We need a swing player and thats what they are hoping to turn Astbury into.
He is far to slow as a KPF IMO.
He needs to take over from Chaplin.
Michael Talia? Kicked 2 goals on the weekend in a swingman role. Dogs fans losing patience with him too. Wouldn't mind him or Jake Kolodjashnij. Far more promising then Elton or Astbury.

Bring on Lindsay Thomas. 40 goal a season small forward. Exactly what we need and we'll get him on the cheap due to him being out of favor. Who cares if he's a dickhead? Jake King was a dickhead and we loved him no less.

He's 27 years old, plenty of gas left in the tank. Offer our second round pick. Get it done Tigers.

I watch as little of north as possible, why exactly is he out of favour?

Started the year on fire kicking 17 goals in 7 games but in the 6 games which followed that he only managed to kick 5 goals. He's clearly out of form but it's not as though he's lost his ability. We just need to get someone into his ear. Tell him how we wouldn't treat him badly at Tigerland and how desperate we are for a player like him.

Isn't one of the knocks on him that he plays a bit like a mini full forward and gets in the way of taller forwards?

He's a bit like Elliot from Collingwood in that he has such strong hands and leap for a small forward, so you could really play him out of the square and you'd get a decent return from him.

Small-forwards are generally selfish. I don't mind it. He's got enough skill that "getting in the way" would still mean snagging 2-3 goals.

I'm with you mate. We desperately need potency up forward and Lindsay offers plenty. 2nd rounder in a shallow draft... I'm in.

I agree he isn't a bad player, but I just hate him so much :(

Coz he is a front running soft cock who is being displaced in the side as Nahas has a greater defensive game , which says it all . He kicks two his lack of defensive pressure results in 4 for the opposition .

Exclusive small forwards don't get a kick after mid May .

Actually they should.

Prices are not plucked from thin air!!!

We know were the price is coming from so we know what the price is ball parkish even though it is not stated as fact yet publicly...


The bottom line is, if you know the price mechanism, only amateurs focus on the actual price after the fact when the known price mechanism has discovered the priced beforehand.


If you do not know what I am talking about, go to school and learn how the world works. It helps to transcend from Alice and Wonderland I suspect!;):p

Like it or not Swans have a say in the price and they have a track record to evaluate and project!:cool:

Example, don't go to China if you want to see anything on the web from there! This is called making decisions and predictions based on track records. It is why Europe is not buying Greece's latest agenda until aspects get pushed through parliament. Track records and trust are important!
That just sums up your posting Magic.... love it!

Let's just play Newman, Morris, Lambert and Gordon in the forwardline forever then.
