So thanks to the awesome Kennedy Parker you will notice a sticky post at the top of the pages now. This link will take you directly to the Swans YouTube channel which features interviews etc.

Does anyone know if McAndrew would have still been academy in the main draft?

Maybe he's too old to be matched? It might explain why we took him now instead of waiting til year end. Also means they're probably expecting a break out game soon

Can't really argue with that. I'd have had Mills leading, then Hickey, then Parker. Feel like Hickey might've played less games would be score higher than Parker in each of them though

Players can't speak highly enough of Hickey's off field work and how well he's meshed with the team. It comes out every time one of them is asked about him.

If the Eagles injury list stays true when we play we should beat them

In good form we shouldn't have to worry too much about those return fixtures (given Freo is at home), aside from GWS. I'd mark Dogs and Port down as losses of the yet-to-plays, but who knows (I'm hoping I'll actually get to the Port game). GWS are the one side out of the 8 that I think might be able to force their way in (3 winnable games then it tightens up for them). Can't see the Dons or Freo lasting. Hopefully the Saints are thoroughly demoralised after this weekend.

They haven’t beat us at SCG this century

Very funny when he talks about 16 and tells Bob Murphy that they were blessed with the frees 20-8 and 5 of ours 8 were out of bounds

 

[Kirkswan]

I know I'm old and grumpy, but for heaven's sake the tweet from the Swans linking the article about Lachlan McAndrew states he only started playing AFL in 2019. They should know better. He has not played AFL yet - he has played VFL as well as for the academy.
And don't get me started on man-buns...

What's wrong with man buns? The beat the mullett every single day of the week!

Mate, in my time I have seen some outstanding buns... some on the head and some not, but I can't every recall saying, Wow! Take a look at that mullet in a positive way!

You should try pork buns in China town. Delicious.

I like to cook my own Pork and i don't go to the city apart from footy

Au contraire, as someone who enjoys fishing, a decent sized mullet is a feast for several senses.

On topic (?) - I'm a clipper cut, no.2 myself - so man buns and mullets are both bewildering to me.

 

[Ticky009]

Not sure if its because he's doing a little bit less running around and therefore has more poise when he kicks or what, but he's definitely more accurate. Think rustycrate should get a by line for this article

Sharpshooter Buddy proof you can teach an old Swan new tricks

Though the superstar forward has drained some clutch shots through his career, his kicking for goal has not always inspired confidence. When he’s off, he can be really off. Not so in 2021.
