    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)

    No great loss... except for NicMal... we're missing that run off halfback (assuming we can get the ball past halfback, of course).
    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.

    Then again, I miss Mummy but he's not playing for the rest of this season. So we'd still be facing how to pull a ruck division together.

    Of course the Buddy budget was part of the problem but I think we had some worries about Mummy's durability vs the money he wanted/could get. Mike is only 1/22nd of the reason we aren't Premiers. And Mummy has risen to the GWS challenge so I'd say it's win/win. But I still miss him.

    I think Nic is missing the run off halfback, too, Annie. He's a shadow this season.

    Noone longing for Jesse? Prefer the new inked replacement?

    Yeh definitely, I was thinking with everyone fit though. It would be a line-ball whether or not Dre would be best 22

    In a heart beat. Everritt is fast becoming on of the Blues best players. Not necessarily skill or talent wise but just having a really good all round game. Each week he looks like he wants to play give his best whatever the opposition.
    I would love Mummy (for Pyke) and the Eski (for Shaw) back too. The Spang' would be good to have too. For him I would be comfortable losing Cunningham, push Macca into the forward half and let and Spang' rotate through HB and wing with Rampe, depending on match-ups.
    This would leave a back line of Grundy, Richards, Smith, Laidler, Malceski, Spangher/Rampe. And if Teddy retires Spangher would be an acceptable fill in until the next generation.

    ATM even if Rohan was fit and back in the team for Towers I would still seriously consider using Dre. We, RWO, often lament the quality of the Swans kicking ability, IIRC Dre was/is always a good kick.

    You're not wrong about his kicking, it's brilliant! I'd still take Rohan though, his forward pressure is massive for us.

    Jessie is Eddie McGuire's punishment.
    Glad to see he can still kick a mean behind.

    Wishing we didn't let Shane Biggs go. He is playing very well for the Bulldogs
