Have no idea what your on about

Nick Davis on SEN Sydney this morning:

Have no idea what your on about

Don’t worry about it - it’s not worth explaining - just a lame joke based on the saying ‘x years today’

 

[hairy biker]

I assume this is correct (although I couldn't actually see it on any Sturt socials etc);

Sturt (SANFL) Football Club has granted Melbourne (AFL) request to approach current Head Coach Martin Mattner about the recent vacancy for its Head Coaching Position.

He had a spell at Adelaide as an assistant and was let go during the Covid cuts but other than that (and a half season at the Swans as a development coach after retiring mid year) he's only coached at Sturt; 69% win rate (110 wins/159 games) and a couple pf Premierships.

Recruiting a senior AFL coach from outside the 'system' just doesn't happen any more.
May not be the front runner, but I reckon clubs could be rewarded if they spread their nets a bit wider.

Would love to see him get a chance at AFL level - has done a lot right at Sturt. Would be pretty great to have both Matty Nicks and Marty Mattner in the AFL coaching scene. Two of my all time favourite Swans. The mental image (instant replay almost) of that chase and tackle in the 2012 grand final will forever stick in my mind - a wonderful moment of never say die (if half our current boys had that same level of commitment and desperation - perhaps we might have a couple more cups in the cupboard).

Jetta's run in the first quarter, Malceski's sealer and Mattner's chase, tackle and forcing of a throw in should all be inducted into Swans Hall of Fame.

My profile pic approves of this message.

Has Sturt on 16-0 this season, near 180%.

We should approach him.

Be surprised if we haven't.

Goodes soccer thru on one leg , Jetta making Rioli look fat and slow, Morton beating two to kick one Mattner’s chase-down to the boundary - Fine times!

Looks like it may have been open to the public. Spies are part of the public, aren't they?

So many thought Angus was going to be part of our midfield until he wasn't. Great work all three.
