Yeah I can see that, he can go a bit overboard.

Adam Spencer is a loss , should follow St Scum

I don’t like many comedians either

 

[giantsully]

Oh the pain lol 5 worst losses that aren't finals

Very entertaining, Spencer is a lot of fun. I'd never seen the footage of Peter Craven on Andrew Denton's show before - OMG, that is gold.

I agree Jewels. Top bloke. Does a lot for charity, has one of the highest IQs (even higher than Bedford’s - who is also a selective school genius), great public speaker. We could do way worse !

Watching the Freo game there were a couple of women wearing hijabs in the crowd.
Could have been mother and daughter (40ish/20ish) and all decked out in Swans colours.

There is definitely a market for non Anglo supporters to be 'exploited'.

The initiative in the video is a terrific idea and even better if the parents can get involved as well, to bring their kids to the games on a regular basis.

There is a definite strategy to get kids involved, whether as players or supporters, and their families will follow. It's very smart. Alongside maintaining/increasing our interstate () supporter base. The more diverse the better. That's our country.

IF ...​

the round 16 loss to the Dockers was unexpected ...

THEN ...​

at 13-2 the Swans are still travelling sensationally. Two losses only, by a combined six points. It's difficult to maintain peak energy every weekend.


Finally some sense from DB which is rather unusual. I hope he is safe and well.

I like the concept, and it would be interesting from a fan's perspective, but there are a couple of issues with it.

Firstly, teams have different list priorities so will target specific players and hence would rate them higher.

Second, if I were a recruiter I wouldn't invest any time into the list. I'd also be concerned about the info being hacked or leaked, and I wouldn't want to divulge any intellectual property.

Also, if my first pick was pick 18. I wouldn't care which players went 1-10 and in which order they fell. I'd be looking at players that will potentially fall around that pick and select the best possible.

So i think the concept is flawed and unlikely to see the light of day. That's why Twomey has a gig, to help the fans wade through all the info. It would be interesting if it ever were to eventuate.

If I was the recruiter and my first pick was at 18, I would list them as no.1 so that it makes me look very astute.

 

[dosser]

There is absolutely no way clubs will want to give away this kind of information.

First rule of negotiation: understate your level of interest.

If a club is seeking to trade in a young player from another club, the last thing they’ll want is a “list” out there, showing how highly they rated that player.

Furthermore, clubs won’t want their players knowing they were a “last resort” selection because all the club’s preferred picks were already gone. Not good for morale.

It’s a nice idea in theory, but the clubs won’t support it.

I'm assuming it would be anonymous.

Yeah, that's actually a sensible comment. No one should be throwing their bathwater out at our loss by a point on the siren.

I dunno why they can't just have everyone playing, give the NSW and QLD + WA teams home games and call it round 1.

The bye stuff was a nonsense this year.
