Mods, I'm only in here to support my club, just as I was at the SCG in the late 1980's. If it was only a crowd of just 18,000 diehards at the SCG, still I cheered for Gerard Healy, Greg Williams and Mark Bayes. I only want whats best for the Swans future..

Mods, #78 characterizes 61% (Referendum 2023) of voting Australians as unthinking 'rednecks'. I note it wasn't shunted off the graveyard shift of inconvenient opinions (the Politics thread in the Skilton Bar), as was my response to #78.

Said 39.9% of Australians in the 2023 Referendum. If it's alright for Adam to grandstand his politiics whilst wearing our club shirt - then it's alright for club supporters to comment.

In #911, I was wondering in an oblique sort of way, whether we are a club to make the tough calls, or are we just happy to drift along in a safe comfort zone. GWS are closer to a flag than us. Geelong might be too.

In 2023, the two Sydney teams finished just where AFL House would like us both in perpetuity - 7th and 8th, and exiting before the GF. Join your own dots below: Geelong finished 12th, and now they've got Connor O'Sullivan. The Giants made a SF, and got within a point of the GF in 2023. GWS...

Going to have a huge 2024 season is Logan. And he won't have to worry about dodging a monument. Medium term, I suspect he'd stay - for the right $$$, as Cadsky says.

Good team Membling, but I would tinker on the assumption of full fitness. Sam Reid comes in for Amartey, incl. as back up ruck. Cunningham comes in for Fox. And a fit Sheldrick would have Rowbottom, and even Warner (2022 version) under pressure.

I think we've recruited well for season 2024...mids, ruck, backs. Mind you, for us medico/physio holds the key for 2024. Watching closely the develepment of young Patrick Snell from the Brisbane Academy, he has the size. Pissed at the Lions for snaffling up ZZ, thems the breaks, but then we...

A better effort from our boys last night. Harry Cunningham, take a bow. The pre-game message from the club probably went something like: "..You're paid good money, the least you can do is crack in and tackle.."..Credit to all players, they responded. Wicks..ok it was a sloppy act, but not...

Tuned in to Port playing the Bulldogs on Friday night. I was struck by the difference, Port's free flowing style, skilled and direct, breaking the lines, running for 4 quarters. Coach Hinkley calm and measured, hanging out on the sideline. At season end, an in-house brutally honest review...

Wraps to all of our defenders. They turned the 'Carlton too tall..' narrative right on it's head. Nick Blakey stiff not to win the medal. Heeney adds steel to an inside midfield that doesn't always work both ways..still issues with the clearances.. Inside 50 deliveries: still crucifying our...

Eddie sniping at the Swans and Dane Rampe on Footy Class this week. It's not the U11s says Eddie. Never misses a chance does he!

Dane Rampe: Best (not) on Ground. A bit fortumate against North. Luke Parker, Captain Courageous. Can we butcher the ball! ..talk about disposal efficiency. Good game Hayden McLean, and Buddy tried his heart out. Got some good young mids North.

Liking what Campbell brings, also Fox. And Errol Gulden is bringing it consistently. Can't help all the injuries, very difficult for any club to overcome. They went after COLA, then our trade picks, when will the vendetta end. Kick your 4 goals Buddy, we'll send an autographed picture to AFL...
