4 game ban for Ginnivan for sniffing lines.

Seems like a slap on the wrist

Why?

Half of West Coast were off their chops and the AFL said their flag was legitimate.

If he was a Swans player I would be disappointed in him. Not for him but for the team. I would want my players doing everything to be in the side round one. Doing casual drugs suggests he has personal goals ahead of team goals.
Dumb enough to get caught too.

 

[Punts]

Yer cause our boys are saints lol

Might just not be dumb enough to get caught

Anyway if your getting around filming people you are lagging dog

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Ginnivan did snort - ho hum.

Ginnivan gives fully scripted, cliche filled, completely insincere apology - should get 6 weeks for the apology.

I see your penchant for players like the Essendon one that was overweight coming into this preseason.
You talk a tough line but your player choices are questionable.
You may like players doing lines. Maybe you encourage that at work.
Seems you are paranoid about what you do thinking I'm filming you.
You are a Joke.

Been watching a few ‘mini’ swans games from last year.. is AFL commentary the worst in professional sports? **** me it is hard to listen to.. feel like it’s starting to stick out like dogs nuts

Yes.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Yes.

Never listen. Always with the sound off. Hate them passionately.

Glad I'm not the only one. I think I've gone through every single one of our wins from this year at this point. I'm at the point that I might go through our not completely terrible losses like the Carlton game or the Lions game

Hypocrisy (noun), the practice of engaging in the same behaviour or activity for which one criticizes another - for example, The West Australian publishing an article bemoaning Collingwood's drug culture:

At least they're consistent...

So I've just moved about 3 pages of comments - we understand the volatility of the discussion and the social implications. Such talk belongs on the other thread.

Also, please be aware of BF Rules in your discussions and how to speak to people - mods will take action where required.

Ticket sales for home games are out. Just purchased tickets to the Port and Freo games - I don't know if theyre not releasing all the seats but theres a decent chunk already sold? Maybe bots and scalpers unfortunately

 

[Ticky009]

Here's an example of what other teams take for granted: 42% of Adelaide's list is homegrown.

Ours is in the 80's right? Unless you mean homegrown as SA players they've drafted, in which case we're in the 20's

Turns out I've reached a new level of desperate. It's 1am and I turned on Fox Footy for the **** of it. They're halfway through the 3rd quarter of Freo vs Carlton from R6 last year, and Fremantle were up by 30. I ended up watching the rest of the game and enjoyed it. Jesus Christ I miss footy so much I'm doing degenerate shit like this

Agree - disgraceful behaviour. Give yourself an upper cut and say 20 'Hail Buddy's'

Congats to Hayward on making the leadership group for the first time, great to see his progression.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Where’s Errol?

 

[caesar88]

Where’s Errol?

Busy being a 20 year old in his 3rd season?

i just assumed he was sitting cross legged at the front and the photographer missed him.

 

[The King!]

Mills solo skipper would be good, Rampe id take out of the list

But obviously so much leadership/captaincy is behind closed doors.

There's gonna be some openings in the leadership group very soon, as Buddy and Rampe depart, maybe even Parker and Lloyd step down from leadership duties. That is when I think you'll start seeing young guys like Gulden, McCartin, Blakey and even more unexpected types like McInerney and Warner step up.

For now though, it makes sense to capitalise on the decade-plus of experience and the learned lessons that those veterans can offer.

I actually put Tom McCartin in over Hayward

Hayward fit the bill perfectly to me. Turning 24 this year, so coming into his prime. Now in his seventh year at the club, so has had a solid half a career's worth of experience in the Swans system. Won the Best Clubman award as voted by the players, and given that the leadership group is player-voted, it is in some ways a popularity contest. He's easily the most frequently cited Swans player by the players on social media, which indicates his popularity away from the club as well. And he's also young enough to represent the young brigade who now occupy a massive portion of our list.

The others I mentioned will follow in the coming years IMO.
