That's three. Lloyd and Mills makes five and that is it. They're carrying a lot more than Richmond's are. Their young players are also developed in a better system because they've come into a team in a premiership window. So i'm not sure how they're comparable in any way really.

Give it a rest

Agree its a better system

but every side is comparable, they are in the same competition, we need to compete agaisnt the other teams not age and development profiles

the main point was how impressive they are v hawthorn, just mentioned us because we have a young list,so wasnt trying to compare us v Richmond

Reid would stroll into the Richmond lineup.

Pics of JPK and Buddy heading up. Why? May as well stay home with the fam and do regular rehab.

Apologies if already poster but Harley had a slip of the toungecregarding Buddy saying he could be back in a couple .... then changed to before the end of the season...maybe he is closer than we know

 

[kickthething]

What chance the Saints get a little ahead of themselves this week....also they are due to hit some behinds , their goal kicking was extraordinary last start. For us, does Wicks get a start?

Happened twice already

My gut feeling is Buddy will be back for the derby in Perth.Miss the next 2 games in Brisbane,then we have the bye then derby. PS Lets hope so.

Let's face it. All here must have realised that a 9 year deal (with out COLA) was a huge risk and likely list disaster in the final years.
I accept the very good reasons SS/SMFC did it.

So the ONLY value Buddy now offers, IS DEFINITELY NOT bums on seats or premierships. It can only be to teach the younger ones what it is like to have structure in the forward half and how much that effects the game.

He ought be nursed through his remaining years carefully, and used more as a instructive leader than someone to drool about kicking an occasional bag for a surprise win!

It is now get him on the park and fit enough for continuity rather than try to be the superstar match winner he once was.

I’ve learned to temper expectations. “Setbacks” in training have become the norm for Buddy.

I think he needs to lose a few kgs and play out of the square for the rest of his career if he does play again

 

[swanssince2002]

I think Buddy will float between the centre and forward 50 area when he comes back and delivering it beautifully to our forwards. Dont think he will play deep in the 50 again and drawing 2-3 defenders.

Swans reserves played today according to the club's twitter. In the video was Foot, Wicks, Warner, Amartey, O'Connor, Reynolds (!!), Rowles, McInerney, Maibaum, Gould and Melican.

Not sure what that means for selection, but that leads me to believe Rampe will play.

 

[momentbymoment]

100% record at the gabba when A Stretcher plays

Whatever happened to stretch?
He showed a lot of potential in his short career.

I couldn't make out Stephens anywhere but Taylor is there. Looks like Hayward for Taylor

Yeah don't think it was Stephens. I didn't see Taylor though?

Which Taylor?

Watched again on my laptop, you're right Taylor is definitely not there. I saw the blonde tips but seems a few of the boys are sporting them

Surprised they had enough fit players for a team but at least good to see the guys that have missed out have got some match practice.

Hawks lent us a few players last weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if the Giants do too
