This will always be one of my favorite swans gif. It just sums up our play at the time so well.

Just hope none of you lot are in air traffic control as my plane plummets to the ground.

All quiet on our board tonight. Don’t tell me you’re all watching the State of Origin ? What a yawnfest. 5 hit ups then a kick, rinse and repeat. Lose possession lose the match. Bye week is less boring.

Feel like Rampes been on the goal line for a few odd opposition goals

Came close with the bushfire appeal game but Vic vs the Dream Team didn't get people emotionally invested, it's what happens if it is played across all states

 

[swanssince2002]

Yeah I don't think the red card/send off is going to happen anytime soon in the AFL, changes the whole game especially in a fast paced sport where playing one man down is even more noticeable.

Fully agree! League is so boring

SBD Gonzalez Just a reminder that we here on the swans board are the superior of the species. While we are largely humble beings, we are in fact more intelligent, more passionate and just all round better people. Don't waste your time on the main board conversing with the plebs who are unintelligent enough to follow anyone other than our great club.

was indeed a fine endurance athlete - but may not, contrary to popular mythology - actually have been FAST (where “fast” is defined by one’s sprinting ability).

I realise this scientific analysis will cause appreciable consternation in some quarters. But rigorous scientific analysis such as this is beyond reproach.

The other primary finding of the study is that Corey Warner can jump. In fact, the SCG should play a “boing!!!” noise every time he contests a mark.

I don’t mind League. Second in my hierarchy of footy codes (though it’s daylight from first).

But half an hour listening to the commentators is enough to make any self respecting non-brain dead AFL fan promise to never criticise the standard of AFL commentators ever again.

you've hit on a great idea ... forget stupid songs at games, introduce individual player novelty sound effects!

Indeed. With each possession, blast the following novelty sound over the PA system:

Sam Reid: “twang!”

Joel Armatey: “ ”

Au contraire. It’s this level of shallow analysis I’d expect from the VIC media, not the sage DQ !

One only needs to look up his 200m and 400m works athletics times for proof. Let alone the 800m, how he glided through the tartan track…..

Sprint tests ? Where were these measured, what poppycock. Did they stopwatch Sam Reid through a drive through ? Didn’t think so.

It seems his ability to 'go the distance' was inversely proportional to his career.

yes! and in that amusing speeded-up way, too! and being chased by a parade of umpires, cops, nuns, jockeys, angry chefs, etc ...
they don't have any dignity anyway ... and if they refuse, out of the league!!!

Thanks Chris. Funnily I found smoking easier to quit than idiot discussion on the SRP threads, but I appreciate your point!

The idiotic discussions in the SRP pale in comparison to the absolute crap that gets posted to the main board.

Life is a lot better if you ignore Bigfooty in general!
