I don't mind it too much if it's not a hugely long-term extension
What about me? A great tune by Moving Pictures!

I’ve mentioned this for the last 3-4 weeks
The BS story that he walked out on the club was just crap
Glad he’s staying

good he staying so why do we need borlayce (deliberately mispelled)
I'm sorry, an announcement? Of what? An extension?
He's contracted for next year.
We do probably need four KPDs on the list
That said, signing Borlase for more than one year is baffling if Keane's staying
More years and money apparently
we got five
butts
murray
worrell
keane
curtin (possibly one day if not mid)
we dont need 6
borlase
clearly not getting luko

Fact is we left ourselves vulnerable to an umpiring error (of which there are numerous every game) through our own dismal play.
Another fact, that when faced with expectation this year we produced remarkably similar football to our first half Swans performance.
I know it's easier to blame the goal umpire but only a perennial loser would do so.
I think Tex was always going to get another year. Once we let it go past the last home game we were obviously going to re sign him.
I wouldn't be surprised if it did have an impact on Luko's decision though. He was reported to be leaving the suns as he wants to play forward. With Tex, Fog and RT all up forward next year, there isn't much room for Luko. He would likely be playing further up the ground if he comes to us.

Worrell not suited to play as a genuine KPD, he should develop into more a Tom Stewart role, I’m also not keen to see Curtin play in a genuine KPD role unless needed

Worrell could maybe play there, if need. Curtin absolutely not, though
Luko won't be played in defence if he comes here

Nah Woz is totally capable of playing taller these days

That inside trading article couldn't make it any clearer to me that Luko is gone.
Glad he is staying too, but how does that leave us with list spots? Guessing that may push someone like Bond to the rookie list.

That is an insane position to take...as if we are expected to be 10 goals up in every game like other sides don't also play good footy against us. Sydney played great footy 1st half and we did 2nd half and were completely robbed by something that should have been reviewed and then overturned there and then when the field umpires who had ultimate discretion to recall play once they realised our entire side were up in arms about the non goal call.

Where is a link not behind a paywall?
Barrass nominated Hawthorn already.
Found it
Suns mid to stay, Tigers up bid for free agent, Saints coach exits

It's kinda damning. "We can change our style or Jack can change the way he plays"
Probably forgot to mention Jimmy not fronting up to his exit interview....
No Intel in this, but highly likely he knew he wasn't going to retained so didn't bother going into the club for it.

Control what you can control
We can't control a last second umpiring decision. We can control our performance across the whole game. Heck, we control our selection and sub choice too.
Blame needs to be apportioned in the right place.
Our performances this season when faced with opportunity bore an uncanny resemblance to our Swans first half. Without any goal umpire howlers. Almost as though the problem was us all along.

Thats a strawman though as whilst we can control what we can control, we can't control if the opposition literally play better than us for part of the match in what is a very very competitive league. The simple fact here is that were were completely robbed of what was 45 seconds away from a win that gave us a huge chance to play finals ad as we saw this year, you can't just roll on and expect next year you will play finals and we might not now play finals for years to come potentially. So its the there and then nature of a completely fixable error on the field that killed us
Can't believe people are still wondering where Lukosius would play at AFC. "Not sure he fits". I mean, our squad is so stacked.
If you're using that logic..... he's just been dropped by a team 2 spots above us on the ladder and his coach is pushing him out.
