Swans as a pathway and nursery for future SWANS. He also wrote to members and asked us, "to give money to, so we could unearth some home grown future Swans stars".
Do you think any Swans members would be happy to contribute knowing players could be poached by a Melbourne club.
To now try and poach one of these very such players, or at least force the Swans to delist another senior player to accommodate him, is at the very least hypocritical and unethically opportunistic, especially given
the trust that the Swans placed in him...
IMO, it shows he can't be trusted...He's a double talking bull**** artist, and a very good one at that.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
So perhaps we put a longer nose on his statue?
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Aren't we lucky he didn't play 100 games.

Won't miss his commentary and look forward to seeing who his replacement is On The Couch. Interesting about the last 2 encumbents On The Couch. One being embroiled in a drug scandal and the other now allegedly involved in a poaching scandal. When they were both recruited to OTC they were seen as clean skins and poster boys for the game. Will Mike be gutsy enough to challenge the messiah on the issue tonight. Bring back Wallsy I say. I think seeing Mike absolutely dribbles over Leigh Matthews, he is a monty for the gig.

Who will be the first to put the rope around the head on the statue, alah the Bloke from Bagdad?
I think it will be Michael Voss or Luke Darcy to take Roosys spot on the couch! They are young, have strong informed opinions and are both good T.V talent. I don't think Alister Lynch excelled when he filled in for Roos mid season.
Billy Ray Cypress I have not heard you talk about Roosys annual mid season trips to the USA, and the impact of those mid season trips on the avedemy LOL
If Jude goes to Fox and not Channel Bruce, it would not surprise me one bit to see him get the gig.
As a recently retired player, he would bring that perspective to the couch.

Jude needs a bit of work on his speaking style. He's got the face, but is not a natural like Cameron Ling. Some of the Melbourne boys got a lot of practice with multiple appearances on the Footy Show. Goodes is a very eloquent speaker and should have a great post retirement career whatever he does.
Thanks for this post Ernie. This is exactly how I feel. Losing players as part of the normal business of AFL trade has to be accepted - what is so disappointing about this report (if true) is that Roos would be using his personal relationships as the immediate past Academy coach to woo promising young players from the Academy. Earlier in this thread I posted words from the Swans' site which describe the role of the Swans' Academy as I understood it to be. It seems this might not be correct - but if so, as Ernie has effectively pointed out, it is a misunderstanding that Roos strongly fostered and encouraged.
