Swans effort tonight

[Bruce G McAbee]

You do know that we were looking at Longmire but chose Ross Lyon.

I keep wondering what may have happened if we'd taken Longmire. Hard to say, both are very good coaches.

One of them has a premiership, not the one we chose.

[Joffa Burns]

I’m sure Longmire is a better coach than Richo but let’s do a comparison of the teams after we’ve had 10 years of COLA followed by 5 years of an academy giving us the pick of the best youth in the state.

We were the beneficiary of the AFL rules in the early 2000's but failed to capitalize.
We were gifted #2 compensation pick only three years after playing in a GF along with our #1 in 2000 allowing us to secure Kossie along with Rooey.

We again got a compensation pick in 2001 giving us #5 in the super draft along with #2.

First pick in the pre-season draft meant something in those days as an out of contract player would walk for free if you gave them a big offer. This is how we secured Hamill and also traded for Gehrig getting him for understand.

We took advantage of the AFL's rules and generosity but failed to achieve the ultimate glory!

Well, as a Saints supporter, this only warms the cockles of my heart. NOT.

You prefer the hawks got up?

Tom McCartin had 3 tackles.

Probably more than Paddy has had in his career thus far.

Paddy averages the same amount of tackles per game this year as. Membrey and only .1 per game less than Carlisle. So it appears that our key position players don't tackle enough but then again we play a midfielder in Newnes who can't even average a tackle per match.

From what I saw of Tom McCartin in the under 18 ' he is a very different player to Paddy. Outside of them sharing the surname probably not a great comparison.

Paddy averages less than a tackle a game. Less than a goal a game. Less than 9 disposals a game.
Whatever 'type' of player' he is - it isnt an effective one in today's footy.
Unless they change the rules to a 6-6-6 zone - he is in BIG trouble with his playing style.

Even with a 6-6-6 I think his poor technique and head clashes and below par set shot goal kicking would prevent him being a good player.

Lets get realistic. He is in serious trouble. If he wasnt a pick 1 - we would all be writing him off.

I though you were "I'm out". You created your own thread about it.

I asked the mods to block my log in.
I am still waiting for the request to be actioned.

He has all the ability to make it but concusions may take the decision away from us. Has all the tools to be an elite key forward.

What 'tools' do you speak of?

Can you be specific?

Leading patterns locates the drop of the ball has good hands and is fearless in the air.

Pretty much.

Fair enough, but you know you can stop logging on. Its a choice. Just like walking through the doors of a casino or pokie complex.
