    6 without Goodes: Win Lose Draw?

    Despite many who say no Goodes, no Sydney, what are peeps thoughts on the next 6 without him. I think we still should come through ok, though really, any of these can go either way. It will require a massive consistent effort. Forward line is clearly now our greatest concern. Richmond: MCG...

    Player Watch #20 Sam Reid

    This guy has huge potential and i'm sure he will come good with goals at some point, but he almost lost us the game today. What is up with this guy. Natural footballer, great to watch, but geez, his conversion rate is woeful. What is he doing wrong? How could he improve his return for effort...

    Longmire is Roos

    Has anyone noticed, that the way Johnny Longmire speaks when interviewed, his gestures, facial expressions, vocal expression, laid back style, approach and personality seems like Paul Roos in a Longmire mask.:p I guess after 8 years of sitting under Roosy, he's picked up a few traits. Have a...

    Jesse White as trade bait?

    If Jesse continues to disappoint throughout 2011, could he become decent trade bait, esp if the likes of Reid, Pyke, TDL, Everitt etc start to fire together up front??? Just a thought...

    Why was McVeigh Captain thread closed?

    I really dont care if I get black balled after this, but my thread on McVeigh as Captain was a genuine rhetorical statement. i didnt start it to stir anyone up nor be a narrow minded whinger. So because it raises contention amongst some, the thread is closed. I did not break any big footy rules...

    McVeigh should NOT be captain

    I've usually been a McVeigh supporter, but am convinced he should NOT be captain. He doesn't inspire, either by word or by deed. He doesn't exhibit any of the traits I would expect from the leader of a team. He doesn't lift the team, and apart from the coin toss, what does he offer as...

    bring back Nick Davis for a 2 season contract

    Bring back Nick Davis. He actually looks good. What's he up to these days? Couldn't be any worse than Bradshaw in terms of getting him on the field. Fit and healthy, he would still be a great asset IMO

    What of Ryan O'Keefe?

    Haven't heard his name being mentioned at all in any circles. I thought he had a very sporadic 2010 season. He has been such a great player for the Swans. Anyone know how he is going and what do we expect from him in 2011?

    3rd quarter fade out theory

    anyone got one? Really disappointing to see on a repeated level. I know coming out after half time can leave the body a little flat footed after a cool down, but same goes for the opposition. It cant be running out of steam at that point either, too early. What is it with Sydney and the way we...

    Does 'travel' take the edge off?

    Ive read a few articles lately including the statement that the Swans have to 'travel' to Melbourne, and how travelling can take the edge off. Geez, we are talking a 50 minute flight by elite bodied athletes and maybe 20-30 minutes in a coach either side of that, 3 days before a game. This seems...

    Finals Results Predictions

    Winners in Red Swans v Carlton Freo v Hawks Pies v Dogs Cats v Saints Swans v Dogs Hawks v Saints Swans v Pies Saints v Cats Pies v Cats This would be an amazing effort from the Swans. I think they can make the GF in 2011. What would be even more mind blowing would be if we got through and...

    for old time sake

    Reminded me of the goal against the Hawks 2 weeks ago when it went end to end from Jack to TDL. Finals here we come. PotXGpd_owg

    Do it for Kirky

    Cmon Swans, 5 games to go. Dont let this awesome Swans player go out this way. He deserves at least 2 more honorable WINS. Please deliver!

    what will be different in 2011

    its no secret that our forward structure is in need of major work and our biggest area of concern. So lets assume, for the sake of the topic, Bradshaw doesn't play much even in 2011, because we cannot and should not be relying on him, else we will set ourselves up to fail. So what is our...

    Swans defence top 3

    Swans currently have the 3rd best defence in the comp, behind Dogs and Saints (both with ex Swans coaches funnily enough). This is simlar to our 05/06 years when our defence was one of the best going around. This all without Bolton for most of the year. With a more solid forward line structure...

    New Forward line for 2011 and beyond

    Shaw - White - Pyke - Bradshaw - TDL Crumbers: McGlynn, Jetta, Rowan, Moore Sounds lethal enough What say ye? :eek:

    When will we pull one out of the bag?

    Can you remember the last time Sydney did the seemingly impossible. When was the last time we beat a current top 4 team. Watching Richmond defeat Freo was great today. But I can't remember the last time the Swannies did something like that. We have predictably lost against good teams for 2-3...

    Very un-Sydney like

    "We felt it (the Richmond loss) was very un-Sydney like", Spoken by TK, and by numerous Swans players over the past couple of seasons including Kirk, Goodes, McVeigh and others. Sick of this rhetoric from players about about how they need to come out and show what they can really do. Are they...

    Jesse White dropping marks

    Absolutely sick and tired of watching White ALMOST take a mark, fall over, or whatever. He has had alot of chances to prove himself this year, esp with Bradshaw being out, he could have made full forward his own, but he consistently juggles and drops marks that as a FF he needs to take. Not...

    how good is a coach anyway....

    I mean, if you gave any coach the same playing list as Geelong for example, would there be any difference. A good coach is only worth the players he has to work with. Like wise, take Woosha from 2005/2006, Legendary coach they said, but he had a fine skilled team on his hands, now he doesn't...

    Paul Roos to West Coast... what the!

    Please tell me this is NOT true "The rumblings from outside Perth are growing that West Coast powerbrokers are considering replacing John Worsfold with outgoing Sydney coach Paul Roos. For the second time in less than a month, reports have surfaced in the eastern states that Roos – who will...

    What's wrong with Ryan O Keefe

    I'm a big fan of ROK, but totally off his game for a few weeks now. Doesn't seem to be himself, having very little impact at present. any thoughts

    Swans 7th about right for 2010

    With Collingwood, Geelong, Bulldogs, Freo, Saints and Carlton above us, sitting 7th is about right for us at the moment, as i doubt we could beat any of those above us just yet, even considering the major injuries we are currently experiencing. It's realistically where we are at, which is still...

    Bradshaw in doubt every week???

    "he's probably one of those blokes who is in doubt every week - but he plays,'' Roos said when asked about concerns over the full-forward. This cant be a good thing. If he is pulling up sore now, & has floating cartilage, how the hell is he gonna endure the season and be the damaging forward...

    Kirk in 2010?

    First of all let me say 'I think Brett Kirk is a freaking legend'. But just curious, Ive only seen 3 games on tv, but what are peoples views on Kirky this year. To me he has seemed rather quiet, lost a yard or so of pace, not that he was ever built for speed, and seems slower to get off the...

    How risky is Bradshaw in the draft

    I know there are 4 teams who could choose Bradshaw before us in the draft, so how likely is it that any of them would, knowing that he wants to be at the Swans and has started training even. I'm not sure how it works - Does the player have any say in where he goes?

    Does Roosy harbour thoughts of one last tilt at the flag

    we've done pretty well in the trade, and we are looking pretty strong for 010 IMO. Without getting into a philosophical debate over the team vs the individual, do you think Roosy would seriously think, maybe we can do this one more time before exit, or is he more focused on building a solid team...

    can we win without mcVeigh

    White is the new brown

    after kicking 20 odd goals in 2 weeks, and with Hally gone, the coast is now clear for big JW to stand up. I reckon this guy could be a freak for us up forward. Maybe it will still take a couple of seasons, but mark my words, 2011 Jesse White will be a match winner and a gun forward for the red...
