and the myth of Perris being from our academy continues
Bad news regarding his knee still but he'll still be given the time to prove himself

Interesting that Heeney wasn't even mentioned in dispatches early last season. But because he touched up a couple of the so called best draft potentials while playing in the TAC Cup he was suddenly a top 5 pick. A few people I know rate him top 10-15 but hardly top 5. Interesting the other day the journalist rated him top 3. bloody confusing. I know from reading articles, Isaac and his family are sick and tired of all the fuss and his name being a catch-cry for Academy baiting. The fact is we did get a good deal on all the Academy picks but they have yet to prove anything yet. Funny nobody gave a s**t that we could get Perris under the old Scholarship Scheme on the Rookie list even though he would have been top 20 as well.

One of the problems I had was the kick ins and the fact they were far too structured and predictable. There were only a few scenarios. Mal kicks to himself goes for run, hb to Macca, gets hb back kicks. Mal kicks short kick gets hb from recipient on way out kicks long to nobody. Mal kicks long to pack. Mal & Macca wax ball until it comes unstuck. I don't think we were ever the best at bringing in the ball, too slow & predictable. Where we won a lot of ball was our defensive structure and the mids running back to help. We rebounded more from turnovers than any other side. The kick ins were only 50% effective and that includes balls to a pack to get ball out of bounds.
I think Mal leaving might just make us a little less predictable but we need to use Macca in a different role not just replace Mal with another player who will play the same defensive role and wax with Macca.

Excuse me but Perris was at the Academy. He was taken as a Scholarship player but he was on the Swans Academy list. try these articles and the Academy list;

It means the umpire has to interpret whether a player has plenty of time or not. Not a good situation when umpires need to interpret as they are s**t at it and all of them interpret differently.

Funny you know he played defence in his junior footy and his brother was the forward. Now it seems they are shifting to their atural roles. Ben forward, if he ever gets off the injury list, Sam back.

Yeah that was my issue. Each ump being different and some being somewhat biased

The myth is he was taken as an Academy pick, not as a scholarship player pick regardless of the fact he was in the Academy as you point out. Your basically feeding the myth in answering in the way you did because a) I'm not stupid as to how how Perris came to us and b) I was responding to an article calling him an academy pick when he isn't thus "the myth"

This is your post;
'and the myth of Perris being from our academy continues
'that would suggest that Perris has never been to the Academy. Has never been a member of the Academy. What you should have said was the 'myth that he was taken as an Academy Pick' still persists not that he is from our Academy. He is definitely from our Academy. He was one of the inaugeral members of our Academy! So I am nit picking just as you usually do. Be specific or be ready to cop flack mate.
Give it a rest , who cares. He's one of ours.This is your post;

Ok now that we have settled the question of how Perris came to us let's return to topic please.
My preseason training is getting some solid game time in now. Today I watched for the 2006 qualifying final.
I loved how the fat boy wets himself. "Front row tickets to Subiaco $55. Getting a face full of a rampaging Micky O, priceless".

There is a vacancy on the Commission.
Former Channel Nine boss Jeff Browne has been linked to the role. It’s been reported Browne has the support of Collingwood president Eddie McGuire and West Coast chairman Alan Cransberg, two people who are on the nominations sub-committee.
McGuire also has a strong relationship Long.

This is why McGuire word is taken as a gospel he has a hand and influence in every AFL position.
