He is great at his job, just a natural sports nuffie.

Imagine how he will carry on when we win the Grannie! He will be so beside himself he will be talking in matching stereo,

This is probably not the right thread, but I just spent too long counting this up from 2012-R12,2022

Then a bunch of players who never got a vote in order of most games:
Martin Mattner (31)
James Bell (25)
Dan Robinson (25)
Dylan Stephens (17)
Tony Armstrong (15)
James Rose (14)
Tom Derickx (13)
Xavier Richards (12)
Toby Nankervis (12)
Mitch Morton (12)
Jed Lamb (12)
Lewis Taylor (11)
Trent Dennis-Lane (8)
Sam Gray (7)
Shane Biggs (6)
Ryley Stoddart (6)
Jordan Foote (6)
Tommy Walsh (5)
Mark Seaby (5)
Elijah Taylor (4)
Matthew Ling (3)
Zac Foot (2)
Angus Sheldrick (2)
Tim Membrey (1)
Michael Talia (1)
Matt Roberts (1)

Using the above, our best 22 based on average points per game as per the Swans board POTY:

FB: Aliir - Rampe - Hewett
HB: McVeigh - P.McCartin - Mills
C: Dawson - Kennedy - Hannerbery
HF: Heeney - Tippett - K.Jack
FF: Ladhams - Franklin - Goodes
R: Hickey - Parker - O'Keefe
INT: Mitchell - Warner - McInerney - Rowbottom

Hewett and Mills to the backline because of the 2012-2016 midfield. Probably too top heavy with Tippett, Ladhams and Hickey so could take Tippett or Ladhams out for player 23, Papley

Now based on most votes as opposed to average:

FB: Aliir - Grundy - Florent
HB: Lloyd - Rampe - McVeigh
C: Dawson - Kennedy - K.Jack
HF: Henney - Reid - Hewett
FF: McGlynn - Franklin - Papley
R: Tippett - Parker - Hannerbery
INT: Mills - O'Keefe - Mitchell - Goodes

Very mid-heavy

Ha I was planning to do a similar exercise tomorrow.

I worry all this work risks getting lost. I think lots of folks would find it interesting (it also reflects how this Board has seen performance over a decade).

If scaryness agrees, I will set up a separate thread tomorrow.

 

[Cadsky]

I've been venturing onto the main boards more and more lately and this is how I now see bigfooty. Plenty of Swans posters I've never heard of who have thousands of posts

width > length anyday...

That's what she said.

Hey mattpolo8 don't forget when filling out the Hall of Fame feedback survey, you refer to the improvement of making sure Tom Browne doesn't come anywhere near a club function again.

Whenever I'm feeling like I need a laugh I go across to the 'Rumours' board and re-read the entire thread on the McKay twins. Very funny and very clever with the funniest posts being those people who don't recognise the thread for what it is.

Pretty cool stuff with what Roos said to the players in the 2004 season:

I hope our boys this year read that, it's so true.

How good is the ****ing vibe at Espresso Bar in Kuta

Some Sunday morning humour to help with the hangover -

When Crows think their long sleeve is good - and someone thinks otherwise click on Big Bird for the full effect.

All season I thought the SCG was broken because "KENNEDY" came up on the screen whenever a player was taking a shot. I only JUST realised that a watch company called Kennedy has sponsored the AFL

The first time I saw it, I thought it was supposed to be the players name that was taking the shot and they'd gotten it wrong

Yep, that's exactly what I've been thinking all year! I came across it on the AFL app today which made me think it was something else
