News Greg Swann the new footy boss

[Elixuh]

You mean Dillons plan to end up having to do absolutely nothing while pulling in 2mil each year? Swann and the COO appointment will be the brains of the AFL- Dill will just be Dill. Classic strategy learnt from his law firm days.

A strong Brisbane lions academy is good for the competition. Remember that.

Hear hear. They need to parachute Bartel into a job. Appease Tigers fans that way.

 

[Bjo187]

This is so accurate. I also like the Mr Inertia comment .

 

[Cmarsh]

How is this guy going?

Laura Kane got a ton of main board scrutiny on BF but despite horrendous arc decisions for some reason Swann isn't getting anything like the same heat.

 

[Iago]

This his first season in charge? Doesn't seemed to have improved the competition if anything it's gone backwards.

 

[Bjo187]

The rule changes have all been good, the game is much better to watch this year than last. As usual with the AFL it's the implementation that's lacking, but you'd hope that will be sort out soon.

 

[tiger_tough]

Another dud appointment.

 

[Cyclops]

Rumour has it the footy people are at war with the greasy hair ammo lawyers.

Hope Swann wins, this other mob stink.

 

[bzparkes]

Turns out he's just another snake oil salesman.

Things have gotten worse since Laura Kane got pushed out of the role. Maybe she wasn’t the problem?

It sucks for old Dil, because Laura has been a mighty soft target for him to continually throw under the bus.

Harder to push Swann and Harley under the bus.

The problem is Melbourne private school boys getting parachuted into roles, over football people who want whats best for the game.

This is unbelievable. "The expectation is that Ben Miller stands". WTF for? He was out of the area immediately and you don't have to stand the mark, hence the constant 'outside five' bs.

****ing micky mouse comp.

And a stinking Hipocrite.

Dillon appointed two people to take the heat off him - alas the Swann appointment puts Laura’s nose out of joint as Swann takes over some areas she was already doing which Dillon failed to explain to her. She cracks it (understandably) and bad blood develops between her and Swan and tensions amongst those working under both groups. Swann basically has the poison chalice as everything still needs to go through Dillon to be approved despite Swann and others not agreeing and Swann then has to front the media. Meanwhile we never hear what Tom Harley is

Dillon needs to go.

Swan rolling out this take is probably the dumbest thing I’ve heard from AFL house in decades.

Swann needs to be removed. Absolutely moronic take to say Gawn should have been left to run free inside 50.

All the AFL boys club that banged on about how “Swanny” is going to fix this or fix that can get in the bin too.

I just saw on 360 Gary called it out as absolute bulldust. If only everyone in the media did the same.

Never in 45 years of watching footy have I been concerned about the look of the game. Did my team win or lose is all I have ever cared about. Crowds have never dropped off ever so the AFL have been trying to fix a problem that never ever existed.

Yeah he's not a woman

I just saw on The Agenda Setters that this doofus confirmed to Morris at the pressser today that AFL club doctors will now take precedence over the ARC doctors, only for someone from AFL house to tell Morris this afternoon categorically that Swann was mistaken and that the ARC doctors are in control.

You cant make this shit up.

AFL to come out with a press release explaining that both viewpoints are correct. And that the ARC has never been better.

That he is prepared to straight out lie on the Marshall decision tells you everything you need to know about the blokes character.

He’s Greg from corporate and if you add “ruption” after the first three letters of corporate you have him in one.

 

[TY24]

I'd be offering my resignation after that car crash of a press conference today.
