'Delicious' is a fun word to say
I would rather have Logan McDonald and Chad Warner
Only if you consider VanRoyans 9 goals better than Armatey’s 12 goals, not sure where you are coming from on this one
I definitely do and he has a way bigger upside than Amarty in my opinion - no doubt his 12 goals have kept him in the side - but he provides very little else to the side (clearly the match committee believe he is doing enough )
Give Konstanty a break, he is only commencing his second season against Wicks who’s been around for 6 years. That is not a fair comparison under any circumstances. Furthermore Wicks came through the academy system and it is well acknowledged within the AFL that the academy players are more advanced than those that come through the under 19 systems in terms of coaching and preparedness.
There seems to be a misconception by some on this site that any first round pick should be an automatic champion or the recruiting team have failed.
The reality is your chances improve dramatically if you are in the top ten, and there is always one or two failures in that group.
From memory last year’s draft the first round was still going in the middle twenties because of all the academy, father son, compensation picks
As others have suggested, probably reflects where they are in their careers and in the system. Wicks has been on the list several years, Kostanty just in his second year, after a fairly interrupted campaign last year where he missed much of the year. Obviously is seen as not far off seniors, given he has been an emergency this season, and has put together some good form in reserves.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Agree. He's in the boarding house cup of tea category right now: Big and weak.
Yeah, it's interesting indeed....he was touted as Papley mk II when we drafted him.
Just a reminder BRS328....reply 'with quote'.
I always stuff threads up with links from the SMH but gee Ollie’s quotes are impressive in the article today on his new contract.
Told his manager he didn’t he want to hear about other offers; that his mental health and welfare were too important to chase a few extra dollars; and his desire for a flag.
Like Errol and Rowie, it’s pretty clear we’ve got a great group determined to stick together and willing to leave some money on the table in pursuit of a flag they believe is in reach over the next few years.

I'm a fan of KB as well but the one that fries my noodle is Serong, super talented, highly rated and a lifelong Swans supporter. Not taking him was about as unexpected as Trump becoming president. Still don't get it

We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
Obviously the recruiting staff felt Dyl had more upside. They got it wrong. Every club does it at some stage. Ask the 15 other clubs that passed on Goodesy.
To be fair to Amartey, he did kick 4 goals from those 6 possessions against the Gold Coast.
