Swans star Parker not focused on contract speculation​

Swans star Parker not focused on contract speculation

Sydney star Luke Parker has been the subject of trade speculation and declined to say he will definitely be at the Swans next season.

Neither Luke or Horse not saying much to dispel the rumours, hey?

That’s right.
Get the feeling a mutual trade may get done, not unlike Malceski, who was offered a ridiculous 3 year deal by GC to continue in a coaching role.
I feel this is the direction Parkee may go with a club prepared to extend the extra year to 2026. I’ll never begrudge him for doing such a deal nor could I blame the club for releasing him.

I'll be pretty saddened to see him running around in another clubs colours especially as he gets to 300

It was a term used for the Cats back in the day

Along with the 'handbags' reference by Jack Dyer if we want to go back even further

 

[Tesla Tenet]

Sarah Ollie worth an honourable mention too. Nothing to do with her being a massive Swans fan of course !

Is Sarah related to Andrew Olle? He was one of the best the ABC ever had.

Haven't they usually done the coaches votes already? Can't find them. Hoping Heeney can win that since they've robbed him of his shot at the Brownlow.

[Day_night_honourer]

Would imagine Heeney still leading from last week after (most likely) another full 10 votes to both Heeney, Naicos & Cripps this week. I doubt Serong received full marks.

Well, not until the H&A is over.

Heeney had a lead over Daicos and Serong of two or three points after that previous round. It’s inconceivable that Daicos doesn’t get 10 last round given the fawning over his performance. (I didn’t watch the game.). Heeney will obviously poll in the Essendon game. He was probably our best but not by an absolute clear cut margin. He might find Errol or even Ollie snare some votes off him. But he’ll probably have enough that a BOG against the Crows will win him the award, regardless of what Daicos does.

 

[Tedeski]

But if that's what he wants then it's best we let him do it.
Like Hanners & Malceski, he's always a Swan. Same as Hodge from Hawks.

It's the way things are these days. I don't begrudge him or the club in these circumstances.

Andrew Olle’s 3 children are Nick, Sam and Nina.

He died in Dec 1995 from an undiagnosed brain tumour at age 47.

There’s nothing in his or Sarah’s bios that indicates they are relatives.

Yes, thats possible.

Nick is a journo - did a lot of work in South America. Don’t know about the other two.

Is it really in Richmond's best interests to try to win this week?

Is it in Richmond's best interests to win this week? Can the Blues avoid another 2022? Are the Hawks being tested enough? We've looked at every club and answered their biggest question ahead of Round 24.

Captain Cripps put on his cape; Houston has a BIG problem

A leader inspired his team to a gutsy win, and a young gun reminded us all he could dominate this competition for a long, long time, but one star has played his last game for a finals contender. Here's whose stocks are up and down after Round 23.

Horse’s presser

 

[The Mares Leg]

Well, he’s not declaring his hand on Grundy.

For those interested, watch his eyes directly before the Grundy question and then while he answers.

Every other question his eyes look down, he’s recalling relevant information.

When talking about Grundy he’s looking up and left - right handed people do this when ‘choosing’ their words or fabricating an answer.

IGNORE the words - just watch his face.

My estimation is he doubts Grundy will play, but is not prepared to declare it.

 

[Cadsky]

I'll tell his old man it's unacceptable and I won't allow it. I'm sure that will be the end of it. Leave it with me..

Geez, I have 3 candidate interviews tomorrow. I'll be keeping an eye on who looks left the most... only room for one lying bludger on the team, and I'm solidly locked in to that role.

Yeah yeah - I thought it was mumbo jumbo too until itvhappened in interviews we were conducting.Watch the video - his facial expression is absolutely consistent until the Grundy question.

We were taught by this guy - I don’t think its as clear-cut as he preaches, but I’ve certainly enjoyed watching footy coaches - Danny Frawley was a case study with his mannerisms.
