Oh the pain lol 5 worst losses that aren't finals
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 !He's actually a really nice bloke and incredibly passionate about our boys
Comedian is saying something , Sam Pang is a comedianI don’t like many comedians either
Don't bother , nothing storyTicks etc there is a Buddy story in the Age tonight , but paywalled if someone can get it
It's already been posted above in the Daily Media post.
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.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.
Waiting for a bedford thumbs down lolIm eager to try his low carb beer
ShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhCan't like every Swans fan . He just shit me when hosting the Skilton awards nights
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.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.
I'm assuming it would be anonymous.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.

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.
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.Round 0 still a go but with changes
AFL’s ‘opening round’ set to return in 2025 – but clubs want change
Clubs are preparing to make it clear to the AFL that significant issues that arose due to opening round need to be addressed.www.theage.com.au
