Ill very much enjoy my Sunday sunrise piss off the verandah (+2 goals)
Ill also very much enjoy my winter wetsuit warming piss not long after (+3 goals)
Ill enjoy my alcohol fuelled quarter timer (+2 goals), half time (+3 goals) and 3 quarter time (+4 goals) pisses while not missing a second of...
the seedings were hilarious.. First Crack seedings all failed to include the Swans too.
Oh well.. there a good chance that Geelong lose next week and the Swans flog Hawks, leaving the Swans top of the ladder with the best %.. including having scored the most points and in the top 2-3 teams...
Of course its more than just 'Heeney that makes us a good side'
But think about it...! Heeney is ranked by champion data as having the best first 5 games to start the season ever (since they've been keeping stats), Heeney is also a loooong way clear in the coaches votes, so is you dont like...
You are Soooooo far off with what you are suggesting!
Need to match within 10 picks & triple the points for first round picks!!!
eg.. A club finishes 9th, missing finals. They have an Academy or F/S likely to go at pick 1.
They will need to somehow get about extra 5000 pts as they cant trade...
quote from the article..
Melican has only lost one contested defensive one-on-ones, is equal seventh in the AFL for spoils (29) and is third for the most one-percenters in the competition with 35. A player who fought hard to get back into the senior side and has seized his opportunity.
they are...
We've got a footy tipping comp at work..
One rule is,, who ever goes the whole season without backing collingwood gets a 6 pack of beer or bottle of wine.
Ive received a ban from a post on the main board defending Swans fans for booing Ginnavin. I politely wrote something along the lines of...
Thats just another extended holiday for Clarkson.. maybe the 6 weeks and all his income over that time given to the appropriate charity.. Yes definitely got off lightly
yep,, the drain on his mental health forced him to take 6 months off after the first few games.. oh wait, that was because he was under investigation for crimes against humanity.
I reckon him at north is very fitting
Yep, Whats his best position?
I remember when Blakey was playing forward and Lukosius playing in defence.. Lukosius beat Blakey every time!
His kicking is elite.. long, powerful and direct. If hes got the tank, He'd make an awesome winger.
Maybe not strong / heavy enough for a full forward...
Always been a massive Lukosius fan.. Get the impression from recent chatter that he'll be out the door at the Suns. They've got truckloads of quality KPPs and theres no way they can afford to keep them all. Agree I reckon the SA teams (probably most teams) will go hard, and he'll be very...
Low ToG - maybe after 5 years of constant injuries, the fitness staff are building him in a different way.. maybe he'll play every game and increase his ToG and impact over the season ???
Huge impact - the list above suggests hes not the worst or even below average as far as impact for the 24yo...
Amartey - 7 goals
other young key forwards (Yes, Amartey is 24yo, but only played 24 games due to injury righting off about 4 years of his career)
Logan - 11 goals
Ben King - 10
Joe Amyss - 8
Larkey - 8 goals
Cadman - 8
Van Rooyen - 7
Max King - 6
Tod Marshall - 6
McLean - 6
Riccardi - 6

Just read through half of the first page.. got to a Mod who said "IMO that was sh*thouse"
too much negativity, not reading further
We won
start the season 4 and 1
Mills, Rampe, Parker to come back.. and Adams has only played 1 game
Heeney best in the game right now.. today 26 disposals, 2...
Imagine owning a house in Sydneys eastern suburbs.. no better time to buy and the capital gain will be Huge over the next 5-10 years.. much more than any salary
Imagine working for an organisation that has a very close relationship with Realestate.com, and HSBC.. what a great combo of...
Apologies....
but, How the f**k would you know?
You have absolutely ZERO knowledge of who is being paid what.. and ZERO idea of what different players are worth.
For all we know.. the Swans might have paid Heeney, Mills, Paps, Blakey (who are all on long term and therefore flexible contracts)...
This was recorded a few days ago.. dont think its been posted?
Richard Colless interview - 40mins
An excellent listen and description of footy life behind the scenes.

ps, only a couple of...
yep, would've been nice to see Fox or even Hayward playing on Vaustin in the last quarter.. I think this is a decision the players need to make during the game (similar to when Paps goes in the centre bounce or when Heeney plays forward etc)
Horse always talks about learnings from each game.. I...
Been watching Magor and Vickery as cover / eventual replacement of Florent, Lloyd, Cunningham, Roberts.
Both look good albeit Vickery had a quiet 2nd quarter.
Magor getting plenty of the footy and both making good decisions and executing well
Why?
Going against the grain here.. The fans demands on players off the field is outa control.. just let them play footy.. what and why things happen in that work place is often no-ones business
A joy to watch
Campbell, Gulden, JMac, Heeney, Warner, Blakey, Roberts (a pleasant surprise), Rampe, Paps, Florent, Lloyd, Melican (another pleasant surprise - geez I hope he stays fit).. and everyone else is kicking well (of course theres the odd shank, but best not to think about that)
If you scroll down, theres a podcast you can click on.. AFL: Swans Leading the new....
9:30 theres Swans chat - A few interesting stat comparisons over the last 3 seasons
31mins (approx) theres chat about Heeney - This year, as a fwd, hes the highest rated player in the comp by a loooong way...
Yep Cornes is ok.....?
But remember when he was getting up Heeney for doing backflips off the rope swing into his dam during COVID?
The whole Swans team did a (terrible) COVID inspired skit paying him out.
Cornes is OK, not great - feel theres a bit too much love
A warranted suspension..
I still think there was no malice in it and even no 'dirty / gutter' play
I really hope, that at the very least, the AFL has spoken to the essendon edge coach (whom I cant stand) about Drapers and Hinds actions - they were intending to hurt and not footy
haha,, I love how sh*t essendon are
ps.. love Paps calling them out too - absolute gold
As a side note, just had a thought with the discussion of red cards maybe being appropriate..
If send offs/red cards are a while off, or inappropriate..
How about,. If Wright gets 4 matches, why not serve...
Someone suggested that part of the reason Hayward doesn't always kick straight is because of the amount of running he does and hes exhausted.
How good was Haywards 1st goal on the weekend (Swans 2 goals down very early, so a crucial goal), a banana from 45m out. He was breathing hard! Watching...
