Don't worry Perth have just as many issues if not more than we do mate, insiders have told me despite outside reports etc the SD boys are up and about and very keen to build a platform for the future by blooding many many more of our talented youngsters and these weak as piss players that jump ship are actually making room for more talented players that are going to be the future of Swans. Swans by 6 goals

SD I will preface my comment with the following: I don't know the inner machinations of what transpired with respect to Elari. Given that I think, personally, based on the efforts that Elari has put in for Swans during his tenure at Swans that he deserves a lot more respect than what you have shown. However, if he had gone to Subiaco, then that may have influenced greatly my opinion.

Again personally I don't think that we can afford lose players of his ilk at this stage.

Not the first time that he has walked out on a club. We know why he became so disenchanted at Lathlain at a time when player management generally should have been much better.
Two sides to every story.

I cant respect someone who jumps ship when it is tough, yeh he put some good games and good service over 80 odd games but still an ordinary thing to do

its also ordinary that the coach is playing one our best in and under players in a forward pocket, he is not skilled or quick enough for the role.

Harding has to take some responsibility for the mess the team is in, cant be all the players fault.

Also he is not the only one to walk out of the club since the end of last season. Something is not quite right about the group this year. I think they should be playing better than they have shown so far. They are not world beaters but not potential wooden spooners either.

Lets hope this is Swand J curve tommorow at Lathlane.We made the Grand Final in the Colts and Ressis last year .Good to see the young blokes getting a go when senior players are not committed.

Elari gone as expected. Ugle obviously injured from the West Perth game, Riddoch in the ressies still. Potential debut for another few colts players after the great 1st game by Logue. Aiden Clarke has come straight from the colts and Brody Sutton after 5 reserves games. Exciting times ahead!

Looking at the two teams together and being brutally honest, Perth do look a 5 goal better side than Swans to me at this point in time and I think they will win on Saturday. Tropiano, Jones and McKenna look the best 3 midfielders in this game with only Riggio in their class and they could dominate the clearances.

Swans to win this for sure. Will put official tips in tomorrow.Dam

Cant have the tail wagging the dog, he should have just put his head down and arse up work away and things happen. Hey I didn't get the new ball every week but I kept plugging away until it was obvious that I should
