Personally i am very very very impressed with our results from the draft if anyone has pictures profiles or reports on any player please post it
 
Good work on selecting Guy Campbell, Essendon should of selected him and he will definately give your team a big boost in defence. Played mainly fullback for Bendigo and was rarely beaten.

Exactly what you said, he was also used as a pitch hit ruckman and key forward with success.
 
Completed a succesful off season trading and drafting i think very pleased with the rookies
 
i wouldnt be pleased with using pick 15 on JOLLY or getting spriggs or even re drafting Heath James
 
Too bad for you then huh, we strengthened our midfield with a needed ruckman, and another midfielder.

Nothing at all wrong with Heath James.

But to use pick 15 on him?
i personally dont think Spriggs will play alot of football in the midfield next year
 
We needed a ruckman who was ready to play in 2005 which we never would have got with pick 15 - yeah, it was probably a little above the odds - and Matthew Bate should become a terrific player, but Jolly fills an important hole for us

As for Spriggs and James, I can only assume that Roos concluded that we could pick up comparable youngsters in the rookie draft, so he went for experienced players (and looking at our selections today, I'm more than happy with our intake of youngsters)

Spriggs and James, and even Jolly, will probably never be superstars - but they are fill deficiencies in the Swans lineup, and will be ready to play in 2005

I'll admit, I was a little underwhelmed after the November draft, but after today's selections I am most enthusiastic

Well we can agree to disagree a-rob i think we have a succesful we snaged a few recycled players a ruckman or 2 and the kpp we needed also a few midfielders. The two im really impressed and happy that we got are Earl Shaw and Ed Clarke saw a bit of their teamwork in the carnival games loved it
 
If there is a longterm injury or someone retires who do you think will be the first rookie to be elevated, i am tipping Guy Campell or Ed Clarke

Campbell supposedly has the body and I think if we have a long term injury it will be to a KP player, Clarke has the body to doesn't he. Does Shaw?
