    Mumford coming to Sydney

    Sum's it up pretty well. Mumford will have more opportunities (and more money) at the Swans, and Geelong will now be able to fit Drum into their salary cap. Looks like a win-win.

    Dennis Carroll

    Short memory? Carroll was Reserves coach in the nineties.

    Jarred McVeigh

    Come on Liz, you know I'm too old to remember all these nicknames . . . what's a Vez?? Anyhow, I don't see McVeigh playing a role anything like Davis or O'Keefe . . . definitely only a speedy crumbing forward, maybe like Bartlett? I feel that playing in the midfield he'll always be just a...

    Jarred McVeigh

    Although he's done some useful run-with work, he's never been convincing as an out-and-out midfielder. The times when he's really stood out to me have always been as a rover in the forward 50. He is amazingly fast off the mark, and also gets boot to ball very quickly. I'm wondering if the reason...

    Kieren Jack

    Reading the reports on here and RWO about the reserves players, I'm hard pressed to identify a small that is a better option than Buchanan or a tall that looks likely to get called up before LRT. Do you think there's any real chance of a new talent forcing into the seniors, Liz? I liked the...

    Bigfooty Face-Off Round 9: Dogs vs Swans

    Most games are won or lost in the midfield, and I doubt if this will be any different. The Swans will try to shut down the Dogs on-ballers and neutralise the stoppages, which in turn gives the running defenders time to get into the action. Malceski, Kennelly and Dempster are amongst the best...

    It's interesting to see that Luke Brennan is starting to make an impact. Given his age and background, his recruitment doesn't make any sense unless the Swans seriously expected him to play senior football this season. I reckon a couple more good performances in the reserves will really put...

    Adam Goodes in trouble??

    What rule?

    The Reserves situation

    From memory, Simon, something like option 3 was on the table around the time that the Swans split with Port Melb. I think it was just too complex to set up in the time available. If we are looking at possible future scenarios, I'd throw in the following: 2007 to 2010 - Swans players spread...

    Lrt

    His whole career has been two steps forward, then one back. Whenever I'm tempted to write him off, he proves me wrong, so I'm anticipating that he'll take another step up this season. He just doesn't seem to think like an AFL player. It's like he's been given a scenario checklist by the...

    Roos and RWO - the negativity by a few

    Only when the word 'Bevan' crops up.

    Roos and RWO - the negativity by a few

    Ah, but it's not the opinion that's the problem, is it? You're opinion is as valid as anyone else's, and usually better expressed. My gripe ( and possibly Diego's?) is the constant re-statement of that opinion over and over and over and over . . . . There have always been stirrers on RWO...

    Roos and RWO - the negativity by a few

    What's to explain? 1. they like to stir the pot, and 2. they're smarter than you. That's obvious to everyone but you, apparently.

    Malceski and Buchanan

    Vogels took a hit in the 2nd quarter, and I don't recall seeing him again after that. Does anyone know if he's okay?
