    Kids Corner with Tom Hickey

    Swans trivia, superhero chat and more. The Mosman Swans joined us these school holidays to sit down and get to know ruckman Tom Hickey!

    "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

    That was very funny. The kids looked like they did not know what was going on or how to react early. At the end of the session they were right into it. He worked well with the kids. He seems a humble class act.

    Is Aussie rules booming at rugby’s expense?

    The academies at the Swans and Giants are pumping out locally bred AFL stars. They’re also helping to foster a living, breathing footy culture in parts of Sydney that are traditionally rugby union heartlands.

    “All of my mates play rugby, and I went to a big rugby union school,” he said. “Not many of my mates around me were playing much footy, but I think that’s where the Swans academy was really helpful for my development. "

    • Seems to me that Eddie wants to return as president of Collingwood. He is now framing the narrative that:
    1. He made one poor mistake - the press conference;
    2. He was forced out because of it.

    Collingwood are in the poo at the moment: Buckley will be gone soon, and the salary cap disaster will haunt them. They will be out of finals for years.
    Then Eddie plans to step in, after all, it was just one bad press conference, right?

    Buckley's 'defence' of JDG that he was concussed was straight out of the McGuire and CFC handbook. Personally he could have evinced surprise that JDG was smart enough to know how to use a phone.

    I am begging Victorian football pundits to learn about the actual size of the SCG and to explain how 1 extra metre on each wing and 3 extra metres at each end makes this massive difference.
    Click to expand...

    I would use two examples of plays this year where, IMO, it is blatantly obvious just those few metres more or less makes a massive difference.

    The Dawson/Campbell 60m kick-in to the corridor, best exemplified at the G vs Richmond. Next time Fox shows the view up the field from behind the goals at the SCG, take a look at the space available in the corridor. Hint: there's none. Now maybe it's just our bad luck that we keep encountering absolutely supreme defensive structures at our home ground every time, but Adelaide? Essendon? GWS? Yeah, nah.

    The second would be the Warner goal out of the centre vs Richmond. I'd like to know a time at the SCG when anyone has ever had 10-15 metres of space to run into between the centre square and inside 50? Wouldn't happen.

    I don't understand why a few metres here and there are dismissed as minor differences. It's a game of metres, sometimes centimetres, where the ball is moved by hand or foot. The less meterage you have to use the ball in, the more perfect that ball use has to be. It means that unless you are a team of ridiculous skill level (like Hawthorn used to be, hence their good record at the SCG), then your game plan won't get off the ground. That's why SCG games are scraps and never high-scoring, free-flowing affairs.
