Swans sign new ruckman

[Doctor]

Yeah let's not get too excited. Realistically he's got a less than even chance of making it to the first team. Having said that, good on the club for taking a punt on him.

[Old Royboy]

Somebody on big footy nailed his nickname - Caravan. I like it.

[swantastic]

I wouldn't be counting my chickens just yet,lets just see how he goes in the magoo's first.It sounds like people think he's the next D.Cox,well only time will tell. He did well to keep it a secret up until now but good luck to him.

[Glenn]

Smart move. A big (young) man and he's already played more consecutive games than the Big Donk

Interesting move by Sydney, obviously has the height now to see how he develops.

[Guzzitza]

Well this is more interesting than the rest of this years' signings.

[Ludwig]

The signings of Murphy and Orreal show that the Swans are one of the more imaginative clubs in searching out young talent. Who knows what will come of these 2, but it does speak well for the back office, and perhaps Stuey Maxfield personally.

A 205cm Brisbane 18-year-old who has played just three games of AFL football has been signed by the Sydney Swans...

Hm, very interesting. I don't know this guy. Is he another Jessy White?

But when everyone's screaming for Ruckmen.... Surely we could of got something for him?

Is the Inanimate Carbon Rod that the pois got for J. Cloke still available? If so, I'm interested...

[573v30]

Sounds like a good prospect, I hope he can forge a great career with the Swans.

[dimelb]

Good news - and the other thing I really like about it is that we obviously have scouts operating all over, and are prepared to take a punt on a decent prospect.

I thought you were a teenage girl !

Looks can be deceiving

No mate, just middle aged mancans

[Layby]

I visited once and from what I saw, a 93 page thread on "Oh my, guess who lives with who?" does not surprise me one bit.

You've obviously never read Bigfooty. We have a 93 page thread called the "roomies" all about LRT, Bevo and Auskick living together.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Mmm, here we have a kid who has NEVER played the game, who should he live with to learn the finer points of what it's all about, learn some silky skills and develop his decision making? I know, let's put him with LRT and Bevo !!!"

And you're right, I've never bothered reading BigFooty.
