Well that's a very dry sense of humour I have to say.
He'll cheer up after joining the boys in the circle for the song as always

Dal Santo frothing on the bloodz kulcha earlier on SEN.
The media get on and drop off the bandwagon pretty quickly don't they?
The King!
Chosen One
Damn. Would have loved that.
Dal is very good in the media and is fair, never liked him on the field as he was part of 2 s**t clubs.
PVF

Nah he's about the only consistent one. I like him on FoxFooty.

Bit early for any premiership talk but it would be the greatest flag of all time.

Correct a single loss and we find ourselves out of the 8 again.

Made me smile the headline "Bookies facing huge payout if Swans win AFL premiership".
I hope everyone got on @ $101

Bookies could teach a short course on that one.
Never write the Swans off 101.

lol. Well if you know the processes I go through to form opinions (such as the relative merit of respective coaching ability of clarkson) then why ask the question?
Id certainly be interested in knowing what you think you know about my opinions.
I place zero credence in premierships. They happen by chance in one game IMO. The merit of any one player or coach is determined by success over time. He's had that yes. But to eliminate all the other factors which may bias that success (batch of highest quality players; influence of assistant coaches etc etc) will only then peel back and expose skill. Roos developed a poorly performing team to success, left and then took a basket case different team (melbourne ) to relative success.
I therefore rate Roos whose skill can be unquestioned because there can be no other bias influencing outcome if it is repeatedly replicated in success with successive teams. Ok?
I can and will accord clarkson that regard IF he can start from a rabble and rebuild to success again because then whatever biases are eliminated (assistant coaches moved on, exceptional player group retired Etcetc)
In determining any decision you gather evidence and give greatest weight to that evidence which is most persuasive. Roos gets a tick on basis of persuasiveness of evidence. Clarkson as yet doesn't. Simple really
