Is anyone considering Cunningham from the Swans as a rookie?

He has really impressed me in the NAB Cup so far both with his DT and football performances.

He also played in a near-full strength Swans side, came on in the third quarter and kicked two goals. Certainly done enough to catch the eye of Longmire.

Could be a good get, especially as Neale and Magner are now injured?

Slap

nice looking kid.  although there are a lot of youngsters pushing for spots in the SYD side.

I also look for my rookies to accumulate points without scoring goals - and if they do, its a bonus.  If a player relies on goals for their score, often it leads to inconsistency.

Capper

He looks good and Horse likes him, but there are currently no elevation spots at the swans, and even if there was he would be upagainst players like Morton, Rohan, Spanger (when he comes back) for a forwards spot

Good point about there being no spots available.

If I was the coach though I would play him ahead of all those players u listed.

And Slap he did score well without kicking goals in the previous games.
