Who did we get with our COLA?
We got Tippett with our Balfours scholarship money.
Well that went well for us didn't it?

Wasn't he a concession pick in our second year?
Can't remember exactly what it was but he wasn't in the draft.

Zone selection but concession is close enough. Not that much different really.
Neither were our other 40 odd players.
Most of our players taken for the '93 season and beyond would have been drafted.
I suppose the Swans have only been in Sydney for 32 years. They need time, and a few leg ups from the AFL to really establish themselves. By the way people are carrying on, you would think they've made the finals more than any other side in the competition over the last 20 years or something.

52 players in the inaugural squad. List sizes have come down a bit since then, due to the removal of the reserves competition.
In a rare moment of WTF happened to my car stereo cable, I had to listen to the radio this morning. Anyone else hear Andrew Jarman say that he believes his nephew Ben will choose Hawthorn over Adelaide as his preferred destination? Better system, better football culture in Melbourne, something along those lines anyway.
Not that we can believe everything that Jars has to say, but this latest commentary does nothing to alleviate the fears and doubts that I expressed ten pages ago.

Pretty sure he was just saying that to get a reaction out of KG. Darren was on at one point and Tredrea and Jars were getting him to say Ben would go to Hawthorn just to stir up KG, which they succeeded in doing.
Darren ended up saying the decision will be up to Ben.

Haven't heard the previous banter, but there was zero reaction from KG this morning - Jars said it almost matter of factly.
Silly? Silly to worry that the reigning premiers, with equal claim to the lad, with a track record of getting whoever they want, are a threat? Yeah, going way OTT
In all honesty, if the AFC can't convince a local boy and the son of a dual premiership winning player to play for us, then that will be the straw that breaks it for me.

Don't stress it. Wish I could find that photo of him with Tex and Bernie to calm your ****. By all accounts he loves the club. Andrew Jarman is a pot stirring silly.
By all accounts everybody loves winning premierships, if he removes the emotion from the equation then it's an absolute no brainer who he would choose.
There are some people, who no matter what they say, you just can't take them seriously.
Then there's Andrew Jarman.
Didn't he call Tippett to Sydney three months before it happened?
Generally agree though, but why would be go out of his way to be wrong about something that he can't possibly be wrong about?
I can't remember him saying anything of the sort, personally.
Because it draws a hell of a lot more attention than saying he's likely to join us. Which is why Andrew does this sort of thing so often.
