It's not directly Swans related, but there's a very good ABC article available on the use of "moneyball" style statistical analysis in AFL: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07...anged-afl-billy-beane-michael-lewis/100293674

Its great that he has seemingly found his niche. Hope we haven’t seen the last of the Blakey Shake with a couple of bounces, lasering it thru the big sticks and a celebration to match tho.

PS Congrats on 50 Nick!

Behind a paywall so I just took a screenshot but apparently Mills has been elevated to co-captain



I'm sure he'll get there one day though.

Gerard & David King have us in their top 4 for the first time this year. Podcast in the article has a long chat about the Swans.

We aren't the hottest team right now as we can't be the hottest team with Blakey in the team and Melican not in the team. Kennedy is doing a lot of heavy lifting for us in this regard too.

One of the few very good things about AFL.com is the ladder predictor. I have us scrapping into the top 4.

I should add though like I’ve said a few times I don’t watch weekend neutral games anymore so my predictions are done more via the highlights & footy shows I watch during the week when it comes to other sides form.

It's a great show as they provide good analysis on the games, a bit like on the couch. I think there's also a pregame show on Saturday before the first game of the day.

The amount of callers to SEN in the last couple of weeks praising our real jumper is amazing and most are not us . Andy Maher and even Bob Murphy have said it's the best and then Dermie backed them up , then Andy said the line in the song 'shake down the thunder from the sky' is the best , Dermie said Yellow and Black.
