Given what Barry hall did to us when he went to the dogs - not sure the 2012 version could handle Barry and Micky O and Goodes and ROK at their best

Who would we actually have to play on Goodes?
One thing we lack in 2012 is a top level tagger. Bird usually gets the job, but is a bit slow. Other than that Jack or mcVeigh, but they arent in the class of Kirk or Matthews as shut-downers.
Spot on.
In 2005 we had Mathews, Bevan, Kirk, Crouch, Ablett and Dempster as defensive/shut down players.
Now we have Smith for the small forwards and no one for the mids except Bird, who I don't particularly rate as a shut down player.
Hopefully we are not a Mathews short of a premiership
Would 2005 LRT play on 2012 LRT?

Its amazing the turnover of a team. Out of that premiership team, only 4 remain on swans list, and 3 are still playing for other teams.
