I know every supporter of every club feels the same from time to time but I really feel we have had a raw deal with the umpires this season, some of the decisions against the gold coast that probably cost us the game in the end were crazy, and the holding the balls against Sydney left me speechless.

fair old game of footy going on at the minute, Swans have had the opportunities to be miles ahead, unfortunately, you give the top teams an inch and they will take a mile

Was very highly rated as a young player, we would have to give up next to nothing, one of those players that could pay off bigtime and if it doesn't it hasn't cost us much

He's spectacular, selfish, not a team player, I have always rated Roughead as the better of the two. give me an honest forward who will give me 3 goals and a contest a game over a bloke who might kick 7 one week, then none the next but blaze and ignore 7 options in better positions to take pot shots It's just my opinion I suppose

Nearly as overrated as Nic Nat, that deal is going to come back and bite the Swans bigtime and it's already hurting their culture.

Zac Clarke John Butcher Luke Thompson Craig Bird Tom Bell Andrew Moore Let Roosy work his magic by giving them a role and settling them in the side,

Zac Clarke is a really good ruckman coming to the prime of his career, Howe is a good player but I think Roos will understand the need for a mature ruckman, and we can't really rely on Gawn at this stage.

First round pick and chip compo if he leaves for sheil and treloar? Jeremy Howe for zac Clarke

They have, but so have we really, only been belted once I feel as though Dawes up front might prove to be the difference, the crows mids are better than the dogs and we restricted them

I think we are going to make it really tough for the doggies to kick a winning score, the game will be decided on if they can restrict us at the other end.

read the worms sliding doors article on the doggies, the bloke thinks he has a coach, it's hilarious how little idea he has, thinks they didn't attack enough... also expressed his opinion on the MRP in our section without mentioning anything about the game.

absolutely he is, if Treloar wants to come home he'd be my number 1 target if we chip i wonder if our first pick and compo pick would net us Treloar and Shiel?

I have been told Freo will only offer him 500k they want cap space presumably for Hogan, and he thinks he could get more so he is open to offers, i don't know if that means he is gettable but i think there is a sneaky chance.

he was open to coming to us last year, 500k a year to come home and we will have the draft picks to get the deal done

That's the thing, development from within will make a difference, the natural progression of Salem, Toumpas, Trengove, Michie, Bail, Kent should mean they are all able to compete in the midfield at AFL level combine them with Jones, Tyson, Viney, Cross, Vince, Watts, JKH and we have a quality deep midfield, i'd love us to add Sewell and O'rourke to that group, both will be in the mix right away, O'rourke is a former pick 2 although that was probably overs for him, and Sewell will add alot right away,

Massive opportunity here

exactly right, the older long term assistants seem to be the flavour of the month with Hinkley and Richardson

you'd hate to be the bloke on the interchange trying to stop him running out on the ground, like putting a piece of salmon infront of a grizzley bear and telling him to sit down and wear the red vest.

if he keeps this form up the Wines vs Viney comparision will really become interesting

I have a very good feeling about this game! i reckon we have new found confidence and an ability to strangle sides and the dogs style of play will play right into our hands ( long kicking forward and no really good targets ) Dees by 27 Dawes to be the difference, we saw that a big target can be the difference in these games against the Saints and Blues

couple of servicable players i'd look at adding to the side- Nathan Vardy - good young out of contract mobile FWD/RUCK Kristen Jacksh - 196cm 94kg swingman and only 19 wants to come home to vic as feels he is a surplus to needs at GWS Jono O'rourke - very talented young mid, we have seen with Tyson these players find it alot easier if they aren't competing with all others their own age. Jeff Garlett - I think Roos would give him a role and get the best out of him Brad Sewell - offer him a two year deal as a playing assistant coach, this bloke is seriously smart, still has alot to offer on and off field, comes from success and a good culture and will not get a game at Hawthorn. John Butcher - was considered possibly a top 4 pick in his draft, ended up going 7 i believe, alot of talent but it hasn't quite come together, perfect project for Roosy to bring him home.

The funniest thing is if it was a norf player he would have been up in arms, as someone said earlier the Roos look the team most likely to move or merge and he will knock the mfc as much as he can because we got bailed out and he knows North won't.

Very confident Roos will do the three years and then sign on for another couple after that, you can tell with each week he is getting a taste for it and wants to see this out.

Ken Hinkley is doing okay at the minute, just turned a bottom 4 side into a top 4 side in a year and abit.
