[Riders of Rohan]

Seems we've got red, black, orange and lime green boots in there. Rohan is massive compared to how tall I thought he was. Looks like he's pushing 190 in that photo.

Wikipedia says he's 195cm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Rohan

although the Swans site says he's 188cm.

 

[Swans120]

I reckon he'd be about 190-191. He looks pretty comparable if not bigger than Tadhg who's 190, though they aren't standing next to each other.

I like how Kierans standing forward a bit to give him that bit of extra stature

LOL you're right he is standing a long way forward.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Not to ruin your theory or anything but Longmire is standing forward, too. It rounds out the picture.

Can we get back to the original conspiracy theory please ? That Reid is in the Round 1 team. How about the fact that Jude is in a polo and not a guernsey? Hmmmmm

 

[Riders of Rohan]

It definately says that Reid will be in round 1, did assistant coach Jude came to the photo session today instead of footballer Jude?

Longmire only has 1 foot forward, Jack is standing a foot infront of hannebery. Don't wreck this

Just saw the video on that page, they had this team on the board that played the Saints last week

Everitt Richards Smith
Rohan Grundy Shaw
Jetta McVeigh Mattner
McGlynn Goodes J.Bolton
O'Keefe Seaby Moore
Mumford Jack Kennedy

Hannebery Bird Bevan
Bradshaw* Circled in red and titled Super Sub (I think this was for lolz)

Missing from those that did play: White Sumner


Looks like a plausible team don't you think.

Yes, other than the lack of a full forward

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Two videos 10 minutes long with Mathews interviewing longmire.
Edit: Better link here http://www.afl.com.au/Video/tabid/7...ooty+with+john+longmire+-+part+1/Default.aspx

Very informative interview, has some stuff on the midfield, swans approach to the draft etc..

 

[grimlock]

If you check out the training photos from this morning you can see LRT doing some defensive drill and Tadhg was involved in one of the stoppage drills. C.Bolton doing more running of laps

Positive signs.
