I have serious concerns with Logan TBH. The whole thing just doesn't seem to add up. It's not just a nasty run of injuries which were the same.

Shit happens in sport injuries

 

[SwansLifer]

Shit happens in sport injuries

Yeah maybe. The organisation should be looking into it though.

 

[bedford]

Yeah maybe. The organisation should be looking into it though.

Do you mean the club ?

 

[SwansLifer]

Do you mean the club ?

No. We don't live in the 70s and 80s any more. Clubs are from the VFL days when you and your boys used to get $50 drink cards and talk to hookers in St Kilda. Maybe that's why you don't like them too much.
We're talking about multi million dollar organisations these days.

Heeney and Warner turned in blinders and we still trailed against a midtable side for most of the day. It really highlight sweakness of the forward line. The defence held up, especially when under siege in the first quarter, and the mids dominated clearances and possessions against one of the comp's top midfields. But we're the worst in the league for converting scoring opportunities. We may be missing Papley and McDonald but we still had Amartey, Hayward and Heeney. They'll have to struggle on the next few weeks with Ladhams, McLean and maybe Adams in the absense of Amartey.

"The Swans duo are electrifying match-winners but with the margin for error narrow after a sluggish, injury-riddled start to the season, the Swans now need more from their supporting cast in the engine room to make a surge for the top eight."

Nine things we learned: Sydney is too reliant on its midfield stars

The Hawks need their skipper in form, what the Giants are lacking plus more round 10 lessons

I hope he is working in the gym on the rest of his body, he can build up for next season.

Don't like who ? never talked to hookers by the way and gee wizz 50 cards
Just liked going out with the Wizz , not need for extras

He's had bone removed, which is pretty weird and likely defective rather than straightforwardly injured or broken. Fused tarsals for example. Unlikely to have a firm timeline and they may not even know what the path to recovery is yet.

Wrap him in cotton wool for the rest of this year. Let him heal properly and completely, and come back bigger and better next year.

Swan seizes chance after 'mentally tough' start, but battle for spot remains

Angus Sheldrick impressed after pushing into the 22, but with the looming return of Callum Mills and Taylor Adams, the youngster could be the victim of a selection squeeze

I think Florent plays the full game and Adams comes in as sub with Jmac going out. Mills another week in the twos

 

[kickthething]

He's actually happy what he's doing now

Maybe just needed to be asked the right questions. Tassie could do a hell of a lot worse.

According to an article on AFL.com we are the Bad Biysof the AFL HAHAHAHAHA. Suspensions don't mean bad boys they mean bad luck these days

Nah, Mills is ready. He got 19 disposals in just over a half.

When they say a person has bone removed in medical settings they are normally talking bone spurs or splintered bone. Not a full bone. That would be bone replacement because you actually need those bones to operate your feet. They are attached to sinew, nerves (the nervous system runs down the spine with lots of lively channels coming out to spread the nerves all over the body. Damn ingenious. But unfortunately f you play sport you can get bone growth, in the form of spurs. These are nasty bastards that can cut off the nerves and cause bleeding because they are sharp in some instances.

I have Spinal Spurs from C1 to C7. It's extremely painful if one acrivates an starts cutting into a nerve canal. The headache is like someone stabbed you in the eyes with a scalpel.

See Ticky? We’re not crazy this proves it

 

[grimlock]

given GWS only came around in 2012 they win (or is that lose?) on a pro rated basis

Hate to say it, but that is because SCG crowds are so polite.

It’s no surprise West Coast are on top. Their crowds are 96% home team & THE most feral in the AFL.

Sydney home crowds are conditioned not to boo, but instead just tut tut and wait for the next rendition of Sweet bloody Caroline.

In 96and in the next few years to be at the SCG and the whole crowd chanting Sydney had to lift the players , now you hear nothing , we used to hear it in Melbourne as well . Those in Sydney are far too polite , to put it nicely !
I reckon it lifted your spirit as a supporter as well

I don't think it's just that. The general consensus on NSW footy fans around the league is that we're a bunch of theatre goers with no knowledge of the game, so even when we boo I reckon the umpires tend to think that we're idiots who don't know what we're on about vs oh no, I better call that.

IMO crowd noise at the SCG has been declining as a direct response to playing loud music after every goal. If you want to hear a chant you have to wait until the music stops, by which time momentum has been lost.
