About time! That’s 1. We need 4+ genuine and i mean genuine mids. Not flankers to be mids

right now, we have no rucks.
maybe the debate should be 0,1 or 2 rucks.
1 is a happy middle ground
Started following the club and watching the games when we were still a joke but getting more competitive. Could have been the Barassi season, so maybe 1994? I remember 96 as the turning point. The first time I ever saw us be good.
Since then, we’ve pretty much always been good. There was a failed season or two, but we bounced straight back every time. Don’t know if I could stomach a lengthy rebuild tbh. I mean I will stomach it, but it will suck and I certainly won’t enjoy the process. It’s just hard to embrace the Swans being s**t. I’m not used to it and I hate losing. Makes me feel I’m wasting my time watching.
yep, I hear you.. but..
We've got heaps of young crew, next year there's two very promising mids in the academy to add to the youngsters. Also it looks like we may loose Jones, so could be good to trade in a replacement 23 - 25yo mid

Commentary last night was that we’re years away from finals contention.
I wasn’t sure if we resemble or resent that remark.

Or we can take two top 10 picks to the draft. Then we have the Saints 2nd to trade if need be

But we do have rucks, we have 2 (fit) and played one of them last night. Quite a few, including me responded to a post that stated that everyone (mostly) plays with just one. It was incorrect and proven so. I have no idea why I would be quoted on this

Is this now the draft thread?

I think it looks a long way off, you can change a list quick if you are aggressive but can’t see that happening

Air triangle, you would’ve heard it just after the final siren last night surely?

You are cutting Papley too much slack. So Florent, Hayward & Heeney were average because they weren’t in form, but Papley was average because he had to do everything?
Not how I saw it, he was just poor! Plain and simple. Same as the rest. Made dumb decisions and couldn’t execute the simplest of skills. Should of had his first goal under his belt in the first five or so minutes but a simple dropped mark basically set the tone for our night skill-wise. Then nearly everything he touched after that turned to ****.
I don’t like singling out youngsters but if we’re gonna roast them then one of the youngsters in our leadership group should be fair play too.
Unfortunately just goes to show where Kennedy is at.

I love how full * this board goes after a loss.
Some of the swans passages of play last night were absolutely mint.
Especially off half back.
Big Gez in the comm box thought so as well.

Would have to be you would think. Unlike a player who constantly gets it and butchers it it's a lot more concerning when a player who has all the attributes is Invisible. Hayward is doing a better Gary Rohan impersonation than Gary Rohan.
Ridiculous.

Mills has had an underrated run of form recently.
Hayden McLean made a good showing of himself on debut given he was essentially triple teamed by Sandilands, Lobb and Darcy.
Rampe should be an All-Australian lock IMO
Pretty ugly game, the effort was there but we lack a competence in executing basic skills and it seems to be the case for number of years.

Melican may improve and I hope he does but at the moment he is bordering on a Vaudeville act. Oh ! And mentioned in the same breath as Grundy is complete blasphemy.
