    Hopefully the weather stays dry for him. I am finding people calling him Rooster, very amusing
    I agree (Heck, I'd take out an ad in the Herald Sun for my first game haha), but he isn't getting sactioned, he is just getting the message that the Club will control communications. I am told that the plan was to keep the final side a mystery as long as possible.

    Sorry Reggi, Roos doesn't seem too upset by it all. Seems the "sanction" is tongue in cheek.

    What Roos might say to Red is try not to post team selections in the future just in case we need to keep the opposition guessing.

    Roos is yet to have a word with Rohan, but despite usually having a shroud of secrecy around team selections, he wasn't too concerned Rohan's inclusion came out early

    Swans coach Paul Roos is a fair man. Every player he says, gets one chance - a mulligan if you like - and Gary Rohan has now used his.

    Diesel's first game for the Swans was a lazy 37 touches, 2 goals and 3 Brownlow votes.
    Wow, I'm excited too dawson - maybe not that much but I think this bloke is "special"

    Hopefully being at Geelong he might feel more comfortable but regardless IMHO he is the most exciting recruit we've had for a long time.

    BTW, the last bloke we had from Cobden was pretty good - John Rantall.

    They were before! Way before. That was Round 1, 1986.
    Both were well gone by the time Plugger arrived. The only person left from that era was Mark Bayes.

    Were they before or after Plugger!

    As far as I can recall, when a debutant is chosen, they often announce it a day or two earlier to hype it up a bit more don't they? I guess in this case it was all a bit clouded due to the injuries and whether a few guys would be able to get up or not.
