I reckon Swanny is more creative as a forward too. For such a little bloke Blair seems to kick all his goals as a lead up marking forward. Go figure. Swanny takes marks and kicks goals but it's less your traditional lead.

He doesn't have leg speed and he's too short to mark, which says to me that if we get who we say we're going to get (Treloar, Aish and Howe), Blair will be pushed out of the side.

Either way, he needs to earn a spot next year so I hope he just gets a game on merit. He did ok this year but each year is gunna get tougher for him and after this year he really has no value as a trade
That pic shows us why Blair gets a game each week...

And the coconut noise we better get used to hearing will be their heads constantly colliding...
Lol, it's like that scene in Flying High, where all the passengers on the plane are queuing up to slap and bash the hysterical woman with blunt instruments...

could you imagine every Pie forward player
going for the mark of the year every 10 minutes!
But with no one front and square!
Play the Benny Hill music now!

Yep, the Yakety-Sax tune would be on high rotation through the MCG speaker system! Have the crowd rocking in their seats!
