Darcy Jones looks as though he has a Tea Cosy on the top of his head. Either that or he's a Rabbi. Same thing really

FWIW I think it should be Warner Baby...Hang on, that's already taken for when Ashton joins Sydney. Does that mean Travis will be Warner Fetus?
That's how it works isn't it?

He's never been "Chad" to me, and probably never will be.

I usually yell Cmon Chad in a game without thinking, or what the **** are you doing idiot, on grand final day 24.

Not needed. He's a gun

So what you're saying is he is a class above being ridiculed. That's only reserved for the peasants. Wonderful outlook.
I mean, when is it needed then in your humble opinion?

Just my Jewish friends might find an issue . It looks like a silly coloured helmet

Is this normal for the ticket screen to look like this until the tickets become available on the membership app. I maybe stressing to much about being able to get tickets to the other home games.

I wouldn't stress, mine looks like that. If there's no barcode come game day I just plan on going to member services.

Well that was a waste of five minutes. Might as well call this thread "The junk the MODS don't like" Then I wouldn't have to read it.

I would probably call it "Posts that don't deserve a thread"

Nope. Incorrect. The post from Edmund Hunt is perfect for this thread. Not the arguing between posters on what the **** to call Corey Warner.

Will Schofield bring interviewed on Fox.

His backdrop: shelves filled with beer cans, rum bottles, a tatty cricket ball that looks 90 overs old and a bunch of AFL player bobble-heads.

I approve.

Has a double fisting spoil ever worked ?

Having Fox so you get high def was great , Wheatley felt odd though like a radio caller.

Their scoreboard graphic is a shocker

I was at the pub early until i wanted to kill a couple of hawks and 7 was on 1 tv and Fox on the other and Fox was so much better . The scoreboard is okay , just needs to be smaller

I don't know but the tackling effort of our players in the first half last night felt like what I imagine a double fisting would feel like.

I've never understood why AFL needs two callers.

Listen to other sports and it's just the one.
Sure our game goes for ~120 minutes, but VFL commentators don't have any problems lasting the distance.

Actually last night was the first time I've heard Whateley calling a game and while he was OK, I'd be more than happy if it had been Hudson on his own.
Pairing the two together didn't seem to add anything to the broadcast.
And one caller per game would mean we could get rid of the deadwood such as... (insert name of least favourite commentator).

Hey while they are it do we really need a couple of experts on the telecast, three analysts back in the studio and just for good measure boundary riders who it seems need to be an expert as well?

Lastly I just hope Whateley and Brereton never commentate/analysis together.
They both have this predilection for using big words as if to show off their vocabulary.

Just listened to Tom Harley being interviewed on the Swans website by the Swans media team. He is a very polished performer but sometimes I wonder about the buddy buddy nature of the club where everything is always presented as rosy. No doubt we have a great track record over the past 20 or so years but sometimes I think we lack a hard edge at times.

Great post , it's 1 thing that shits me is that we come across as perfect and he will be perfect for the AFL down the track . We have to many themes and other crap going on , what about winning flags

We are wanting to be publicly seen as being socially accepting of every single thing you hear about on the news etc. etc.
Which is all fine. But we are a professional football team first & foremost so how about teach them how to be tough at the contest.
We’ve lost contested possession in 10 of our last 11 games. That’s about when our form dipped last year.

Has Harley discussed whether we will put a safe injecting house near the club facilities to accommodate any player that may wish to join our club in the coming years?
Just watched the Tigers last night with a team full of young talent.
That’s just not us the way they contested the ball at every contest on every line.
Happy to hear or read about the players’ contribution to society but it’s really important they get the shit that they actually exist for right first. Cox is not filling me with confidence right now.

We are just a nice club aren’t we.
Nice!

Great pick up. This is something I've been pondering myself.
I think we are too corporate, caught up in presenting and being the best workplace in the world. Looks like the kind of place where everyone is reading internally cycled fluff emails and walking around sipping lattes talking about their feelings or musing over the latest internal back patting newsletter. This is the type of workplace that has meeting about meetings and actually do sweet f a. Somehow perhaps this culture has crept into the dressing room and out onto the oval.

These criticisms would have more bite if we were less successful. OK, we've lost 4 straight grand finals but we made those GFs and we're in the conversation for most successful club over the past 30 years. I'd have the dynasty teams Brisbane, Hawthorn, Geelong and Richmond in front of us but I'd have us next best.

So yes we want to get better and win more flags but it's really easy to whinge and be a knocker. It's hard to actually make it happen. I suspect they're trying their best and I don't think we'd be doing any better if you were in charge.

Nor is there any evidence that our community work and championing social causes is a distraction to our performance. If there were I reckon we would reconsider it. All you've got is that we haven't won everything all the time but not all the clubs can win everything all the time and you have to be able to deal with not being #1 for at least some of the time and hopefully even find some enjoyment in it otherwise you're going to have a miserable fan experience. So, harden up and deal some losing you soft, whinging petunias!
