Swans V Lions: Pre Game Discussion

[Captain]

ROK is a midfielder and White's time up forward will be reduced

ROK has been a bit of everything this year. I think he will play forward.

Don't mind seeing Rohan as the sacrificial lamb. I have a lot of time for the young bloke, and I think he represents a big part of our future. But he can just bide his time and keep getting hungry. You know, he went to Perth as an emergency, came back on the midnight "red eye" flight, went down to Canberra, I think on the team bus, and played with the two's on the Sunday. He's doing a hard apprenticeship and it may be the making of him.

... I feel slightly cheated not to be seeing Brownie and Fev play.

Just for this weekend, I prefer you to feel slightly cheated!

I'm intrigued by Vez as emergency. It means either we're at rock bottom in reserves - and Roos wants Meredith to get some pre-finals game time - or Paddy has jumped through a few hoops since Roos' spray a few weeks back and is on the verge.

Maybe they're throwing him a bit of sugar so he's less likely to seek opportunities elsewhere.

I wonder what Longmire thinks of him.

BIG JESSE WHITE TO THE RUCK - that guy can't take a mark or kick a bag ... but has a good leap - will suit the swans this week if he plays in the ruck. Ryan O Keefe - has had an up and down year. But 2 weeks ago when he played on hodgy and kicked 4 goals - probably the best game he had all year hahahah. Pretty darn good job if you play a defensive role on one of the premier midfielders in the comp and kept him to 12 disposals or so and kick 4 goals yourself ....not a familiar role for ROK. Imagine if he went head to head with Hodgy and played on his own terms ..... hodgy would have had 20+ disposals and ryan of keefe would have had the same amount but probably kicked 6-7goals hahaha IMO



RYAN O KEEFE VS JARRAD BRENNAN
KIRK VS BLACK
POWER VS KIERAN JACK

I'm a little disgruntled, if only 'cause after that mad mock jig he did in front of Keneally that one game, I've had a soft spot in my heart for him. But yeah, somebody had to go - and if consensus is Meredith deserved space more, so be it. Hopefully Rohan will earn himself plenty of time in the top 22 in the near future.

Bizarre comment - we are allowed to have more than six players who are "the future". Have you already decided Rohan is a dud?

[maigu_]

he looks like another ED BARLOW on the field ....... slow by foot and hands.

leigh matthews made a comment about Ed Barlow being the next ADAM GOODES in 2008. that was the most ridiculous statement i've heard from anyone. ROHAN = ANOTHER FAILURE
