Sydney Initial Squad

[stew42]

Would never have Jetta in the 22, especially over a Parker or Mitchell.

I think the reason Rohan and Jetta have had the preferential run is that they provide the x factor. Parker and Mitchell are modelled on the Bolton/Kirk mould

What, they're consistent?

[TheMailman]

I'm sorry but Jetta won't get games just because he was drafted early, Longmuire isn't that shallow. Armstrong will probably have to wait a lttle while. Rohan looked fantastic in the forward line towards the end of the year and will probably stay there.

B: Smith Richards Johnson

HB: Shaw Grundy Armstrong/Mattner/Everitt

C: Hannerbery McVeigh Bird

HF: Rohan Goodes O'Keefe

F: Walsh Reid TDL

Foll: Mumford Jack Kennedy

Int: Mcgylnn Mitchell Spangher/LRT

Sub:Parker

Obviously I want Jetta, Lamb, TDL, Armstrong to put pressure on fellow players to retain their spots.
Although I'm not the biggest fan of Spangher or LRT, Longmuire wants/needs a Forward/Back all round sort of player

LOL - more like not flashy - I think Rohan has a long term future, Jetta is a little too much flash and music. But if he does knuckle down and work hard, he could be awesome.
Parker and Mitchell along with Jack and Kennedy will be the engine room for a long time.

If they can be half as good as Kelly, Kirk, Cresswell or Bolton then it will be great to watch.

Crap good point forgot about him  :(

I guess you'd put him in there at the expense of somebody like Trent Dennis lane or Bird.

There is no way Mitchell will play round 1 without 3 or 4 guys going down and i think Lamb is even further behind.

he will play NAB cup as the swans normally play rookies

Spare players in order of playing potential
Backs - Armstrong, Everitt, Eski, Lockyer, Brown
Centres - Parker, Merredith, Gordon, Mitchell, Lamb
Rucks - Seaby, Pyke
Forwards - Spanger, Morton, TDL, White, Moore.

interesting that White played in the backs on the weekend though
