Well it's finally here, round one. Hopefully it's a good game and congratulations to Dene White who will play game number 100 and make his debut as captain.

Where do folk see Stack starting?.....as a key forward in Perths very small forward line or in the midfield to kick start Perths 2015 season.....the likes of Ames and Simpson are fantastic defenders, Perth will need to get a few early goals on the board to get their confidence up I reckon.......if SD get away to a quick start, life will be tough for Perth especially with SD miserly defence......be interested to see how Ricky Cary backs up his 2014 year....who's gonna man up on him, the kid is pretty tall from memory....Latch maybe, as Billings aint the tallest and someone will be needed to rough up Geappen

I see Stack purely as a forward that could probably pinch hit in the midfield for very short periods,if we are getting spanked then yeah whack him in the midfield,otherwise for mine he has to start forward.

Height will be an issue for us all year,our lack of it and the opposition teams that have it.
We really only have 1 player with genuine height down back and thats Latch.

Last season we had the worst defence in the comp so im curious to see how Spalding structures that area up.

B D Johnston B Latch C Bateman
HB J Bell J Morton T Gianatti
C L Mckenna D White B Wolfenden
HF C Leggett D Arangio M Sinclair
FF M Morton B Power J Payne
F C Eyres A Tropiano D O'Sullivan
Int. B Stack, K Hug, H Tanner, M Welburn, S Holland, C Walley, M Florio,

No Billings

Billings has probably been rubbed out already. I shudder to think what this season will bring. I haven't been this flat at the start of a season for a fair while

Some one has to finish 9th.

Holland, Florio and Walley all named in the twos.

Not the greatest Swans side ive ever seen on paper,mind you the Perth line-up is not much better.
We just wont/dont have the firepower to kick a big enough score to win unless 10 goals can get the job done as i cant see this Perth team manufacturing more goals than that!


Forward line and our midfield for mine is a huge huge issue for us.
The forward line named,who are the goal kickers in that lot other than Morton??

Stack's been named on the bench but you'd think he will start up forward. No Collard or Billings is a worry.

Might be our best opportunity to win a game this season but Geapen licks his lips everytime he plays Perth.
