    Autopsy Round 8 vs Melbourne Demons

    Explain to me anyone, why Chris Ladhams was not on the team sheet today? Surely next weeK? We were lucky that their Mihocek went down, and that the game was up here, and not in Melbourne. Great game Malcolm Rosas.

    Scape Goat Sack Cox

    Dean Cox is doing well. We needed to move on from Uncle Longmire. A harder edge around the club, put a bit of stick about. Assistants Laidler and Malceski became available, after spells elsewhere, and in particular, to have Simon Goodwin asst coaching from the bench, it has been an absolute...

    Player Watch #6 Logan McDonald

    The most exasperating player on the team currently. Two words as a caution for Logan: Jesse White.

    Game Day 2026 Round 07 Bulldogs v. Swans – 23 April @ Marvel 7:30pm

    As others have said, it wouldn't surprise if the Bont was a late out. Tonight's game tells us -where we're really at -it's one we'd have let slip in season's past. Can we muster the killer instinct and play through the absence of Gulden and Heeney.

    Autopsy 32 point win vs the Suns

    Next two weeks very interesting. Home to the Giants, then away to the Bulldogs. M.Bontempelli is deserving of his status as league MVP, but Isaac Heeney should be in the conversation now. Stellar game against the Suns.

    Autopsy 2026 Round 01 Swans def. Brisbane by 44 points

    Solid team win. Players like Bice, Sheldrick, Roberts, McDonald, Amartey and McCartin finding their feet and growing in confidence. From the outside, I'd say don't risk Gulden and Heeney, it's a long season. Sit them both down against Hawthorn, then comes the bye. And don't fly them to Perth in...

    Game Day 2026 Round 01 Swans v. Brisbane - 14 March @ SCG 7:10 pm

    Lions are ripe for the picking today, with some key Brisbane players out or suspended.

    Autopsy Swans vs Carlton Opening Round 2026

    Liked the contribution of Jai Serong, he looked reliable all game, especially early on when it really mattered. Thought Errol was the X-factor, he went full Lionel Messi in the 3rd Q. Quarterbacked the team.

    Swans Board Cricket Thread - Ashes 25/26

    Ticks to Josh Tongue with the ball, Jacob Bethell, both bat and ball, and a whole-hearted effort from Ben Stokes. Joe Root improved his series average in the 5th Test when it didn't matter, and we had bowlers injured. Not much else to say. Was the tour to Australia an opportunity or a reward...

    Swans Board Cricket Thread - Ashes 25/26

    Nool C. and Bedford, it's the off season, about ..cricket. We need you both for Game 1, 2026. Shouting for the Swannies. Save your energies for that.

    Make or break year 2026 for Justin. Will he deliver on the potential that we all see. Will he show durability.

    Swans Board Cricket Thread - Ashes 25/26

    While I'm at it, on selections, I'd be unhappy with the selectors if I was Beau Webster. Or for that matter Matt Renshaw -on the squad outer, but so was Jai Richardson. And surely Todd Murphy gets his chance in Sydney.

    Swans Board Cricket Thread - Ashes 25/26

    I don't buy into the moaning about the Melbourne Test pitch. OK I get it, so someone that lives in regional NSW, and drove 5hrs, in vain, with their Day 3 tickets. But it's a national event. Not everyone can get to the MCG. For a TV watcher, that was two days of compulsive, can't look away...

    No Oppo Supporters 2025 AFL General Discussion

    On another subject: Either the Tasmania Devils will enter the league in 2028, or the entire medicant state will go into administration. Impossible financials with the planned new stadium. Something's has to give down there. Guess who will pick up the tab. Where will their people...

    First slip: Bob Simpson Second Slip: Steve Smith Third Slip: Mark Waugh Fourth Slip: Greg Chappell Gully: Cam Green, or Paul Sheahan They would drop -nothing.

    Swans Board Cricket Thread - Ashes 25/26

    Probably IN: Cummins, Lyon OUT: Neser, Doggett T.Head made 55 runs in the second test. The jury is still out on him as an opener. They'll want to play Khawaja, but who do you drop? Inglis is there for his wicket keeping.

    Player Watch #14 Callum Mills (c)

    It's a fantasy that Callum will get anywhere near the mids. He's a half-back. If we want him on the field. First pre-season contact drill. Got tackled, and did a hammy.. Close watch now on Tom Papley, Joel Amartey and JMac.

    198cm as an 18yro, good pedigree, and a North Albury boy, Brett Kirk's old club. Into the gym, but a lot to like about this kid.

    Player Watch #35 Charlie Curnow

    In any case, I doubt he's ahead of Jezza Cameron or Sam Darcy for Vic selection. And yes, a knee/ankle/soft tissue niggle will be discovered at the opportune moment.

    I've been all over this place on the Curnow trade. But as much as we love them, were Ollie and Wilbur the players to dig us out of a hole at 3/4 time in a final? Tasmania is coming into the draft in 2027, so clubs need to be trade aggressively in the interim. The club and the new coach know...

    This morning the mainstream news bulletins are still saying that Carlton has refused the Swans offer. I think our offer is more than fair. Take it or leave it Blues. We'll get a good pre-season into Will and Ollie, and then see who wins the trade. Overall which AFL club wins the trade period...

    On trades, what is the trade rabbit out of the hat this year, we are known for it. The Z.Merrett situation has gone very quiet at Essendon, but Hawthorn more likely (if anyone). For the record, I hope C.Curnow stays at Carlton. But what would I know, to this day I don't get why we traded...

    Spot on Punts. Been saying as much on here for years. Their dismantling of COLA, and the trade ban was plain vindictive. Didn't make house prices any cheaper in Sydney.

    List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Thread - Picks 31, 32, 42, 60 and 71

    Hope I'm wrong, strong feeling we're getting Curnow. As his 3rd choice. Gold Coast don't need him, and Geelong can't afford him. JUH probably to Gold Coast. Clarry probably remain at Melbourne.

    List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

    Reading through the thread, it looks a bleak drafting outlook. The club can hardly expect any 'dancing in the aisles' -were we to draft any of May, JUH or even Curnow. In any case, I'd say we'd be the last choice for at least two of those three players. If we're not trading any of Gulden...
