I'm not confident he'll be on our list next year, he needs to show some point of difference to other's vying for similar positions.
So far we're not seeing it.
Lucas with his serious injury is probably more at risk because time is running out for him.

Think Ben C will be a decent player for some club, just has too many in front of him with his style of play with us. He'll win a bucketload of clearances, get his hands on it plenty of times but we have many of those. Hence why Kennedy isn't with us. Like to look at him in the seniors though before the year is out. Right now though he won't get in.

Didnt see Albo and crew volunteering to cut the fuel excise to help Australians or say they would return all that extra GST they will make on inflated petroleum product prices to farmers and the agriculture sector etc...Trump isnt the only one who can exploit or take advantage when it suits...

Taco explaining war and prices:

“Prices are coming down very substantially, oil will be coming down. That's just a matter of war that happens very, you can almost predict it. I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought, it's going to come down more than anybody understands."

For accuracy’s sake, substitute “subsquishatly” for “substantially”.

Leaving aside the mispronunciation, what on earth does that mean?  That’s not the speech of a lucid, rational person capable of clear thinking or considered decision making.

Losing is just not an option here.

We should win and win easy.

I reckon Derksen is a bit stiff. He'll be playing before much longer.

Boyd appears back in calculations after a year where he appeared forgotten.

Fog is a bit lucky: Evans' injury probably sealed his spot, although Byrne could take it away soon.

Cox reminds me of a rabbit giraffe in the headlights 🙄

Believe it or not individual teams go into Round 1 with different mindsets depending on their stage of development. Leigh Matthews used to build into the season, and look at peaking at the right time. I dare say Chris Scott thinks likewise as would Chris Fagan. Ross Lyon will have StKilda wound up tighter than a 50's wrist watch to ensure they usher in the new era with a win...... and Vossie has a new game plan that needs to show credibility and effectiveness.  So where does that leave Dean Cox and the Swan? Will their attitude be all about showing off their shiny new toy and how that one piece of the jigsaw is enough to take them back into the top 4, or are they at a stage where the build up to a season is the way to go. As is repeated so often before (and after) around 1 games, it's worth 4 point, like every other round..... nothing more, nothing less. I think the Swans in Round 16 would be a far more dangerous outfit than in Round 1.
