Totally agree. We tanked for 2 years for $cully Watts & Trengove.

Not looking great at this stage is it. Jack Watts gets more time i admit. But if Trengove is not injured at the moment then we have a serious problem.

Wayne Carey called $cully an overpaid reciever this morning...

Cant agree with you WYL re Treners, he has been very good in his first 2 years, interupted pre season and will improve fitness through the season. Neeld put him head to head with Hayes last night who ran him off his feet. Hayes had little impact till thelast 10 minutes.

Trenners has it, trust me and he wants it

Hope you are right mate...A lack of pace is a hard thing to compensate for.

I want him to be a gun....but i am very concerned.

A lack of pace can be compensated by smarts, Treners and Scully complimented each other and were great picks together, Scully had the pace and gut running, Trenners has the smarts and still does IMO he is getting to grips with new gameplan and also suffering from interupted pre season. Pretty confident the captaincy is not a burden on him at all.

Fair Call, he has this year to sort out his place....Last night was the Par effort we must expect.

We were one class player away from winning that game.

That said the recruiting at the Swans has been first class for over a decade.

We did NOT tank for two years. There was one game the coaches tried to lose and that was against Richmond and we were still in front when the siren went. We were rubbish in 2008 we didn't tank.

Watts will make it once he gets a couple more pre-seasons under his belt to build his fitness and strength. He has only had one full pre-season and is only just turned 21.

Trengove has to be carrying an injury, I can't believe he is as poor as he has been playing considering what he has shown in his first couple of years. The kid will be a gun in the Hodge/Bartel mould.

Could not give one stuff about the other scumbag. But we have the compo picks this year which looks like it will get us a top 3 player plus Viney and another top 20 picks.

We have undertaken one of the biggest rebuilds/lists turnovers ever seen and are still yet to come out the other side. Our patience will be tested but I think the signs are there and Neeld is the exact kind of coach we need.

Bailey played for draft picks for 2 years...he said as much (with diplomacy) at his las press conference.

That also included giving kids experience..

Winning was not top priority in 2008-09

We did tank in 2009. Not just the Richmond game but in one or two others to ensure we did not get close to a Richmond situation. We didn't have to 2008. We were that bad in 2008

If Scully does not improve with GWS then we have avoided an expensive bullet albeit 3 later with 2 PPs.

People need to stop hyperventilating over Trengove. The guy is being called to play a role that is tough to play as a 20yo but also with the heavy baggage of captaincy. It smacks of the same early write offs of Tom McD and Frawley.

Now you are making it up again to suit your argument.

And if he was not giving kids a chance then who else could he have played instead given our senior playing list was decimated??

i am not making anything up Rhino. Listen to DB's final press conference. It's all there. Just like the presser Tom $ made.

It's all there.

2008-09 win no more than 4 a year.

Bailey held up his end of the bargain.

Unless you can sensibly differentiate between the capacity to win and the will to win you will always be falling back on ignorant conspiracy theories.

No. I am just not as conservative as you Rhino.

5 wins in either 08 or 09 & the blue print would need adjustment. I do not completely agree with the philosophy of the day, but it happened.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
