Good piece on McCartin

'I know what forwards hate': Inside McCartin's backline renaissance

An incidental coaching masterstroke led Sydney's Tom McCartin to the backline, but he's embracing the move

www.afl.com.au

McCartin briefly returned to his first craft in Sydney's derby defeat, when an attempted match-winning goal from beyond 60 metres fell short after the final siren.
"I was hoping it'd be a Malcolm Blight torp. I'll keep practising," he said.

No one saw Heeney's selection coming....not sure how I feel about him playing. Recently that's not worked well for us

Teams: Crows dump veteran; mass changes for Magpies

According to the Swans website;
"The specialist he saw this week gave him (Heeney) the all clear and he's really confident, he feels good, he's trained this week and again today," Longmire said.

I think where it's different (hopefully) from the Rampe injury is that Dane had a plate inserted and played 3 subsequent games, but then the plate was dislodged and he had to have further surgery.

Isaac's break didn't require surgery and appears at the lower end of the scale so hopefully all will be right.

Better be small, the incident was him initiating a hit. Sigh, the luck sometimes

Luck or stupidity? You could argue Heeney is worth an extra handful of points a game... those would have been helpful last week

Did we give Heeney a week off for a "broken hand" so he didn't get a 2 week suspension for a behind the ball strike? #conspiracytheory

Hahaha, I remember seeing the footage and the outrage that some had.

Literally no one reacted except the bloke who broke his hand. Never seen a guy get punched in the head and not reacting at all.

King kicks five as Suns thump Swans, raising tough questions for Sydney

Sydney could make some excuses going into this match against Gold Coast, but on the end of a 40-point belting, a few home truths need to be told.

Yay academy is safe again.

I was gunna set up a stand alone thread but selfishly realised Ticky would venge out on me.

I am not one to support threads about individuals. However Ticky009 and folk like SwansProudly go above and beyond in keeping us dullards better informed than we have a right to be. They make this place a better joint (no pun) for all of us.

Not one but two busted up ankles is a monumental challenge. Having met the redoubtable Tickerama I am confident that she will be back on her pegs soon.

Get better Ticky and FFS avoid some of the Club's former rehab specialists.

She's a bloody legend is Ticky009 . Seeing as she will be off her feet for a while though, I fully expect not a single piece of audio, print, video to be missed. She's got to fill in her time somehow.

Swans hopeful of Rampe return as Geelong’s two towers loom

Isaac Heeney surprised even himself with his rapid recovery from a broken hand. Now the Swans need Dane Rampe, famous for his recuperative powers, to follow suit.

[bedford]

It wasn't on for long yesterday on SEN , but Justin Leppitch is a massive rap for all things Swans and reckons Ramps will play this week

 

[GotTheGoodes]

And I think that's enough all. On topic or take it to Skilton board.

Wow.

Could not agree any more!

Ticky009 & SwansProudly are superstars & brilliant contributors to this board. I hold them in the upmost respect on here thanks to the level headed, smart, informed posting they provide week in & out.

None-the-less.... MEDIA THREAD!

Paddy McCartin on VFL membership day with Matt White on SEN - says Tom likely starter this week

Sydney Swans Forward Paddy McCartin | 28/4/21

Sydney Swans VFL Forward Paddy McCartin joined the show to discuss their start to the season and their Round 3 match this weekend against the Geelong Cats.

[scaryness]

Was going to post the 'your club's best debuts' article on AFL website, they had Fyfe on the image and thought surely it has be Barlow for Freo? Gulden was ours and was curious who others would be. But then started reading it and discovered that they have limited their available options so much that it is a pointless article.

"The only proviso is that the player must still be on the list he debuted for."

They probably just popped it in a search filter on some stats engine they have and wrote a paragraph about each one they liked.
