  1. Hogan is the only player on the list i wouldn't trade under any circumstances, so my comments on Howe are made from that perspective.

    Some say he lacks defensive pressure, I agree, and it's because he's an instinctive player with flair and hasn't been coached to include that type of pressure in his game. It's purely a mindset. It's silly to think he won't evolve.

    Howe is the best mark I've ever seen. I've seen Vanders and Knights - individually and toe to toe, amazing really, I've seen Modra, Barker, Snake Baker's grand final exploits, Jezza, Jumping Jack Hawkins, our own Robbie, Russell Robertson, etc, but none hold a candle to Howe. But unlike some I don't consider him a one trick pony. He has top level endurance, pace, usually good footskills, and at 190cm he's a brilliant size for a utility.

    At 23 with just 56 games under his belt he's one of the last players a club bereft of talent should trade. Especially when he's finally going to have an 'A' grade coach to improve his game. It just doesn't make sense to move such a player on when you can't be sure how good he'll become.

    Here's a novel approach. As well as trying to quickly inject a bit of midfield talent through trading some early picks how about we start developing our own talent.

    Actually I have to agree. But I wouldn't trade Viney either. Come on people, we truly have an exciting time coming. Players coming in will add to the excitement. Next year I truly believe we will win between 8-10 games. So lets feel the love!

  2. You're just making stuff up now. A second rounder and Spencer is what we're offering? GWS would just laugh at that. We will need to do far, far more than that to get close, not to mention convincing Adams to play for us.

    Remember we have the first pick in the 2nd round. Most teams have their eye on a big midfield pot in the first round. And after all is the rumour time of year! This is just what I have heard. Many a Stone to be unturned b4 the big dance!

  3. Did somebody read you the thread on Demonland entitled 'Big Americans training with Roos at Swans Academy' that began three and a half weeks ago in which the OP states: 'Anyway with Roos having the inside knowledge I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these guys come on to our list as a rookie''?

    No haven't seen it. Will have a look. Thx
