A contract means nothing when list time comes around. If you pay it out you can cut them - only guarantee is the dollars and only safety is how much $ in left in the cap. Michael voss is example A - being paid by Brisbane but not on their list this year. I have no idea about the guys in the...

Isn't Bevo really holding up Crouch's spot! As for McVeigh - I haven't seen enough of anyone below but Schmidt has been the standout in the ressies for 2 years so it's unlikely there is someone who will come in straight away other than Moore (who has footy smarts but hasn't had time to settle...

What about Craig Braddy - a reject from Fitzroy who was our CHF for few years and couldn't get off the ground but tried his guts out. Also David Brown - our FF after Wocka - kicked about 1.7 one night against North to lose us the game (although a future Swan Derek Kickett scored a few...

I agree clearances were a problem. Essendon are not a strong clearance team and we hardly moved it forward from the centre bounce with any clear ball. I also recall Spida palming down to two uncontested Bombers in our forward line like it was a training drill whilst our boys watched them from a...

btw, where the hell has ROK gone. I was thinking the same thing until I saw that he had 20+ possies - still more than most of our midfield. Bring back Schmidt. I thought the Bombers exposed Kirkies pace (not that he should be hung out to dry) and really our skill level was woeful. Dropped...

Doyle has remained on an AFL list for what 5, 6, 7 years or so...must be no good or amybe Roosy, Ross Lyon, Jonas, and Rocket can't spot talent

5. C Bolton 4. B Kirk 3. T Richards 2. T Kennelly 1. N Malceski

from what I saw - Wirrpunda had it on a string and only behind Kerr for BOG - that makes him Phillips man so 1 kick aint enough to get a guersney next week. Need more from small forwards i.e. watch Buchanan or O'Keefe. Also with the side WCE put out Vogels was wasted. Schmidt should have...

Don't we wear this against the Lions. It's the heritage strip isn't it but I also thought it was why we wore the hooped socks as all the maroon and red in the two strips made it a bit hard to work out. I actually like it with the black shorts but really like the one with the red and white...

Its only a rookie pick so if nothing comes of it then nothing lost. The posts all suggest its an educated punt and to date our rookie selections seem to have a good strike rate

well I'm looking forward to my seats in the front tier of the top deck of the Churchill which has become the spot for the players outside the team to sit. I'll look forward to letting Benny Matthews know about the Big Footy prognosis - I'll give my continued support though.

Can take a grab and worth every bit of a rookie pick to see what happens. Seems like another Grundy/Vogels mature age punt which hopefully comes off. Also in interviews i've seen, sounds like a reasonable bloke and appreciative of the chance he's been given (and who wouldn't coming from the...

To change tack - isn't Anthony Daniher's son already being feted by the Bombers heavily having trained with them. Does anyone know what Anthony sees himself as - Swan or Bomber and whether he would push him either way. I think his son supports the Bombers.

SCG is a stadium with atmosphere. I despise going to Telstra but aside from it being souless and seeming to lack that same atmosphere it is also not in my neighbourhood and I ahte getting there and hate getting home even more. It may sound trivial but you can at least go for a beer or...

Another possiblility in a few seasons is as a key position forward, particularly replacing a retired (shudder the thought) Big Baz. Don't think he is strong enough overhead for a key forward role. His running will keep him as a big onballer. Agree his work in the 2nd half of the Grannie was...

There are others I could mention, but my #1 'big year' guy for 2007 apart from the above list, is Jarred Moore. Very cruel to get an injury just as he was cementing his spot in the side in 2006. Sydney already had so many goddamn midfield prospects, and despite the departure of Williams, Spriggs...

Boy there are some tough markers here. Basically any player who is not getting a regular game each week is under the pump so Vogels, Grundy, Doyle, Schmidt, Bevan etc will all be under pressure to survive. You can't hold a spot on a list anymore in the hope of a going to be after 3/4/5 years...

Adelaide & West Coast will easily finish top 4 due to sheer talent, depth and home form. Then you would think Swans, Freo, Geelong and Melbourne will be there abouts again fighting for the other two top spots with St Kilda not far away. The Saints will rely on a good coach for a change but have...

P.s someone come and argue with me about talls on our list. I'm bored. Sorry you'll need to start it - have we got enough or too few or are they too short - whats your point of view and I'll let you know what I think

Jamie Siddons

are we talking about micky o now? funny guy - probably overated by everyone but all the players he never gets beaten by week in week out

No just don't understand how an 18 year old would want to go home to be with your mum who is only an hour away rather than be on the loose in a city like Sydney - childish (and no he didn't leave when he was 18 but never wanted to be there). Funny thing was - he was just like the other sook...

Let me know where to point the gun! The guy had an injury prone year - still as durable and solid a player as any on our list. Rarely beaten and that is why we are the team to beat. As for the Shannon Grant fans - obviously all went to the same S Grant School for Spoilt kiddies. Happy with our...

So our mid field and on ballers can relax - barring injury they are all getting a game whilst the talls need to be on guard because Grundy and Vogels are coming hard. I also forgot to mention that R1 2006 we also found a spot for Chambers and Richards - so there will be new bloods next year -...

You forgot A grade tosser. For a definition of over rated look under Shannon Grant in your AFL guide. That list of achievements isn't exactly world beating.

As we were aiming for a premiership last year how did Malceski, Grundy, Vogels, Phillips, Schmidt get a game. Last time I looked Westy Coast turned over a significant number of their 2005 side to win in 2006. He who stands still gets passed by.

Well I think we have run three ruckmen before - Ball, Doyle and Jolly have all been on the park before and in Eade's time I think we had Staff with Doyle and Ball (3 over 200cm!). It's not out of the ball park and with one on the pine I think Doyle and Everitt could kick 60 between them and it...

Bit harsh on Rocket there. In his first few years we were without doubt the dominant team - minor premiers in 1996 and until late in 97 were flying then in 98 we finished 3rd in the home and away before again falling to eventual premiers Adelaide. We consistently made the finals and he improved...

Thats right - hope one of our more durable, reliable and consistent players of the past 5 years pulls the pin. Not his best year in 2006 but he had injuries and he was picked as soon as he was fit again so that should tell you something. One of the first picked each week by the coaching panel...
