Just as well we have 1-2 weeks to get players right:D

That's awful news for Sleeves. But he has played a valuable part in our premiership winning year!

[Reggi]

Interesting - going to be interesting as they come closer to naming the sides and players need to prove their fitness.

Unfortunately their will be somde sad stories come from this.

[Bron]

Asked Saddo if he'd be in the GF, he said a maybe, but I didn't really think so. Happy to be proven wrong.

On a lighter side..thats funny. :D

hmm not a good looking list. Are we going to Seymour Brad in the near future? (bad i know)

[NMWBloods]

Unfortunately I suspect Seymour might choose to retire at the end of the season. Pity as I like him in the backline - adds some grunt.

[swan_song]

I hope that sleeves doesn't retire... he does add something in the backline...a bit of grunt as said earlier on...but he must do whatever his body is trelling him...
I'd like it to be telling him to have a rest, and try the preseason then decide...that is if he's still on the list!

I dont get the big fuss of Roosy getting injured. Its not like he cant coach any more.

It's the fact that a coach has to make his way from the coaching box to the field to talk the players which is of the biggest concern.

If he doesn't leave early to take in consideration the extra time it will take to go down to the field he could lose valuable minutes giving the players their plays, etc.

Seymour has just turned 27, I hardly think he'll hang up the boots just because of his injuries. When on song he is an important part of the Swans backline.

Even if the Swans do think his time is up I have no doubt that we could gain some minimal compensation (3rd round pick or straight player swap) for him in a trade.

I doubt that he is just going to hang up the boots and turn his back on $200k a year.
