Opinion Posts That Don't Deserve a Thread (Random Opinion or Questions)

[S120]

I love this board!

Swans run out against a team with a couple of small defenders: "OMG, they will run it out all day! DAMN YOU JOHN LONGMIRE FOR LIKING TALL PEOPLE!"
Jetta plays off HBF in an intraclub "OMG!@# If he plays there, he will be outmuscled all day!1!!"

I'm rather sure that I never get so excited to use a 1 instead of a !.

Btw, contrasting two opinions or observations that come from the same board made up of many people isn't a particularly edifying exercise. You're essentially saying: "OMG, look at these people who think differently from each other!111!11"

Storm in a teacup. The % of sons of former players that make it to an AFL list is quite low. Chances are that none of these three lads will get selected anyway.

I assume Maguire had his usual red faced rant about this news?

The common thread is that the different opinions are both negative spins. I don't recall any "our forward line will outmuscle those short people all day long."

please join me in my Facebook campaign to have the Swans website team learn how to properly use their fancy camera. this is like being at someone's house who's watching a move in the wrong aspect ratio. I can't handle it.

The camera work is still better than Paolucci's "interviews"

This is doing my head in more.

Everything looks like this:

When it should look kind of like this:

People are whinging about the dolphin park, but this is a much more serious issue.

She was a club media producer. Her entire roll was to produce positive fluff. No in house media asks the hard questions.

Just a 25% reduction in wide-eyed nodding would have helped

That's her thing. You can't take that away from her.

Agreed about the camerawork and 'deep' music. I feel any second the camera will turn to a plastic bag dancing in the wind, and the cameraman will lament on it being The most beautiful thing I've ever filmed.

In case people were wondering why a bunch of posts suddenly disappeared, I moved them to our Eddie rant thread, may as well keep this one for *genuine* discussion about the academy. Also, an opportunity to listen to our podcast if you haven't already! *shameless plug*

Jetta is probably to still play off the wing but push back hard into defence.

I don't think he will hold a back line role in the traditional sense.

The sensible one returns, well said . Maybe one day for a Perth WAFL team

I might be alone but I can see Jetta really turning it on this year. Have always thought this could be his position. You actually want to FORCE him to defend a bit while giving him enough possessions. HBF could work.

Increase you mean, right?!?

Maybe they're waiting to fit a particular figure?

I've just seen the videos from Coffs.... can I just have a video where I can make out the detail, rather than some trippy attempt at an art project!

p.s on the golf video....... sheesh, outside of Tippett and one other there isn't much to work with. You could make a fortune giving out golf lessons

Malceski was our best golfer I believe

Yeah, Mal , Reg, Laidler, McVeigh, JPK all play a fair bit I think

Tweet just went out - 28,850 members as of now

Should get over 45,000 members with 50,000 not out of the question

We might have to move to ANZ Stadium if we ever hit 50,000 members *runs and hides*

11 roads trips to the MCG would be a far better idea *runs and joins Eddie and Newbold*

Gosh I hope so. Suspect the discarding of ANZ might increase membership in Sydney this year by those wanting to lock in their seating.
That and the fact we are a great club, with a great team and everybody loves us
