I doubt he'll miss many games next year with a knee injury. ;)

A 1st and 2nd rounder is the latest word.

They didn't say whereabouts within each round each pick would be. Just that it was a 1st and 2nd rounder.

Confirmed

GWS certainly cleaned up yesterday. First Scully, Power and then potential top 3 pick Coniglio choosing footy over cricket.

Sheeds said today in his Herald-Sun chat that they have 4-5 more players to announce. He then mentioned 100+ gamers.

Could be more 30 year olds on the way out anyways.
I wonder if his counting Power in that because they haven't officially announced it yet.

There really starting to set up a group of dad's army up there. Signing Ex demon captain James McDonald.

TOM Scully will have a familiar face alongside him in new colours next year - his 2010 captain at Melbourne, James McDonald.

McDonald, 35 next month, has been coaxed into reviving his AFL career with Greater Western Sydney as a playing assistant coach.

He has been talked into a hands-on role by Giants director of football, Graeme "Gubby" Allan, and coaches Kevin Sheedy and Mark Williams.

"It's a bit of a unique one," McDonald said last night. "A playing-coaching role."

McDonald has been mentoring the club's Melbourne-based players in a part-time role.

He has kept fit playing for his original club, Old Xaverians, in the Victorian amateurs. He played in the team beaten by St Bedes/Mentone in the A grade preliminary final on Sunday.

"'Gubby' asked me three or four months ago if I was keen to take it a step further with an on-field role.

McDonald, Power, Cornes, Brogan, ....

Sheeds bringing back Dads' Army. His finals years at Essendon were similar.
