Player Watch Dane Swan (Retired 2016)

[Anzacday]

you were referring to projection

Your default position again I see.
Two words; negative and fishing.
You've managed to excel in both areas.

That's bullshit, it's not negative to quote stats and I'm not ****ing fishing, it's an opinion I believe in and would be shared by most professionals in the business that would see a party lifestyle as detrimental, especially at the pointy end of a season let alone the most intense game of the year

 

[jmac70]

I'm sure you are losing it then, but hey you are pretty much only left with making stuff up so I'll let it slide

How did we win a flag with so many players making poor lifestyle choices? Swan, Shaw, Didak, Johnson, Thomas etc

They are all very very talented players

but the question is why they don't have 3 flags like the Selwood's and Ling's (who I don't see as more talented)

Aye there's the rub lil J

Because we don’t cheat.

And magically your abuse has vanished.
Please don't over-step again....

Well there's that but I remember an article (Age or Hun) that lifted the lid on us and the opinion from within was that our players basically went wild after the GF win while Hawks and Cats players had more level headed leaders that kept a lid on that kind of stuff (they still did some partying but were able to reign themselves in)

We had Daisy looking like a refugee from a death camp, Harry wandering around ovals muttering to himself and our own people talking about explosive off season behaviour that was clearly code for snorting coke... and there was a very clear leader of that rat pack

So if you think a coke and alcohol lifestyle doesn't affect you at the pointiest end then good luck to you... but you will never convince me it's the way to win multiple flags and create a dynasty

And yet we dominated the H & A season. For the record, Swan played in 20 finals games and averaged 26.65 disposals. Only 0.2 less than his career average.

Have you seen Hodge drink?

 

[Good Degoe]

Have you seen Hodge drink?

No but neither have you, you're going off one article, he's not actually known as a party animal and they didn't call him the leader of the rat pack at Hawthorn, he was just the leader that won 4 flags

 

[Good Degoe]

And yet we dominated the H & A season. For the record, Swan played in 20 finals games and averaged 26.65 disposals. Only 0.2 less than his career average.

So he was below par in more games than I thought, anyway I'm glad we dominated the season, they give you the cup for that right?

 

[Aishole]

26 possessions in a thrashing, then coughs it up the next year, sorry but that's just crap and Dane would be the first to admit it

You literally didn’t respond to any part of my argument. You are just repeating the same crap.

 

[mike123]

Swan wasn’t the bloke manning Trav Varcoe.

Conceding the opening two goals of the game killed us more than anything. Geelong don’t pull off their rally if we were 32 points up rather than 20.

Eh we got those two goals back rather quickly and then dominated the game for a while after that.

 

[Stoods]

The best thing to happen to Geelong that day was Podsiadly go down injured. Duncan came on which made them target Hawkins more and he exposed an injured Reid (still a silly decision to play him and Jolly)

 

[noideaatall]

I can't work out who is the idiot here. The dude in red or all of us that wasted our time feeding it.

What do you consider a par average? Swan’s Is the second highest, in history.

 

[Kirby]

You sort of have to admire the persistence of Good Degoe in continuing to maintain his ridiculous illogical arguments for so long.

 

[Anzacday]

His original stance had been debunked and he’d pretty clearly begun trolling.

The best response to a troll or someone you suspect is, is none.

Shouldn’t have gone on for this long.

Agree, he wasn't alone in that though.

 

[PepperFace]

Naughty boy!

 

[good4footy]

Ahh Swanny. Just tell your partner you want out. Don't force her to do it.

 

[Quicky]

Care to elaborate?

Ok and how do we know this is about Swanny?

Because if you have seen the video, you can clearly make out it’s him.
