Posted this on the 'trades' thread but perhaps more relevant to this one. ... I agree. Toumpas looks okay to me. His greatest crime appears to have been in being selected ahead of Ollie Wines. Hardly his fault, and not the only player in that draft to be selected above him. In fact, it'd be interesting to know who Port would've selected with pick 4 if they were in our position. As we all know, all the clubs had Toumpas going ahead of Wines on draft day. That Wines would now be selected ahead of most in the league is a completely different issue.

Reckon Riley should've been included in that list. I reckon he'll prove to be the 'find' that Adelaide didn't see coming and which they may very we'll live to regret. Vince, Michie, Cross and Tyson are our best recruits IMO, but (with the possible exception of Michie) I hardly think any of them are 'finds' as such. Probably a battle between JKH and Georgiou for the 'find' of 2014. On a needs basis, probably Georgiou.

Nearly broke the plasma when he got caught on 98. I think even the Poms were disappointed he didn't make the tonne.

Hope we implement and then strictly enforce the Swans' no d1ckhead policy. It works.

North could be the smokey here. I think they have pick 14.

Neeld + Misson + Craig = massive credibility. None of the senior players will be able to complain or patronise or whinge or about a negative message being delivered to them by this coaching panel. If any of these guys make a negative comment about a player's performance, it has massive weight underlying it. And the players know that. Exciting stuff. Sylvia could win the Brownlow in 2012 - even though I think suspending him sends completely the correct message, I also wish he could get the three votes in round 1. I think he will absolutely flourish under Neeld (as will many others). Some could struggle though.

I had tears watching him win the yellow jacket and then speaking after the time trial - he is just a total legend.

Most reports I've heard have Taylor Walker at GWS next year. Jessie White could be a possibility. Even though he has all the hallmarks of a top forward, it just doesn't appear to be working for him at the Swans. Both parties may be open to a change of scenery (for the right deal).
