Impossible to split them.

Should the club keep going hard at free agents? [I'm thinking Frawley]

Nope (and Ireland said that he doubts they will be able to fit one in for a while now). On Frawley, it's always been my impression that key defenders are more often developed within a club than brought in on big money from other clubs. We'll be able to find our own cheaper options through the draft or Craig Bolton/Ted Richards style.

How many Swans on the current list will become Swans Hall of Famers? Name them.

Goodes and O'Keefe are certainties. Jack and McVeigh likely. Too early to call for other players. Maybe Mitch Morton

Was Josh Kennedy's 2012 season a one-off? Or will he return to that superstar form?

Is he really that far off it this year? He is a gun, YES

Is malceskifan a flog?

Not as big a flog as robbieando

Who is the most overrated player at the club?

Hey I didn't hack robbies account, just sayin!

Who is the most overrated player at the club?

Dan Hannebery. Perhaps not the most overrated, but I definitely believe he is overrated. His 2013 was good but for a considerable proportion of the media and football public to think his 2013 and generally was on par with Kennedy, McVeigh and Jack summed it up for me. I also don't think his 2013 was AA worthy. AA squad, sure. But not the 22 ahead of Kennedy and Nat Fyfe.

Who is the most underrated player at the club?

Grundy by our own, Smith by the public.

Two rucks or one? And why?

 

[robbieando]

Two. Pyke can't play the amount of time expected of him and be effective with LRT or Tippett as his backup. Derickx has to be in the side when Tippett returns.

Now Milne has retired who is the biggest flog of player in the AFL?

Horatio Lamborghini or whatever he is calling himself this week.

Should the drug cheating players be banned?

If guilty, then yes.

Should Hird coach again?

 

[S120]

If guilty, then yes.

Should Hird coach again?

No club should want him until he proves he can be responsible in a coaching role. He ought to take an assistant role somewhere and work his way up. He did make a mistake so I won't say he never should coach again, but clubs shouldn't want him right now. Most of all Essendon. I honestly cannot believe they're giving him all that money, let alone taking him back at all next year.

Which Swans player on our current list should be given an opportunity to coach before Hird does? ie. Which player on our list would be most suited to coaching?

Mcveigh- has all the pointing and yelling down pat or shaw hear enough stories of him working with others


If the swans asked members to vote on staying the swans or getting a different mascot /nickname would you vote to change?

 

[robbieando]

Nick Smith

Fine I'll answer one then, I'd vote to stay the same, it's part of our DNA.

Do you think depression and anxiety are more common among professional athletes due to the high performance nature of their sport? (Sorry lengthy one)

No, i think thats an obvious link in cases we see, eg clark, schwass, thompson etc

But they get publicity because they are famous, i see enough average joes deal with it its not always pressure or stress, i think its such a hard illness to understand, in some cases rightly or wrongly its hard not to think its bs or an excuse for someone lazy, i know that seems ignorant, but its not like you can do a depression scan. But in short i think its an illness spread far and wide to all varying degrees of pressurised lives

Do you have a swans player you disliked

 

[Ozmale62]

Okeefe if goodes gets back as he forces him out so yeah in 2014

Ill say tom mitchell over luke parker ss


My question who is the best captain since we moved to sydney and why

Would like to answer this, and yes, I am out of sequence... Dennis Carroll & Barry Round were both exceptional Captains also.. Very hard question...

Shannon Grant, Rocca, Gaspar...

I met Barry Hall and Jesse White at Shore thing a while ago, which players/coaches have you run into in a random social situation?

Not really disliked, but didn't appreciate more to the point.. Leon Higgins. Kicking was hit or miss, wasn't really hard at the ball, could go missing.

What is your most treasured memory of the Swans apart from the obvious Premierships...

Worked with Kruse at GM Holden's, Francis Jackson was my teacher, knew Paul Hawke from Albury,

What is more important than watching a Swans match?
