Game Day 2026 Round 00 Swans v. Carlton - 4 March @ SCG 7:30 pm
Favourite recent memory against Carlton? I’ll go with the Trent Dennis-Lane rundown tackle on Armfield in the 2010 EF. -
Preview 2026 Opening Round Swans vs Carlton Thurs March 5 - The AFL has done what it always does when it wants attention
I’m feeling extremely bullish about the season. If that hunch is correct, I would expect us to absolutely blast Carlton right from the beginning this week. Given the lacklustre start last year, I’d expect the team has a lot to prove to themselves and the competition. Carlton are there for... -
Preview 2026 Opening Round Swans vs Carlton Thurs March 5 - The AFL has done what it always does when it wants attention
Harsh reality is that the crowd at the average Swans (or most other teams for that matter) game is not active enough throughout a game to warrant not playing music, etc. I’ve been sitting in O’Reilly for 10+ years and I reckon I could count on two hands the amount of times there has been an... -
Game Day 2026 Swans Pre Season Match Discussion
Thought it was about a 5/10 game from Curnow and he kicked 4 goals. Hopefully a sign of things to come. Was impressed by McDonald, Rosas, Serong in particular. Agree with others that Sheldrick, Warner and Clearly failed to impress. I was less down on Campbell's game than others, thought had some... -
List Mgmt. 2025 National Draft Thread - Beaten at your own game, Bidney?
It's a shame no doubt about it. But I think it's something the club would've had to account for when trading away so much for Curnow. -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Thread - Picks 31, 32, 42, 60 and 71
tl;dr Worth taking a genuine crack at a premiership as opposed to a) sitting in the middle of the pack with no realistic path to premiership contention or b) going further down the ladder and being 5+ years away from premiership contention. My 2c on the overall trade period and strategy. I'm... -
Player Watch #35 Charlie Curnow

List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Thread - Picks 31, 32, 42, 60 and 71
For all the talk of other supporters being one-eyed, there are many of you who are significantly inflating Florent’s value. It’s a player, who one year after signing a lengthy contract in the middle of career best form, has been dropped to the VFL in a middling side with many injuries. His... -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Thread - Picks 31, 32, 42, 60 and 71
I’m not convinced it is, on the proviso the Blues are picking up all of Florent’s contract. In my view, ridding ourselves of that contract is part of the package we are getting in the trade. -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Thread - Picks 31, 32, 42, 60 and 71
I would be surprised if that offer is not accepted. I’d have preferred a second round pick coming back or a 2027 first instead of a 2026 one, but I’m okay with the level of risk associated with the trade. Losing Hayward is disappointing, but a forward line with Curnow, McDonald, Amartey and... -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Thread - Picks 31, 32, 42, 60 and 71
Can just about see the SCG from my desk. Looks to me like Charlie is already leading up on the wing getting lace out passes from Errol. Put it in the book. -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals
Does anyone feel like Rosas is coming in as a best 22 player? Assuming health, I’d imagine we’re lining up as follows: HF: rotating mid - McDonald - Hayward FF: Papley - Amartey - McLean With the likes of Campbell and Dattoli I would imagine ahead of him in the pecking order. All for... -
AFLW Autopsy R3 Geelong v. Sydney Saturday 30th Aug 3:05 PM @ GMHBA Stadium
Really positive signs that quarter. Team showed genuine fight and determination to muscle their way back in, and then had the moments of quality and class when needed. Really like Ham's quarter in particular. Morphett too.- Words: 36

Is this what watching Gary Ablett snr was like? No joke, it looks like Chloe Molloy is playing against u12s. A level of dominance from a forward I've scarcely seen in my time watching footy.- Words: 35

Arresting a team's momentum? Slowing up the game? Kicking a settling a goal? Who is this team? -

Bronx cheers and the team getting a smattering of boos at HT is something I’ve never seen at the SCG. I reckon he’ll be gone if things don’t pick up by the end of the year. -

Wirtz signing would be massive. A real statement of intent. Beyond exciting. Definitely our biggest signing since Torres.- Words: 18

Game Day 2025 Round 00 Sydney v Hawthorn 7 March @ 7:40PM @ SCG
Unconvinced by our team defence. Not necessarily due to effort, but Hawks have scored way too easily so far. -
Game Day 2025 Round 00 Sydney v Hawthorn 7 March @ 7:40PM @ SCG
Not sure if the emotional post GF response will come more next week, but we’re owed a statement in the first quarter imo. They’ve had all summer to stew on their failure on GF day, let’s see how that impacts their attack on the footy, pressure and determination to win. -

The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread
His situation is quite simply nothing like that of a fan. It's his career, one which is short and where he only gets one chance at it. He's given essentially 20 years of his life to the club, and helped the club to achieve things that they haven't in a generation. The desire to go play at a...- Words: 140

I don't think it's justified to give Trent the same level of hate that Owen/McManaman got for leaving. The guy has won everything with the club and been a major contributor to Premier League and CL winning sides. No doubt it would hurt if he chose to leave, and you can maybe point fingers about...- Words: 120

Coach John Longmire - Part IV has resigned
It was definitely publicly announced when the first succession plan with Roos and Longmire happened. Pretty sure Roos and Goodwin was publicly announced as well. It's not exactly a crazy thing to do. -
Coach John Longmire - Part IV has resigned
This has been massively bungled. How can this happen so late into the off-season? edit: perhaps bungled is a bit of a reach, but I'm still curious as to what's transpired in the months after the GF loss which led to him deciding to leave. How much of that will stick around once he's gone or do...
