After seeing the great win by the young Swans boys in the prelim
it gave me a another look at Chris Yarran and Nick Natanui.
Chris Yarran has a mature body build and all the silky skills you would want from a player; but a few bad habits.
He seems to be extremely laconic at times; and drops his head when going for marks too often I think.
I was surprised that he has not been played in the midfield very much. I hope he gets a run there at some stage in the GF.
Nicholas may be a little down on the game smarts at the moment, as other threads have previously suggested; but there is no doubting his willingness to compete and to lead by instinct.
His athleticism, team oriented skills and sheer potential lead me to think that he ought to be our first pick. I'd definitely be paying Stephen Michael a handy wage to mentor him in some way. The kid could be anything, and not only that, could be around for 10 years at the one club.
Either way, it will be very interesting to see how both of these guys go against Subi; not to mention the whole side. I hope they win it.

I thought Yarran did not work hard enough even though he kicked 4 goals.
He has the tools but a coach at AFL level would really need to work on getting him to do the hard things, compete more and play for more than 5 minutes a quarter.
If he can make these changes he could be anything.

Yarran is a potentially a great player and I would like to see him in purple next year. He reminds me a lot of Kevin Caton but with the potential to be more like Shaun Burgoyne.
He will not get a crack in the midfield in the GF. He simply has not got a tank to run for more than 2 minutes let alone a stint in the engine room at the moment. After a few AFL pre seasons he will have.
Go the Baby Ducks!! $mash $ubiaco

The Mighty Swanies don't need him in the midfield - so why even consider it? Everyone who watches the AwFL thinks a team starts/ends in the midfield. If you want a blinding lead and a considered shot, why have a forward running around like a peanut until he's out of gas? Pace him, let him do what he is out there for - allow him to be an artist, don't demand a bricklayer.
If the Black Ducks get up and over the $ubi Lion$ there will be a pitch invasion that will make last weekends like a casual gathering...

One thing you can say about Swans; win,lose or draw, by the time the final siren sounds there won't be a car left in the city of Subiaco with a hood ornament intact.

Just seeing a few games he has the skills but he just looks like he is just rolling through the games. In the future would like to see him on the wing and see if he will do the running to both ends of the field. But he could do anything playing in purple. Also I would like to see a big name midfield coach not long out of football like Nigel Lappin Nathan Buckley

Shane - You are an idiot. I thought stereotypes were against the morals of this website.
Judging by the amount of BMW's, Mercs, Audi's and numerous other expensive European cars at Joondalup on the weekend with SDFC numberplates, stickers and scarves its more likely they will be protecting the car ornaments in Subiaco than stealing them.
Not to mention the $$Million dollar houses surrounding the home ground these days!!

This could be interesting. I'm supposed to be working, but I'm really curious about the morals of this website issue and how they relate to stereotypes.
And pie eating weathermen.

You don't 'watch' sheep, Shane. That wouldn't be ethical.
You 'tend' them. It's biblical.
Throw another shrimp on the barbie for us, maaate?

Earlier in the season I mounted a spanking second-hand winged 'Spirit of Ecstasy' from a Nedlands Roller on the HQ (after patching up some rust on the bonnet). I've been careful to back Old Faithful in at Basso all year in case I hook the thing on the outer chainlink fence. This weekend I'll nudge her up on the verge, throw my spare ZZ Top knitted beanie over the ornament and hide any open Jack Daniel bottles under the seat.
Thanks for the warning Shane.

I'll never understand why Brian Dawson let them cut his hair and sell his ute.

Cost cutting by the club - they were forced to put fly zappers in the kitchen. Brian now catches a lift to the ground in Bero's ute (with Garth and Robbo in the back under a tarp).
