How bloody ridiculous. It irritates me that Matt Jones and Terlich are rubbished on this site. Both have a capacity, greater than many better regarded players, to get the ball. If you can't get it you can't contribute.I will bet that both play a role this year especially as young players get tired. As for McKenzie, he has a distinct role which is respected at the club. Remember Dean Chiron?! He wasn't the most talented to grace our list, but he helped us into the finals Finally, as to Dom Barry, the rest of this year will decide the matter will it not? I suspect that if he buckles down he will be given a chance. Must say I didn't think he was up to it, but they offered him a further contract

Well I'm sorry that Colin Flaubert likes this. It is in unbelievably bad taste and should never have been posted.

And that's all? You don't agree that the fabric of the club has been damaged by our determination to get Picks 1 and 2.? That some of us were suggesting that would be he case but you ridiculed us! Of course it has damaged us! There is no-one in the present admin who will disagree with that. As to Toumpas, you MAY be right! But can't you see how damaging it may be to him to be carrying on the way you are. The kid's struggling to get over the hip issues and people like you are bagging him-unmercifully.

And I recall that you were the most passionate advocate of tanking in order that we get both Scully and Trengove. A policy which I and a few others bitterly opposed but which the club followed. It cost Bailey and Connolly their reputation, the club lost a small fortune, decent players were disgusted by it and wanted to leave,and we've not yet recovered from it. I suggest you take some time to reflect on that, and tone down your criticism of a kid who has had major health issues. For Christ sake, give him a chance!

Well it reads well but in fact Pyke won the ruck duels and Swans did ok in centre clearances. I do agree however that Swans gave away a lot in letting Mumford go but would they play another ruckman in the side with Tippett already in the side? I think we should make a real pitch for Malcevski. Really can play and brings character and leadership to the table

I thought he was unfortunate. He can play and I hope we don't break his contract

What an absurd post. This has nothing to do with Blease. We heard that Riley would be out for most of the season. Instead he played just about half and got the ball-a lot. All of this on no pre-season. Great effort and I'm looking forward to seeing him next tear

i yI thought so too but he was awful v Brisbane. I've given up. If he couldn't get a dozen games this year I think the coach has also

I find it incredible that posters are prepared to hoot and jeer at Newton, without seeing what he has been doing at Norwood. Dunn has been mentioned often enough. What about Jetta? At other clubs there are many who were pretty useless in their first 5 years at AFL level. If Newton has bulked up and is kicking 50 plus goals per season at CHF, and if he was mad enough to accept a rookie, or late draft, pick, why not? As Podziadly has shown, 27 is hardly too old. A really disturbing aspect of our list is the complete absence of any key position players other than those who are playing. He would have been bloody handy this year

Because Frawley is amongst the best players we have, that's why. Have been a Watts supporter but, my God, he was awful on Saturday. Trengove and Grimes must be retained. Absurd not to give JT a chance after his foot surgery

One of the more absurd comments I've ever encountered. The previous week he easily beat Stefan Martin in the ruck (yes Stefan got a number of possessions but rarely on Jamar) and again this week he won the ruck contests. It's stupid he's not in the leadership group. He is giving 110 percent

Very hard on Jamar (won clearly in the ruck) Michie and Tom McDonald. Have a look at Roughhead's goals--several were gifts on the goal line
