That was a ripping interview.

I know he has his share of critics here (and I have been on the odd occassion), but gee whiz Horse, to me at least, appears to be so level headed and so measured in his approach to the coaching caper. It is hard to imagine having a better leader of young men.

I honestly wouldn't swap him for 10 Clarko's.
 
Appears to be a humble and articulate fellow as well.

It would be great if he could become a genuine forward / ruck, his stocks would surely soar and he would probably lock down a permanent position in the 22.
I sure hope so, long way to go still of course.

I remember watching an interview shortly after he was drafted where he spoke about how he was bullied when he was growing up because of the colour of his skin. He seemed so nervous and unsure as he was talking, more than fair enough when he was talking about such things. So it's so cool to see him looking so happy and relaxed after playing a blinder in front of 37k yesterday. A nice **** you to the bullies!

Holy shit, Amartey has hadn't a proper pre-season in 5 years.

Here's a discussion between Lloyd and Barrett on our abundance of big forwards (from 7:04).



Lloyd is saying 17 list managers are going to watching Amartey closely because he should be playing As every week.

Lloyd was wondering who we should drop -- apparently hadn't even heard of McLean, though Barrett had. But neither seemed to be aware of the Reid and Hickey absences which was very much to their point.

It does make me wonder about Sam Reid. Even if he stays injury-free, is this his last year too? He was fabulous last year

Lets assume this year the best forward trio is Amartey, McDonald and Buddy, once Lance retires at the end of the year Reid is a great addition to that group.

If all big boys are fit it will be hard to make decisions on who is playing and who isn't but I don't think Reid would go to another club. Even if he is our 25th best player I'd keep him on the list so long as we're in the hunt for a flag
 
Lloydy going all in with A Major Issue with the Swans - is a bit funny. He's not aware of what we've got going, or the fact Amartey was subbed as planned on the weekend. Buddy as previously stated by Horse, will be rested during the season, plenty of opportunity for the young lads.

I'm not sure he has any clue just how well Horse communicates with the young ladsa about what's happening and our plans. It's a bloody long season, injuries happen. There's room to rotate and use the opportunities given.

i just saw that segment, and yeah, lloyd offers some interesting thoughts but then spoils it when his swans ignorance is exposed ... although he's far from alone in that

Say what you will about Barrett, but at least he knows the Swans better than most of the hacks down in Vic.

Pretty low bar though

Yeah I really enjoyed that.

What I don't enjoy is every bloody segment on every TV show only talking about Buddy even when he's not playing. Then just ignore our win and entire team.
Buddy is still the biggest name.
They'll flex either direction to emphasise his contribution level to the swans.
That's just the reality.
This time a year ago the first 25 mins of the Monday footy shows was the SCG scenes.
