Remember when Sydney losing Malceski was a massive blow for their 2015 flag prospects...

I don't.

 

[jesterwester]

You obviously do.

Quality thread. Would read again.

I'm not sure anyone thought he'd be a massive blow to the Swans' flag hopes, given they had contingencies for his HBF type role.

But he has been absolutely horrendous for the Suns. I can't think of a mature age recruit from another club that came across as a gun that's been as bad as he has so far, since probably Fevola. Still plenty of time to turn it around obviously but has been no good thus far

 

[master bate]

Could still be.

Didn't see a lot of clean disposal from half back in the first half against Freo. Rhyce Shaw isn't a spring chicken. Ladiler hasn't played much finals and Rampe isn't at his best.

You aren't missing the current version of phoning it in and collecting a pay cheque/ injured Malceski.

But that doesn't mean you are fully sorted at half back and wouldn't have missed him if he was still giving 110% and in the Swans system as well as team.

I don't.

Of course you wouldn't remember, you are a robot.

Campbell Brown, Nathan Bock, Jared Brennan, Nathan Krakouer. Scott Clayton has some explaining to do.

1993 was artificial salary cap assistance, just not AFL-assisted

the first 2 were resonable on field, and from memory Brennan started OK and krakouer was just a kid
malceski has just had four horrendous games

What 2015 flag prospects ?

Something something Brownlow something something wink wink something something?

I don't.

 

[Bender571]

Weren't Sydney favourites (or at least 2nd favourite) for the flag at the start of the year?

We've seen 2 teams lose the 2 best players of this generation only to win the flag the next year, Malceski was unfortunate, but never disastrous.

Fev had 13 goals by the end of round 4 in 2010.

 

[Mordecai]

In fairness Dane Rampe has been an absolutely putrid replacement. When the pressure is on come September I know who I'd rather have with ball in hand.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Gloating over an injured player. Stay classy Swans fans.

Rampe hasn't really been the replacement, though. Malceski's role has been divided amongst a few players
