    Really, I see Teddy as being that player, the one that organises our back six.

    No actually Macca went back and organised the backs. There was a time earlier this year when there did not seem to be a lot of coordination back there but Macca went back and took control and then it all gelled.

    I'm not convinced Rampe, Lamb and B Jack don't need a spell in one of the easier games. Aweek off to freshen up before the finals. It's not like they are battle hardened veterans. I also think the Rooster could be put in as the sub for teh last few games or the finals

    I'd like to see that!

    The New Nick Smith

    Has anyone noticed that Nick has become a more offensive player in recent games?

    Until this year Nick was the 'kid' in the back line. Now as confidence is growing in the abilities of Rampe and Dre to handle their defensive coverage, Smooch has been taking some liberties by going forward more. He's turning up in the midfield more often and last game kicked a goal.

    Smith is not only a good defender, but a very good player all around. He makes good decisions and is a very good kick. I think we will see him participating more in our offensive forays as the season progresses. Add another weapon the Swans' bow.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Forget where Rampe came from. He's a very good player. Full stop. I can't see any reason to drop him, no matter who is ready to come back.

    There have been a number of new players that have come from relative obscurity to become first rate players in their first years: Michael Hibert of Essendon, Lee Spur of Freo and Mullet of NM to name a few.

    Rampe was very good again yesterday. Doesn't look like someone who needs a spell.
