    There you go again Bonbon. I didn't say you were a Christian apologist just that you employ the same tactics ie whenever you lose a point in an argument you just jump to something else & bang on without ever conceding the point you lost. First you run lists of players names now you pop up with Jeff Farmer 🤣🤣. If you think ND had as much talent as Goodie well fair enough but the GF teams bear no comparison. How many games would Ben Beams, Nicholson & Collins have got in 2021 ?
  2. Cranky Franky
    So be it Bon Ami. I'll stick to holding Goodwin to account while you head up the conga line of apologists.
  3. Cranky Franky
    I actually do a lot of irony but its wasted on Americans & on Demonland.
  4. Cranky Franky
    Bon Ami you argue just like Christian apologists. Every time you get pantsed on a specific point you just ignore it & move on to another irrelevancy. To summarise your arguments 1. You believe Daniher had as much talent available as Goodwin 2. There's not much difference in talent between Lever/May & Collins/Nicholson. A simple yes/no will suffice.
  5. Cranky Franky
    Your comments are not even worthy of a response.
  6. Cranky Franky
    I'll make it simple for you. All 4 were Grand Final defenders. While Goodie had the luxury of AA's Daniher had to use players who were barely AFL standard.

    And let's not forget his Big Fail of 2017, disastrous seasons in 2019 & 2020 & poor coaching & player management that screwed our 2022 season. I won't even mention this year's debacles against West Coast & Freo.

    A bit snarky there. Put the claws away.
  9. Cranky Franky
    If this is correct then Pert should step down. It shows extremely poor judgement and is childish & vexatious.
  10. Cranky Franky
    Well maybe. There is Scot, Irish, English, Italian, Spanish & French in my heritage.
  11. Cranky Franky
    Your list of % wins by coaches is totally meaningless without information of available talent. Daniher didn’t have May & Lever, he had Alistair Nicholson & Matt Collins. Ridley & Beckwith were probably decent coaches but had poor lists. Pro Tip Next time post something useful.

    Then there is the conga line of Goodwin apologists with their "nothing to see here" attitude who ignore that a potential golden era is quickly turning into a disaster. We seem to be returning to the Neeld/Schwab era.

    After the year we have had & rumours around Trac, Clarry & Kosi anyone who didn't understand that we needed stability with our gun players is a moron & should not be at the Club. Shopping Clarry around was the absolute last thing the Club & its supporters needed this week.
  14. Cranky Franky
    So the Club has had a disastrous 12 months, appears totally dysfunctional but it's all good. Nothing to see here. You're sounding like Jim Jones just before the Kool Aid.
  15. Cranky Franky
    My bad. Did you mean Get Frost ? (as in Sam) to bolster our defence.
  16. Cranky Franky
    Ferret ??
  17. Cranky Franky
    Mostly agree with this. If Pert is effectively in charge of the review it is highly unlikely to critically look at he (Pert's) role & how he operates & any impact this could have on the Club.
  18. Cranky Franky
    Agree. Currently lions led by donkeys.
  19. Cranky Franky
    I reckon we need to get an experienced quality mid for a year or 2. McRae or Shiel or someone similar.
  20. Cranky Franky
    You're wasting your breath. No matter how many times you point out 3 years of trading & list management disasters there is always a conga line of apologists lining up. Amazing because player trading & list management are pretty black & white.
  21. Cranky Franky
    That's a load of carp. Drafting has been great. Trading & list management has been total garbage. Hawks have drafted well AND have managed to trade in Amon, Dambrosio, Ginnivan & Meek compared to Fullarton, Dunstan, Shache & McAdam
  22. Cranky Franky
    There's only one relevant question. Over the past 3 years did the list managers improve our list or make it worse ? The answer is obvious.
  23. Cranky Franky
    I suspect that when Eddie McGuire agitated years ago about the salary cap advantages the Swans had the AFL got rid of the Swans salary cap advantage & replaced it with the Academy system.
  24. Cranky Franky
    There's a conga line of apologists on demonland one behind the other claiming either: 1. Nothing wrong with our recent trading & list management 2. It couldn't be helped - can't get them all right 3. Trading & list management has been woeful but no one is to blame.
  25. Cranky Franky
    Nothing wrong with our drafting. It's the player trading & list management over 3 years that has been dreadful & made our list worse. And don't start me on the contract management for Adams, Laurie & Hunter.
