    For some reason I am just not a Bice fan at all so take what I say with a grain of salt but I think we’re stuffed if we think he can play our leading rebounding defender role. Bloke doesn’t tackle and almost every single one of his kicks are turnovers. Made Blakey look elite by foot. I’ve seen snippets of Bice play well but I genuinely think most of the time he’s a hindrance to the team
    Like Lloyd, he is a Wingman, get him away from Defence

      Id say he is taller than Rampe

        I sure hope we arent handing out nicknames based on GF performances

          Melican and Snell both 194cm

          but don’t stand tall ……. Tend lean forward versus Riak or Edward’s

            Blakey is a unique talent. There's no replacing him. We just need to find a different way of rebounding out of defence. There have been games when Blakey was quiet, but we still rebounded well.

            I know that I have made this comment before, but Snell is definitely an AFL player. In my opinion, a better player than Edwards, but Edwards; size pushes him a bit ahead and got the call up first. McCartin, Edwards and Snell will be our tall defenders next year.

            Bice finished the season strong and hope he can fill a backline role. I feel we have several options to add to our backline that will give us speed and picking power. Some are young, like Kyle and Bowman. But we have other options as well. It's not clear how it will pan out just yet.
            Yes, I was also a bit surprised that Edwards got a call up before Snell, because I thought that Snell's VFL form was generally a bit better. Still, I was very pleased with how Edwards lived up to his potential, especially the way he often spoilt opposition power forwards. Hopefully Snell gets a chance to impress early next season.

              Add a tall alongside Edwards and Tom and they both turn into rebounders as well

              Love to see Edwards use his boot a bit more going long

                my nightmare I thought DGB was going to be a star watched him at Swans most weeks and he looked like a star, never came its been a common trend with high draft picks used on Key Defenders think someone on BigFooty had a list up

                  Me too, Snell could aslo play as a 4th taking Rampes role as well I reckon, but happy if we at least try Edwards, McCartin and Snell

                    In Fairness to Snell, he got injured then as well and that gave Edwards his shot and he never looked back and I hope Snell will do the same with his opportunity - as for Bowman and Kyle I hope they can take the next step, Bice is a wingman who can go to halfback but doesn't really play either really well he's an excellent at VFL level and his games vs Sydney reserves before we drafted him he was a standout, can see why we drafted him.

                      only a sorry
                      Yeah and that 'sorry' was to the 'broader community', not to the Swans. He's proven to be a tosser of the highest order.

                      I'm not happy to see his talent lost to the club but really happy to see the back of him and his churlish spoilt attitude.

                      I think it's obvious that attitude saw the Swans decide to get rid of him at all costs.....hoewever painful that may have seemed not too long ago.

                        This is Snell’s fourth season which is not unusual for a tall player. He has had some injuries but this past season in the VFL he developed some consistency. Like Edwards, he took time.

                          If he turns out as good as Edwards l think we will all be happy

                            I know we have lost Amartey, Blakey and Cunningham. Has anyone been de-listed as yet?
