Adopt-a-Swan

[CharlieG]

[yet another shameless rip-off of other team boards]

Here's the deal. We want all BF Swans fans to pick a player for 2006 who they will write about each week. Either by starting a new thread about the player or reporting on how they went in a post-match thread, we hope to have a report about each senior player every week.

Let's get the Swans board ticking, guys - let's see if we can catch up to the Saints board in 2006!

I'll start by choosing... Lewis Roberts-Thomson. One way or the other, he should give me plenty to talk about!

"that" kick
Luke Ablett's one of my favs and his kick just depressed me, he kicked it to ben cousins who kicked it into the goal, thank the heavens we won

LEO BARRY, YOU STAR

 

[Carolyn]

I choose Tadhg Kennelly

 

[dougk]

Allright im in......

Will take a player who i reckon could be a future captain.

One of last years (second half of last year) best player........... Amon Buchanan.

Sounds like fun.

yes, myself and my two sisters were basically sitting right above him when it happened. My older sister is known for her nonchalance at football games, (sleeping off a hangover during the first half) so for her to burst out vocally at anything was fairly surprising, shocking even. Of course, her exact words would not evade the swear filter.

My little sister however is normally very loud. she's 25 and ive only ever seen her cry after swans losses, 96GF, 03PF, 04SF. Didnt even manage a tear for my grandmothers funeral. Strangely odd my sisters

Is this like player sponsorships?

Only difference being it's on a forum?

Nope, no money involved. Only what I said in the opening post.

 

[ROK of Gibraltar]

I'll take Doyle. That way it wont matter when I lose interest in this thread at around week 4...

Don't worry, I'll be hounding you. This is a commitment.

Well how about I commit to regular reserves updates from the nation's capital?

I will take Barry Hall...usually lots to write about!

 

[roosforever]

I should be able to report on Tim Schmidt. If he plays the A's which he should but I am a bit biased. I think he should get a rising star nomination this year.
