James Rowbotton interview

This was probably Rowbottom on the other end of the line, because WTF was with all the questions about his looks?

It was so creepy and cringe

It was so creepy and cringe

That interview certainly veered off into the weird on more than one occasion, but Rowie handled it with aplomb.

 

[Bandicoot]

Really weird because according to Champion Data we are one of three sides that have a premiership profile. Cats, Blues & us.

On CPH2471 using BigFooty.com mobile app

The difference is that Champion Data simply use facts. Facts that can't be disputed whereas the others are just giving us an opinion.

Yep, but they only use the ones they want to...

Don't get me wrong, I like the facts they're using, they suit my narrative... but if at some point they don't, I'll be using different facts...

 

[RubbaDuck]

I don't reckon it was mark of the week. He definitely took a dive.

Not that impressive. Alex Rance could do better without the ball

Oh gawd - this kid is hilarious

Trigger warning needed for this lol.

Thanks for coming to Sydney!

Hilarious. When he gave Mills a high ten all I could think was "Please don't wrestle him"

Amartey Party
"Fitness wise, I've been able to complete my first pre-season since I've been at the football club, so that's given me a good base and good confidence in my body that I'll hold up for the whole season and run out games and provide whatever the team needs from me week in, week out," he said.

But COLA was a rort and there's no difference to living in Melbourne

Yeah, they really are a pair of w***ers. I couldn't give a stuff what they look like as long as they get the job done.

James Rowbottom has an excuse, he’s Brian Taylor’s nephew. But the media are ****ed though just the same

Actually, now they have amended much of their data collection to take into account position, time on ground, real time ball use (taking int account pressure & if players can handle it), amending effective disposal to show whether a ball kicked long was ACTUALLY effective (in other words if it was marked by an opponent it was not effective whereas in the past long kicks were all counted as effective unless it went directly to an opponent), pressure acts, advantage acts (knocking the ball out or punching a ball to a teammate's advantage) & a whole lot more. 5 Years ago I would have scoffed, and did, at a lot of their data as it was not indicative of how a match was played. However with time spent in, forward defensive pressure, scores from forward & back rebound intercepts etc the data is more indicative of how the game is played. It now shows a blueprint on how teams win & what stacks up.

How effing rude. A fan just pulls a chair up uninvited. That is beyond the pale & he has every right to say to that person, I'm sorry but I am trying to have a private moment with my partner. Some people have absolutely no manners at all.

What are you talking about , some can't open it

Here's a snippet from the article for those who can't access.

5 Coaches from GWS & Sydney are living away from their families because they cannot afford Sydney.

“We’ve been fortunate to have done that, but if you did an analysis of who lives in their own property in Sydney compared with who rents it would be pretty telling. Too often coaches are approached who are based in Melbourne to come here and when they look at the hard, fixed costs it’s just not worth it.
“If they stay in Melbourne the job opportunities are just so much more widespread.”

While the AFL’s soft cap now allows for a small rental subsidy in Sydney for football staff earning less than $200,000 both GWS and the Swans have continued to lobby for a greater financial benefit in recognition of the housing cost challenges. Sydney are also pushing for the soft cap to return to levels comparable with the pre-COVID era.

Damn, I thought Swan fans had better manners that that. Fancy just busting in on a players breakfast and sitting down at their bloody table. How bloody rude.
