"They've been terrific to the club and you give them first choice next year"

They pick themselves?

Roos described his players as "very honest", but conceded they might have become tired.

Roos said he would stick to the hard-edged, grinding game style that has worked so well for Sydney over the last two seasons.

Isn't that an inconsistent message? Keep the same old players, who are already tired and will be three years older than when we won the flag, and maintain the same tiring game plan and team?

"A lot of our list is reasonably young"

Is it?

He added Sydney would continue their successful philosophy of recruiting established players from other clubs.

"One thing we've done very, very well and it's something ever since I've got there, is an ability to take players from other clubs and make them into very, very good players.

"Some of them have already been good players at other clubs ... it's certainly been a tried and true formula for us."

Sydney will not trade away their first-round draft pick

So who are all these players we've turned into very good players and how are we going to get more of them without using a first-round pick?

Paul Roos has either lost the plot or he is still drunk.

This is what Mike Sheahan has to say today in the Herald Sun

Roos' post-match reflections indicated the coach will remain loyal to the men who have served him so bravely and productively.

That's noble and understandable, but it's only going to delay the start of the next premiership campaign.

Yep - Sheahan is spot on. Only the blind Swans supporters can't see that.

Did Peter Everitt arrive a year too late?

Yes!
