I did find it very condescending. Most of those guys are alive and have said their piece anyway, the players don't need someone telling them to harden the [censored] up in a folk song. The names Schwartz and Garry don't deserve to be there. I like the idea of a song like this to play before 'It's a Grand Old Flag', and I agree that there's no point hiding from our rut, but 'go out and have a go' is the kind of thing they would have played at early 90's Swans games where noone was watching.

If/when Mitch Clark come back, surely he won't be right to play ruck unless he's proved his fitness through a run of matches. Fitzy is our Leigh Brown. 2 metres tall, agile, strong, good below his knees, ruck ability. I don't know, right now it's going to be very hard to justify dropping him.

Find me a better 2m tall field kick than Fitzy. You'd take Daniel [censored] Cross for him? Are you insane. Doubting whether you actually watch our players.

He was very ginger on it, he didn't attack the ball with nearly as much vigour after he hurt it.

Was very disappointed with our fitness last night. The players had to pick between executing their skills and gut running. They're not mutually exclusive.

6 feet under, unfortunately. Those are just the breaks. We can't turn down candidates on the premise that they failed as a board member over a decade ago. Everyone needs to be considered.

Stockdale was on the Szondy board when it went [censored] up, but that board still wanted the best for the club. Szondy is actually a foundation hero. As said earlier, I like Stockdale and don't mind his comments, I just don't know why he had to say anything.

Agreed. He was very highly rated. That 09 night was a wankfest though. Prendegast wheeling out Gysberts as 'the third best mid in the draft', calling out "Luke........Tapscott" to frighten Luke Ball, all that rubbish about Gawn and Fitzy being the two to spilt at #34 when one miraculously came in at 50. That's not to mention SCULLGOVE! So, so, so unprofessional.

Don't disagree, but we need to give him a couple more years. He's a proven winner, and Rome wasn't built in a day. Those Roos fans have really shut up about Steve Saunders since their collapses.

Roos, Yes, No, Yes, 1st Rounder.

Rightio. He hasn't played under Craig, so here is his sample size under Neeld this season. Average (10 games): Disposals: 9.6 Tackles: 1.7 Marks: 3.5 Goals: 0.4 Miserable stuff. I think he's best on a forward flank, and his marking shows that he is competent, but he doesn't kick goals, or have any pace/stamina.

Bloody good? When? Best game was with 17 touches against West Coast. Next best was 12 against Carlton. Kicked a bag of...2...against Brisbane. And averages 1.7 tackles in his ten games this season. I'll let the stats talk before throwing around terms like that.

Doesn't have the stamina, smarts or pace.

Bumping this thread 4 months later. Tapscott hasn't played more than a couple of quarters of good football and is sitting at Casey. Time is surely ticking on his future at the Demons.

103 tackles compared to less than half of that in most Neeld losses. These types of losses, where we're gunning for the win but end up the worse side on the day, aren't unhealthy losses.

No, no, no. Injured both times against them. DO NOT PLAY HIM AGAINST THE TRAFFIC CONES.

You'd hope he can have more of an impact on the contest than TJ did. Harsh to say trade table, but no doubt Trengove needs to stand up and not be satisfied with 17 disposal games like he's been dishing up.

Not entirely correct. Jack was diagnosed with CFS when he was about 6 years old but it flared up (or whatever the terminology is) badly in his U18's year.

He forgot to mention the part when BP called Gysberts the third best midfielder in the draft and Tapscott a Chapman clone. That night was just one big wankfest, from what I've heard.

Yes please. Both very good players.

One word. Four letters. Vegetable. SPUD.

Been doing the same over on BigFooty. Met him after the game, Fitzy's the man!

Agree on all 3 counts. "Yes, yes, I'm a horrible bastard".

Reward good performances and stick in Magner for Blease. No omissions if possible.

Fantastic.
