Dunks on SEN at 9 tonight

How'd that go?

 

[robbieando]

Buddy to spend more time in our midfield rotation. I think that is the smartest move of the Pre Season already

[Punts]

Pretty much what clarkson did years ago besides starting in the square
Good on ya horse

Did you not hear that a few days ago from a reliable sauce

I did. Bang on the money he was and not for the first time either

 

[MarkP]

Well at least that means we won't just bomb it to him the forward 50.

Probably means we will bomb it to him all over the ground now.

Buddy playing more time in the midfield? Lock him in for goal-of-the-year now! He'll burst from the congestion on half-back, take 3 bounces galloping down the wing whilst burning off 6 chasing opposition players then slot it from 65 out on the boundary. Topped off of course with his standard arms-outstretched salute to the adoring SCG faithful.

If it's at the SCG all that needs to happen is Tippett tapping it down to him in the middle and he boots it through the sticks from there.

Strong, tall and a solid unit. What more could you want.

Not sure social media falls into this thread, but the Swans' Snapchat has been pretty humorous today!

Name is sydneyswansafl if anyone is interested...apologies if any of our older members aren't familiar with the app

 

[Danair]

Heeney voted the most promising young player by his peers.

Once again we are highlighted re: Mills trade while GWS & Lions who were way more active in this last year disregarded http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-03-08/draft-loophole-under-threat-as-afl-reviews-points-system

Eddie has his fingerprints all over this.

 

[Tedeski]

Rules on the run to thwart us from staying ahead of the pack.
Two years unable to trade like the other 17 clubs have.

We're doing OK with one hand tied behind our backs.

 

[Tedeski]

Eddie has his fingerprints all over this.

He got his father son in Moore.
Make no mistake. The Swans will attack Collingwood at any opportunity in the coming years.
We are becoming powerful enough & Eddie knows it.
Hence the regular undie change!

Another bash...clearly losing pick 14 had zero impact on us...we gave up Pick 14 and dropped to pick 33. Not to mention trade restrictions!!
Now with Eds mate on the commission we are in all sorts

I notice in that article we got "a handful of extra points". Yep. 17. And it cost us Craig Bird as well.

You wish they'd mention all the facts, instead of just trying to make us look like we rorted the system.

Nooooooo.... They wouldn't... Would they?

The bias is hard to swallow isn't it.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Shouldn't be surprised at in now considering how hard they tried to make us the antagonists over the last few years, and it has worked.

Thank god for Emma Quayle. Andrew Ireland is right on the money, the current system allows other clubs to trade their way up the draft order and they claim that it gives us an advantage?! I know we aren't supposed to use it any more but I think this calls for a WTFDWFT!

"A lot of the deals done were actually generated or promoted by teams wanting to trade to the front of the draft," said Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland.

"Clearly clubs like ours who needed the points were happy to do the deal, but those deals don't happen unless someone else thinks being at the front of the draft is of benefit to them.

"They made the judgment call to get involved in those trades and I don't see any of them complaining. It's a new system and I think it needs to be left alone for a while."

No where have I been told that I can't use WTFCIUT

I said it in a post a week or so ago because people were misusing it in a way that was against your original use of the term.
