Am I reading too much into it or does Swann seem quietly confident in that article?

No I think you are reading it correctly.

 

[James North]

Fairly ballsy ...

"He came up and saw us last week, so hopefully once that is done he will make a decision, then we will start negotiating with the Bombers."

Is it a worry that he's only visited us only the once and Port Adelaide 3 three times but swanny does seem confident

I thought the same thing but somebody correctly informed me that the first time he toured because they were interstate preparing for their game.

Not a big deal - I just think we're all hanging out at the Gabba but Port are still all over the shop a bit.

And not forgetting Lockie, that we nearly stitched up the Bulldogs in 1989 with the proposed (takeover) merge, The Fitzroy Bulldogs. Gee that Western Oval was a shocking, unattractive ground though!

No haven't forgotten that but respect how they helped in those last seasons and have the most respect for Fremantle for our last game. Whitten Oval was a windy place but the Doug Hawkins wing was a great place to watch footy.

There has been some confusion and misreporting over numbers of visits. From what I can ascertain he had one visit to Port last week where Wanganeen gave him a tour and now is having a second more formal meeting with Hinkley etc this week.

They didn't talk about football at our BBQ,just the 'real meat' percentage of Swanny's rissoles.

Have to feel confident based on that. Young family, wife from QLD has to be a deal maker.

 

[James North]

Guys don't take too much from this article.

There's a lot we don't know about the meat content of the BBQ.

 

[Nuggo]

Apparently he is vegetarian.

Just trying NOT to get my hopes up too much, but Swann does sound confident there.

Damn ... I heard from a friend of a cousin the other day that the Swans provided a quinoa risotto for his secret meeting.

Tofu on the spit I heard

Yeh that's a game changer, cross his name out

I know. He won't get anonymity in Adelaide either

Was the BBQ a gas fired or a charcoal number?

It was a solar powered hydro-electric carbon neutral burner stove ... don't quote me, it's just what I've been told.

I agree with the consensus. Swann does seem quietly confident based on those comments.

The selling point would definitely be the ability to live in relative anonymity.

 

[Simba Moyo]

Greg Swann is a very smart operator. I don't think he would be making those comments unless he wasn't at least quietly confident.

They cook a fine chop but are a bugger to get started.

 

[jackess]

Maybe we should go after Priddis. Most West Coast supporters would accept our third round pick.

Funnily enough a lot of the power athletes are going veg.

I always knew they were evil.

A graders only!
