I'll say it again , Chad and the club are as one on this , all both are after is a flag

I don't believe you. They are after multiple flags!!
Logan told me yesterday.

Good Rusty , how good would that be , but not for the liver

 

[Mister B]

I mean the most glorious and arrogant thing ever would be to have a contract drawn up and should we win the flag, do an on stage signing of your new contract while receiving your medallion. Imagine how much that would set the footy world on fire.

 

[Swannie0307]

While I have at least 2 ‘reliable’ sources , I think the main reason why Chad WILL stay beyond 2025 is because of our next captain Errol. It’s easy to see that the young group coming thru are very very tight, and Errol seems to be their clear leader… and it was a master stroke when he publicly made comments like “That's why you play footy. I want to look back and say I was able to play in premierships. To do that, sometimes you might have to sacrifice a little bit of money.”

So bottom line, “take it the bank”, the Chad ain’t going no where!!

 

[RilesMacca]

One thing I've noticed this year is Chad's set shots have been very good. Really good ball drop and approach, I'd say one of our most reliable on the team.

 

[Troystenvic]

Fingers crossed he is laying off the bathwater this week. Some players in our team needed a little reality check. Hopefully not too arrogant to open his eyes and stick his head down and just play football.

When did he not play footy yesterday !

 

[Tedeski]

When did he not play footy yesterday !

I think he missed a few opportunities to give it off & receive it back yesterday & chose to do it all himself & get caught.
This new rule is punishing him when immediately tackled & he needs to make the adjustment necessary.
He will get even better but does need to use his team mates more.

Yes he does but it makes him special at times , just needs to not bounce it as soon as he gets it

 

[Ehswan]

Sometimes when he is taking the give off option is when it looks bad. I think his decision making in that regard is what is the main issue. Im sure he is encouraged to take the game on at any opportunity. It may look selfish at times but it helps the team.
Id hate to see him pulled back from doing his best work.

 

[hairy biker]

Tom Harley pre-game (as quoted by Fox Footy);
"I'm very bullish about Chad's long term future at the Swans".

Derm during the telecast mentioned the "Swans era".
Chad might have to leave a few dollars on the table, but will still be very well paid and let's face it, who doesn't want to be an essential element in a dynasty?

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

He made some really good high percentage plays yesterday. Took his time for the best option not just anlways run and gun. Listening to big footy (and coaching ofc) feedback which is good to see !

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Apparently Ralphy said at half time yesterday "the Swans have had to dig deeper into their chequebook but he is staying"

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

What a dream it would be. This next 3-5 years is huge for our club and let’s face it, we need a flag in that period (or two) and it would be the greatest Swans team of all time. We are not exactly known for multiple flags in a short space of time.

You have to take the good with the bad with Warner.

If you want to see him breaking out of traffic and single-handedly setting up scores, then occasionally he is going to miss open players or get caught.

Exactly , all i want him to do is stop bouncing it as soon as he gets it

Rhyce Shaw went alright doing it.

 

[zyzzbruh]

I don't mind that he does that because then it gives more time to accelerate out of congestion and set up for his kick. If he didnt do the quick bounce, where he would normally be executing his kick he'd probably have to squeeze a bounce in.

Get the bounce out of the way and then focus on running away

 

[Superstar swan]

Really ? Must have missed that

 

[Kiama Chris]

Really miss Rhyce. Hope he comes back some day.

Currently on 28 goals for the season which is crazy.

32, Judd 29, Cousins 34, Voss 36, Ablett in the 2000s was getting 35+

He could push towards 40 goals, especially if we go deep in finals.

In good company.

 

[BloodySwan]

Does best when he has a little bit of space and can punish you with his leg speed. He's not that inside bull but can take on a contest.

Has hip power that generates burst speed rather than quad power.
