That's a VERY young team. I guess it's official, we have a rebuild. Still some outstanding footballers in there, but we'll struggle with any sort of injury run. The trade ban has well and truly stuffed us.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
I'd think that will definitely be the case and I'd think we'd be looking at using our first round draft pick this year in getting the best defender available at that stage and possibly trading our second round pick for an established player or possibly getting a free agent. Of course if Tom Mitchell goes to the trade table than that opens up a whole new level of possibilities.
Re our fringies, I'm delighted to see Papley and George get their chances but I believe we need another couple to really stand up. Surely this season is put up or get out for AA, X, Harry and Toby? Abe Davis, Rose and Naismith are the most liklely for me. Tyrone and Dawson look way off and I fear Hiscox just lacks the footskills to play at AFL level.

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)
Is there an after match function after tonight's game?
