Swans' Pre-season 2019

I'll have to start working on the 2020 script now.

Hopefully that script includes us being the reigning premiers 😊.

Let's just write in back-to-back as well. 😃

Good to see that Longmire has learnt the script I sent him last year. He's got all the under 24 stats, Mills to the midfield, etc, etc. It's just like reading my old posts. I'll have to start working on the 2020 script now.

Ludwig here on RWO we need proof that you aren't really John Longmire.

Maybe we should just have a poll.

Yay or Neigh?)

The injury list published today on afl.com.au - The full AFL injury list: pre-season update - AFL.com.au - makes for depressing reading.

None of Franklin, Menzel, and Smith are especially likely to start round 1 and Naismith surely won't (just when tap ruckmen are coming back into vogue). Worse, Ling is still injured "indefinitely".

Yes not a great start to the season to be down so many players at the start of the season. It does create opportunities for others to step up to but when its several of your main forwards then it's a concern for sure!

Couldn't agree more, Rampe is wasted playing as a key position defender (even though he does an excellent job)

I'd hope his time spent playing and trading to play on key forwards, doesn't effect his ability to play on mids/smells - it seemed to effect Leo Barry's ability in that regard.

and James Rose finally grows up and gets his finger out!

I missed this could you include the source please?

Too much talent to be a failure, hopefully he really is putting everything into making it, would be a handy addition up forward.

I think he might be better down back, more likely to stay involved than on "starvation corner" up forward.

Redback cocktail party function is tonight.
My sponsor child for the year is Nick Blakey. Poor kid... what an induction to the club!!!
Hopefully I'll be able to put up some shots tomorrow (although I may need assistance).

It was nice to see Buddy in a training photo actually training 😊.

It didn't happen to have the tag #TBT associated with it, did it?

I actually don't think that injury list is a disaster.

Buddy - not ideal but we play OK when he's not there as we spread our goal kickers more
Menzel - just get him right
Smith - I don't think he's a key player for us anymore and think he's replaceable anyway
Naismith - get a few games into Cameron
Ling - hasn't even debuted anyway (why did we extend his contract already? This has Daniel O'Keefe vibe!)
