This selection clearly spells out the end of two careers.Stoddart is unlucky
Jack getting a send off
I suspect Horse named KJ just to kickstart this thread.Preview thread on Swans board = 1 Page

The most possessions hey? You might want to go check the form guide bud, you’ve just backed the wrong horse(s)!Rose at best only looks like a last 2-3 picked type of player who has had 5 years in the system so I think his papers have been stamped. Let's not forget that most on here were very surprised he avoided getting cut last year.
Jack did have the most possessions in last weeks NEAFL game so has some form. Season not over yet given the shock results being thrown up each week so that may be why he is back rather than adding more youth. I think we're too far from 8th to make it but the club will keep trying until the maths rule us out. Once we are definitely done, bring in Stoddart etc, tip out players needing surgery early and plan for 2020.
Okay so Jack only had the second most possessions, substitutute the name Clarke for Jack and you are going to get exactly the same reactions to the selection from exactly the same posters.The most possessions hey? You might want to go check the form guide bud, you’ve just backed the wrong horse(s)!
Not me, I’d rather Clarke, I actually don’t mind him...even if he does have some work to do on his disposal. Having said that, if I couldn’t have a ruck, I would’ve kept the same side.Okay so Jack only had the second most possessions, substitutute the name Clarke for Jack and you are going to get exactly the same reactions to the selection from exactly the same posters.
I wonder if, one day, this group of experts might be able to discuss the various selections and non-selections without denigrating the player we think shouldn't have been selected, particularly when that player has 1. Earned his selection with his performances in the Reserves and 2. Has given this great club such great service over a number of years.
Might be the last senior game Rose plays for the Swans, we will see.
Rose only had 38m gained last week which was our worst (followed by Melican 76m, Blakey 120m). He had 0 inside 50s.

IMO (this means it isn't necessarily right for those of you that jump at shadows).
First in should have been Fox, but he needs game time in NEAFL before being considered.
Second choice should have been Clarke, but he needs to improve his poor disposal in twos.
Third choice is Jack, who has played a few games back now to improve fitness, got plenty of the ball, tackles, defensive efforts etc so get's the nod for this particular week, be it his Swansong or because he still has something to offer our season.
IMO
The only thing I feel about this is sadness that KJ has a put a slight tarnish on his legacy by agreeing to play.
Didn't he kick a goal from the 50m arc?
This is insulting to a contracted player.
on a tight angle, at a time we really needed a goal when all his teammates were kicking points. ffs.Didn't he kick a goal from the 50m arc?
No stranger than Roughy's farewell game against us. Might just be Horse copying his great teacher Clarko.Much has been said about jack been brought back in for his "experience/leadership" and clearly to help us win when swapping out young developing players, though i'm keen to know how much of that has actrually translated to a win of recent times when he's come back in after injury and/or decent reserves form. If it's a farewell game (great servant and deserves one), but the timing would seem odd.
Each to their own... given where we are at this year I just can't see how it does that........the selection says now about horse than it does about KizzaThe only thing I feel about this is sadness that KJ has a put a slight tarnish on his legacy by agreeing to play. I think nothing about Jose - the bloke is simply a Moneyball tosser.
