Thanks for that mate. Refuse to give Murdoch one dollar of the pension. Horse falls back on his experience under the shadow of the gasometer 25 years ago. Inspiring

Longmire's "haters are gonna hate" no matter what I guess.

this sucks

Is that going to have a bigger impact than we think?

 

[connolly]

Great Karl, Arden St was an appalling ground to go to as a fan, even when we won. #lolCameNinf was as dreary a team as their ground.

While the Waverley Park mausoleum remains the worst of all footy grounds, Arden St rivalled it for sheer ennui.

The ground reached its zenith when they ran greyhounds there in the 1950's. They moved away when the football club doubled their rent. Worst ground and club in history.

Not a hater. It is a love hate relationship. Hate the way he coaches, love him to go.

There’s actually not too many coaches that coach attractively all of the time. Bucks was horrid until last year & so was Hardwick until 2017. Pike was horrid last year after a good 2017 & Clarke has dropped his last 4 finals at home on the G. Certain things change with coaches which is a better outcome than changing coaches for certain things.

is Mills really too good down back to play him in the middle?

Just heard Jake (the Snake) Lloyd interviewed by Whately on SEN. Hopefully the station pops up a podcast of the interview.

A few things came out of it:
1 Reinforced what a humble determined young bloke Lloyd is. He wants to take his own game to a new level, particularly on intercepting.
2 He is fit and over off season surgery. Said he really enjoyed his first run around in the intra club.
3 He was genuinely enthusiastic about the kids at the Club and said part of his role was in driving them on.
4 Said there had been some small changes to the game plan but the major focus was still defence.

All in all, he was impressed as a decent honest young person. He's still only 25 so has a long way t go in his career.

If you listen to the Whately podcast for that day the interview is in there.

Huzzah! I found the link, scroll down until you hit the Whately podcast and then scroll through the interviews Jake Lloyd interview is dated 13/2/19.

“I am really fortunate that it’s a terrific football club. From the board, to the executive, to the staff and the playing group ... It’s a tough job being a coach, but it’s made a lot easier by the fact we’ve got good people around at all levels,”

"Swans chairman Andrew Pridham said Longmire’s remarkable record as both a player and coach “speaks for itself”.
“He is highly regarded and much respected by everyone at the Swans, and indeed, right across the AFL,” Pridham said.

I love a feel good story so I just wanted to revisit it.

Heeney says he doesn't like playing out of defense, hopes Reid can go back to doing it instead :|

It's the moment we have all been waiting for....

Nice PR piece just as the memberships are being flogged to the masses.

Nice PR piece just as the memberships are being flogged to the masses.

An article from July 2016 has what to do with membership...? Unless you think Ted is trying to increase membership on the Swans board?

He is just poking the bear(s).

Apologies to the Horsies. Didn't notice the date. Time for the afternoon nap.

If Horse's defendants are 'Horsies', does that make his critics 'Jockeys'? That's basically how I'd define this board : horsies vs jockeys

 

[scaryness]

Let's maybe not start categorising posters based on their opinions.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

There are many different shades of nuanced opinion about the Coach. Categorising two camps in direct unequivocal opposition is a false dichotomy.

Gee whiz is it that dark around here nowadays we can't even have a sense of humour?!

My man Horse is on SEN now with Tim & Gary.

Great! Thanks for letting me know. I just went back and caught it.

this sucks

We knew this, and we have been having trouble with facilities for years! If you live in Sydney East, Sydney CBD or the inner West, trains are often quicker, easier and cheaper if the destinations coincide. We'll be fine...

I thought it was funny Caesar

It was. I was not having a crack at Caesar but at the strange black/white polarities some suggest about supposed pro and anti Horse.

No sense of humour allowed until the toys out of the cot brigade get their way.
