Hope so, I suspect all teams rate their youngsters. Dont think we are infront of GC for example, oozing top picks in that side.

Agree, they should hold off writing that article for 70 years and get onto reporting the important things right now.

Previously would probably have been lost to a state league team (eg SANFL), so a real benefit of the new comp that he can stay at home and still play at that level.

‘It can be a lonely road’: Pyke out to take pressure off Swans coach
Don Pyke’s warning when he left the Crows about the increasing pressure on AFL coaches proved rather prescient, considering the toll the profession has taken on some of his former colleagues.
Talks about the pressures of the AFL industry, "sometimes it’s almost like a week-to-week that swings the pendulum”, his role focusing "heavily on strategy and opposition" and his admiration of the Swans "as a club built on the things that make successful clubs work."
I really like Pyke's appointment.
Offers a different, but complimentary skill set to Longmire and also provides a background as a senior coach.
As Pyke says “Hopefully I can help John, having walked in his shoes, to share experience, to say ‘can I do this, or that, or take that off you,’ to allow him the space to be the best coach he can be,” which should benefit the club as a whole.

I remember that game where Bolton was basically stumbling backwards on jelly legs and played on. It took weeks for him to be effective on field again.

"I wasn't right for weeks": Bolton reflects on concussions
Former Sydney Swans midfielder Jude Bolton reflects on his experience with concussions.
I am old school and from the get up, dust yourself off and get back into it mindset. It still very much exists at grass roots level as you can't convince some guys they shouldn't return.
However, lately I've been thinking very different about it and the effects it can have on some (not all) people. Bolton always comes to mind and "off topic a bit" the wrestler that killed his family, reported as roid rage but he would land on his head onto opponents constantly and I believe concussions played a part.

Interesting that they think Aliir will have to work to break into the Port backline. Aliir plays his best football as a floating spare defender. He may be flexible enough to slot into a number of other roles but he's never been more than average in them. Struggles when he's held accountable. It'll be interesting to see how Port use him and how we approach him when we play Port.I wouldn't call it an new role given he went down back a bit last year.

I always like coming up against our former players (as long as we win). Usually I hope they play well, except for Tom Mitchell who's a mouthy little prick.

AA will take over Westhoffs role. Fairly obvious I reckon. But I guess we'll see.

He says he's a fan but jumped off us quickly once GWS got a stranglehold of the competition.
First question the fan boy asked was about Buddy.
A terrible interview from this bloke.

Here was some of Barwick's work.
It's like he was reading some of our discussions on here a few years ago. He gets paid though.

I also liked the fact that Gulden finished 4th in the 2k time trial(behind Fox, Stephens and Clarke). Sounds like it will be hard to keep him out of the action in any game he plays.
