Thread: Sydney Swans best 22, 2015 AFL Premiership Season

  1. #37
    Rohan was starting to show some form as a half back, I wouldn't confuse him by trying him in another position. Despite two shockers he produced the best footy of his career in that position , prelim final anyone ?

    Whatever happens I think Jetta should start in the Ressies and fight his way back into the side.
    We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

    That is just so ridiculous. Jetta was much improved from 2013 and is shaping up to be a well rounded footballer, rather than just a speed machine.

    I really sometimes wonder whether people calling for Jetta's scalp watched any of the home and away season.

    As long as Jetta gets a right royal kick up the bottom (along with about 18 others) for the dross performance on grand final day, I'm happy for him to continue in the top team. Would love a few of the younger midfielders in the ressies to have strong starts to the season, in order to put proper pressure on some of those in the top 22 however.

    I thought he had a great season. As you said he is now so much more than just someone who runs onto kicks into open space.

    Even though Jetta had a good year, the thing that was missing was his running game.
    He didn't have the explosive runs as in the previous seasons. I guess this is why people are not rating his season.

    As for Rohan, he was the highest rated player, according to Champion Data, for the Prelim out of any player in the both games that weekend. His spoiling is underrated. If he is playing off half back, I would expect him to poll pretty highly in the Golden Fist next year.

    How about this:

    FB: Smith Reg Rampe
    HB: McVeigh Richards Rohan
    C: Jetta Kennedy Hannebery
    HF: Jack Franklin Bird
    FF: McGlynn Reid Goodes
    R: Tippett Mitchell Parker
    Int: Pyke Lloyd Cunningham S: Jones
    C'mon Chels!

    Pretty much what I would like to see. I would just like to some how squeeze TomD in there.

And that will be determined by who is available. But during the season, IMO, we should have a rotating squad of players. Where players like X, Jones, Hewett, Robinson, Heeney, Naismith, Nankervis and Towers can get around 3-6 games each based on matchups. If we cant beat the likes of Saints, Melbourne, Bulldogs, etc with 2 or 3 of these players in our team then our future is not looking too bright. Everyone boasts about our depth. We need to get games into these players soon, as they are the future of our club. The trade ban that has been imposed on us has only reinforced this. I know a lot of people don't agree with this, but just my opinion.
    I totally agree with you but with me it has never been about resting players it is about who have we got that matches or has a special ability to beat his opponent. Tailor your squad for match ups and a best mix against different sides. This is what Hawks did last year and by the finals the younger players like Langford were cherry ripe to go if they had to.

    Not after his scalp, just think he has something to prove after the GF with so many other deserving players knocking on the door. Good players respond to a challenge, let him respond.

    Everyone has something to prove after the GF. Don't know why you're singling out Jetta. Reid and Shaw had much worse seasons overall.
