“I cannot wait until next year when you’re playing in red and white.” That was the comment from a young Sydney star during a practice match last week, about one of the hottest out-of-contract commodities on the market.

Could young Blue become a Swans King?

Carlton’s Tom De Koning, known to his teammates as “King”, is about to be the subject of a royal rumble for his services. Plus, North Melbourne’s unusual pitch for Jack Bowes and the story behind a practice game cut short.

Nathan Buckley on SEN yesterday was glowing in his praise of us on and off the field , worth a listen .
I don't really give a rats tossbag about what so called journo's and d head ex players

Bucks has been a big fan of ours for a long time. He only ever has positive things to say about us, which is refreshing. If he ever got back into coaching I could see him at the Swans.

I like Buckley. A man's man. Tells it as it is. Has compassion for others. A real person in the media.
The only thing I don't like about him is he coached Collingwood. I always wanted him to win as a coach, but I wanted his side to lose.

He'll be fine by R1

 

[caesar88]

He'll be fine by R1

Yet won't have had much match fitness, hasn't had any exposure against opposition, and a more experienced rival for his spot played really well on Friday night.

Good that his injury isn't anything serious but he won't play round 1.

Short video of interview with Papley. (Longer version will probably turn up on Swans site at some point).

Paps sounding like a senior citizen as he refers to the "kids".

Praises Gulden.."he's gone to another level, he's such a smart player"

[Callipygian]

Ticky, you do a great job posting up so many media articles - thank you! Do you find time to read/view/listen to them first? If so, could you give some indication of whether you think they're worthwhile looking at when you post them?

 

[Callipygian]

Generally I quite like Kane Cornes - I know he's out there with his opinions but he's aiming to give an opinion and entertain and I don't mind it (much better than the sanctimonious 'Damo'). However, with his commentary on TDK, Cornes is making a complete dick of himself.

I try not to define whether its worth a look because that would be my own opinion. I can go back to the 'Lazybits' tag which I was using last year - this indicates that some of the articles are part of an overall Bulk team assessment if you think that helps.

I don't remember the 'Lazybits' tag but I'm quite happy to have your opinion. It's only one opinion and I'm able to decide I want to look for myself and to disagree if I disagree. I didn't even mean for you to gloss the content of the article (that could be even better) - just to say something like "nothing new here" or "some interesting points including X idea" or even "uninformed drivel - waste of time!" Anyway, I realise you already do so much, so I'm not wanting to overburden you - rather I'm indicating I'd be grateful if you did put something like that with your posts if you have the time and inclination. Just one poster's 2c worth.
