Yeah. I saw that. Can't argue with Bob Skilton and Goodsey for the first two. I'm satisfied with Pratt at #3 although there are numerous other contenders. But I can think of multiple players I'd have ahead of Magic at #4: Bedford, Round, and Kelly for starters.

I actually replied about that , Kelly and the great Laurie Nash

Kells for sure is number 4. I loved Mickey O but you can’t deny our best ever midfielder (that I’ve seen play).

I'm glad you clarified that . Should this be elsewhere , past players etc ?

Guardian poll on Australia's greatest sporting moments. Sadly 'Davis come save us' is not one of them BUT of the seven AFL/VFL/VFA moments three count 'em THREE are Swans players so stick that up your so-called greatest club-of-all jumper Collingwood.

It's a fun read. And you can still vote.

I ended up going with Peter Norman. Red necked Oz folk freaked at Adam’s spear chuck dance. Peter Normans support for Black Power over 40 years before was extraordinary and boy he copped it.

in 1968 there was hope for a better world. Smith, Carlos and Norman all had a crack. Vietnam was kicking the arse of the USA and its lapdog Australia.

a
Adifferent and strangely more optimistic time.

I agree too..even Kirky before Oloughlin

No - his post was in direct response to the Mt Rushmore article. It stays and you need to stop policing.

Great 3 minute video on website called SYDNEY SWANS HQ , narrated by MOL , got the hairs on the back of my next standing up . 51 days

Who is the player at about 20 seconds in, picks the ball up well, gets a good handball off. Red shirt, dark shorts. can't make out who it is? One of the younger guys maybe?

Those yellow poles in the last handball drill gave more pressure than west coast players did when we played them last year.

Pretty sure that's Cooper Vickery. I keep saying I have high hopes for him, in the vein of Smooch. Low profile but getting the job done. I've also thought that they're training Magor as a small back as insurance if Vickery doesn't work out.

Thought it was Jordon but not at all sure.

A timely reminder to re-watch that game.

 

[Ticky009]

Got my Members News email today. I'm liking the new approach very much. Lots of articles and links for those who dont already scrawl through stuff.

 

[SydneyBlood]

Thought it was Jordon but not at all sure.

Now you mention that I think it might be Jordon based on other photos and videos of him?

 

[Kiama Chris]

A timely reminder to re-watch that game.

I did a couple of nights ago. We did some great stuff but were surprisingly sloppy at times. Our first quarter just totally demoralised them.

Really funny photo of the three talls. Hayden is taller than the other two but they're standing on tippie-toes!
