Andrew Gaze the idiot just did a big rant on the whole situation and the club has to stop what's going on
Ralphyboy you should call SEN and set that idiot straight

This all started as a hit job from SEN

Why the hell would any Swan go near that place

Far out

 

[caesar88]

That was my criticism about the situation regardless who/what/if/happened.

Perception is everything it can be quashed very easily.

Perception is actually nothing.

What the media/neutral fans think is going on and what is actually going on are two different things, and the latter is the only thing that has an impact on how the club performs, so it's the only thing we should care about.

Jon Ralph started the crap , not Gaze he's too dumb

The others just jump on it because it gets a listener reaction, even if they know it is a beat up.

Swans move quickly to diffuse tense situation between teammates

A Sydney Swans forward won't play footy at any level this week.

www.sen.com.au

I think bs

first report by Sam Edmund, constantly whipped by SEN, HIT JOB

lights will go off next time they talk about it with some luck

 

[The King!]

SEN are rubbish , sooner it collapses the better

 

[Punts]

Let’s hope so anyway

 

[bedford]

SEN are rubbish , sooner it collapses the better

Love it , great for a sports lover , do you listen to the Vic one or to the Tassie one and doesn't mean i like them all on there

 

[bedford]

Hi guys, thank you for being sensible! This has been a very sad situation where false rumours were started and people got hurt. With respect to the latest there was no snubbing. Sam was miles away and by the time he'd got to the drinks person the moment was gone and everyone was resetting for the next play. The players around him at the time, Heeney, McDonald, Armatey, Jordan etc get on well with Sam.

Thanks again, and I value what you guys say which is why I keep in touch with the forum.

Now Ralphy was that you and Mrs Ralphy with Sam in the rooms behind Volkanovski ?

 

[Ehswan]

Had a really good game. Good pressure, involved in some nice passages

 

[Ralphyboy]

Now Ralphy was that you and Mrs Ralphy with Sam in the rooms behind Volkanovski ?

Yep!

I felt for Sam this game. He was throwing himself around with insufficient care for his own wellbeing and copped (yet another) tough knock. I hope he's ok. He's had a couple of excellent weeks and been generally good this year.

we're a better team with wicks in it

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Has been manic with pressure and effort. Makes great and quick decisions with ball in mitts.

 

[Nool Carpenna]

Looked like a quality rugby fly-half with that lean-away handball to Harry for his goal.

Another of our younger guys that is really starting to consistently deliver quality contributions when called upon.

Similar play to the amazing Gulden goal last year. Draws his man perfectly.

 

[SSwans2011]

He's so important to our team, and I doubt most people that aren't Swans fans realise. Plays such a selfless role and shows blatant disregard for his own body. Love him, becoming one of my favourite current bloods.

ha, exactly what i thought ... wicks played that like a rugby (league or union) five-eighth or half, drew the defender and fed the ball behind him to the support player (cunningham) on the burst ... you very rarely see that in aussie rules

[The King!]

He is so speedy, Wonder if he can beat the Chad over 100m

 

[rustycrate]

He is so speedy, Wonder if he can beat the Chad over 100m

If the obstacle course is over 100m and includes 26 defenders opposing him inside a phone box style then there is no wondering.

You absolutely read my mind here KC!

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Slick Wicks Dwayne sometimes has good calls

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

He is so speedy, Wonder if he can beat the Chad over 100m

As the self-proclaimed arbiter of speed, over a 100m, Chad would fall a mere 9 metres behind the mighty Jack Hiscox. Wicks, 11m behind.

 

[SSwans2011]

Wowee, Jack Hiscox was fast.
