T.Derickx 18 (39%) :drunk: <- as an interim solution, he's better then a kick in the head.
Sour grapes Tim? Not a good look for a professional.

Squiggle6 if you're going to pimp out your kicking school on BF, why not do it the right way and message a mod for permission?
PS: Welcome to Bigfooty!
On the brightside, hopefully it's a vote of confidence in someone from last years intake (Marsh - Dick - Towers) to play Seniors next year or Biggs\Cunningham to step up a notch :thumbsu:
Me too. Handy to keep around as depth. Not sure how he'll cope mentally playing for a bottom 8 team, particularly after spending the last few years immersed in a winning culture.
Probably, but I guess that partially depends on what's planned for next years trade week circus.
If the Swans are...
There will be probably be a 'Supporters" pack available (no games/priority but with some goodies eg; cap) for ~$100.
Alternatively, you can support the club financially by donating to the Sydney Swans Foundation (which incorporates the Sydney Swans Academy):

Lockyer and Alex Brown are on 3yr contracts which expire 2014.
That being said, there's always the option to delist and payout the remainder of a contract.
Perris was signed under the defunct Scholarship program, so if the Swans want him and he agrees, he can bypass the draft and be added directly to the list.
Has played 13 Senior games this year for St George in the Sydney Premier Division and named in the "Bests" 6 times. Hope we see him play...
Lamb isn't going anywhere, his first contract doesn't end until 2013 anyway.
For an inside mid cheapie, you should have a look at 3rd yr swans rookie Dylan McNeil.
No superstar, but has solid skills (3yrs in the Swans system saw to that) outstanding work ethic and character.
SFA chance of...
1st rounder & Lewis Roberts-Thomson sounds reasonable to me.
LRT slots straight into the Pies back 6 (just like Tarrant did).
He's still a quality defender (and utility) and has plenty of life left....more then enough time for the Pies to develop future KPDs from within or pilfer via free...
I think it would be handy to include known nicknames in the player profiles.
I'm sure some people visiting this board (new & old) might be confused occasionally by the nicknames regular members use when discussing players (visit another team board & you'll see what I mean).
Will they eventually...
Ain't that the truth.
McKaigue might have been drafted before the International rules were changed, but AFAIK Irish/GAA players can not be listed as International Rookies anymore, they are subject to standard rules and are included on the regular Rookie list.
Gordon, McNeil & Kruger are...
You're all thinking too small.
Have a look at what's going on in other departments at your club.
The Adelaide Crows are undergoing a paradigm shift.
I think someone upstairs has finally realised money alone won't buy you success, having the right people in place - in all departments -...
Let's give Jesse the benefit of:
An uninterrupted pre-season.
Several sessions per week with a sports psychologist.
An eye test.
Then re-assess when his contract expires next year.
Santa obviously wants more game time & maybe $$. I'd rather gamble on more game time for TDL, Johnson &...
+1. I read it as an intention not a commitment too.
Players nominated in May were:
Jack Davis
Eric Moody
Jack Pratt
Lachlan Kilpatrick
With the Academy, as I understand it, the club has the luxury of keeping them within the system until they are 21 and has first opportunity to list them...
