Swallow the Captain

[Arthur Cloke]

when was the last time he grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck and said, "not on my watch"?
When was the last time he kicked a "captains goal?"
He is a mere shadow of the pre-Achilles Swallow.

I know he's a nice man but time to send him up north with his brother for a juicy second-round pick.

 

[Only Forwards]

Adelaide in Hobart last year.

 

[Arden]

Thread title would make a great name for a porno. :stern look

 

[Harris 10]

Take Scott Thompson with him and see what we can get out of the deal.

 

[Hojuman]

Agree with you slightly.......but l will give him a small amount of leeway coz' none of the other f*****s follow or step up !

I am looking at you Jack, Basti ( insert names..)

 

[scooby1279]

What was his game time last night he continually ran to the bench and at times played on the wing?

when was the last time he grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck and said, "not on my watch"?

When was the last time he said "Get out of my face or I'll rearrange it for you"?

 

[Mordecai]

Didn't he return on fire at the end of last year?

 

[Hazey1977]

Last 8 minutes against Geelong in the finals I remember him really willing himself into the contest when they were coming at us.

This should be the standard every week though, not once every 3 years.

 

[LeFtBehinD]

He's just not a leader, but who else do we have?

Guarantee there will be a press conference/interview tomorrow along the lines of:

"Yeah.. we didn't play that great. I think we can play better than on the weekend. We just have to turn it around and hopefully get better... Yeah up against Geelong this week, they've had extra rest but hopefully we'll be up to the challenge... Yeah hopefully we'll be able to have a win. Thanks guys."

Still think Ziebel is the man. Does kick inspirational goals and hates getting beaten... Or at least it appears that way. He seems the logical choice IMO.
As good as Swallow is he just doesn't have that "follow me" type of style.

If only he could get the ball to a team mate

 

[Shermanator]

JZ is the logical choice my next choice would be Kayne Turner, at least if the opposition had a crack at one of his boys he would rip their arms off to stop them. We need someone with c*** running the show!

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

He mightn't be the best captain going around, but he's one of our most important players. Anyone suggesting we trade him is out of their mind.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

If he wasn't the captain, would he be getting a game?

will let you guys sort this one out.

[Chadwiko]

Yes.

Has he been playing elite footy this year? No, but not many on our team have.

Swallow is averaging 21.5 touches, 8 tackles, and 5.8 clearances a game as a true inside midfielder.

To suggest he wouldn't be getting a game is silly.

Im torn on the issue. The stats look ok, but many of those clearances are junk and those tackles all seem to be the ones where there is massive congestion around anyway. I rarely see him laying open field tackles, which are the important ones. And his disposal is atrocious.

 

[King Corey]

When was the last time he said "Get out of my face or I'll rearrange it for you"?

Bit hard for him though when the coach publicly admonishes him for remonstrating after having his own face rearranged.

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

If he wasn't the captain, would he be getting a game?

Of course he would.

Baby Jesus doesn't like this thread. :stern look

I think you logged in with the wrong account DF.

I don't see any malapropisms. :stern look

Take him out of the middle where else can he play???? Back pocket at best. Not laden with the best foot in the comp........

Him being in the team is Stifeling Cunningtons development curve.........he's gone backwards this year because Swallow being captains gets 1st go. Basically because he can't really play elsewhere .

 

[HBFlanker]

Give the captaincy to Thomas, he has the win at all costs mentality that is needed
