From the photo in that article, I wonder if the dark charcoal GWS may be difficult for GWS players to see in the late afternoon sun
PS. I love Phil Hillyard photos but he does tend to have very dark backgrounds

AFL 360 was interesting tonight.
Swans number one inside 50 marking team
The team that records the most inside 50 marks wins 94% of games. Up from 72% years past.
Best distributor inside 50. Errol gulden. By a huge margin

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Why are you "not trying to start a blue", and trying to start a pink instead? Starting a blue seems only toxic masculinity and we should all be for improving the gender gap.

Why pink? That's completely sexist... you should be picking a neutral colour... like yellow.... Oh, I'm being racist now am I?

Toby Pink was inherently sexist & must henceforth be known as Toby Beige.

So he tells the story of jumping over a fence in Manly, face plants and end up with 30 stitches.

Geez. Can the club please just invest in some off field wear for our guys;

Well if he wasn't being tagged before he sure as hell will be now

And I think that's enough all. On topic or take it to Skilton board.

They don't though , you do a great job with this and the selfish one's destroy it.

Buddy Franklin changed the game, and he's still impacting it in unique ways

Despite the accolades and highlights, Buddy Franklin's AFL career has been anything but easy. But despite the setbacks, he can claim to have genuinely reformed the game, write Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson.

[TheMase]

They definitely attempted to put a harder tag on him against Essendon. He handled it pretty well I thought and still managed to have an influence on the game.

Article re Hickey and the Aliir trade.

Why the Swans won from the controversial trade of Aliir Aliir

Six months on, and with the benefit of hindsight, it’s safe to say the Aliir Aliir-Tom Hickey trade has worked out pretty well for all concerned.

“I understood, I was probably a second-best option for the club, pushing 30. If they could get a younger ruckman through the door they would have been mad not to, but super grateful that it fell my way,...... I’m trying to repay the faith".

Opportunity given, opportunity taken.

Much like Sinclair, a guy who sounds like he'll continually give his all and not a bloke who is ever going to get ahead of himself.

"If you're a midfielder you get 2 years to prove you can play but if you're a ruckman you get seven or eight to prove you can't" LOL

Gee he's been a good pick-up. Seems like a quality guy around the club too.

Agreed. Playing well but also seems a really positive guy. Wish we'd got hold of him earlier.

If one of those kids gets drafted to the Swans in 8 years we are going to see that video again

As long as it's not that kid that supports the Giants. Boo!

Not sure about earlier, only because I think the stars have aligned with his move to the Swans. Young enthusiastic group, genuine chance to be number one ruck, combination of all his experience at his three most recent clubs coming together on the field. Plus happy with life as the club has embraced him.

Add Dean Cox to that and we have a perfect storm!

I think we got him at the right time for all parties!
