    Were there any Longmires playing for the Swans? I know he has two boys reasonable close in age but I'm not sure exactly how old they were. One went to primary school with the son of a friend of mine, which I think would put him at U16 level this year. But I don't know if he is the older or younger of the two.

    Right age group but not selected for either game yet. Pretty skinny and small for his age group and reasonable player but probably not considered in the top bracket of his group.

    Swans did play one underager in the game who more than held his own. Will be someone to watch for the longer term - Mitch Kuningiskis.

    Anyone have any feedback on how the academy kids did in the allies trials?

    It's strange that Longmire's sons would be small for their age group given that he made his AFL debut at age 17 and was already tall and strongly built at that age.

    Mueller could be our Trump card.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    And I'm wondering if Puncher would be better off boxing?
    And now that I think of it, Endemann & Last would be an appropriate name for a funeral home.
    And I also do feel a bit sorry, for anyone named Ball who takes up Aussie Rules. I mean, the crowd screams, "ball!" and they're probably thinking, 'what the hell have I done now?'.

    There may be an inquiry into his performance if he doesn't go well.

    Is there a chance that the young colt will drafted as an academy player. This would keep Horse at the club and piss off Eddie big time.
