From the photo in that article, I wonder if the dark charcoal GWS may be difficult for GWS players to see in the late afternoon sun 😆 :grinv1:
PS. I love Phil Hillyard photos but he does tend to have very dark backgrounds

Good interview with Slick Wicks on this podcast (skip to 39:08)

So he tells the story of jumping over a fence in Manly, face plants and end up with 30 stitches.

Geez. Can the club please just invest in some off field wear for our guys;

AFL 360 was interesting tonight.
Swans number one inside 50 marking team
The team that records the most inside 50 marks wins 94% of games. Up from 72% years past.
Best distributor inside 50. Errol gulden. By a huge margin

here's the story.. Swans and Gulden elite!!

At least this crazy injury I respect for the honest, unapologetic shenanigans.

Well if he wasn't being tagged before he sure as hell will be now

They definitely attempted to put a harder tag on him against Essendon. He handled it pretty well I thought and still managed to have an influence on the game.

Article re Hickey and the Aliir trade.


“I understood, I was probably a second-best option for the club, pushing 30. If they could get a younger ruckman through the door they would have been mad not to, but super grateful that it fell my way,...... I’m trying to repay the faith".

Opportunity given, opportunity taken.

Much like Sinclair, a guy who sounds like he'll continually give his all and not a bloke who is ever going to get ahead of himself.

"If you're a midfielder you get 2 years to prove you can play but if you're a ruckman you get seven or eight to prove you can't" LOL

Gee he's been a good pick-up. Seems like a quality guy around the club too.

If one of those kids gets drafted to the Swans in 8 years we are going to see that video again :p

Agreed. Playing well but also seems a really positive guy. Wish we'd got hold of him earlier.

Not sure about earlier, only because I think the stars have aligned with his move to the Swans. Young enthusiastic group, genuine chance to be number one ruck, combination of all his experience at his three most recent clubs coming together on the field. Plus happy with life as the club has embraced him.

Add Dean Cox to that and we have a perfect storm!

I think we got him at the right time for all parties!
