Farewell Brodie Grundy
Swans are smart list managers I wouldn’t call them scrooges if they can get deals done

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Last year we got Jed Adams with pick 38 - seems like unders for a multiple AA Ruckman but what would I know.

Non-MFC: Finals Week 03
It is beyond ridiculous - before the AFL decided that it was essential that Carlton play and win finals the umpires call was irreversible unless there was clear evidence to the contrary Well that went flying out the door quick and remarkably it always seems to favour CFC Hopefully there will be a system next season that is not so easily manipulated

Trade Rumours 2023
Ok clearly you don't rate him Against the Blues He had more disposals and less game time than the following. McVee Fritta Bowey Jordon Smith Chandler TMac He chases hard, can tackle and when he gets the ball he is creative and does hit targets consistently. If you don't think that's correct, I'd suggest you don't watch too many games. I'd be sending Chandler packing well before Spargo - Chandler did SFA during that game and the same can be said of Jordon. You find out a lot about individual players when it really matters (finals)

What's needed in 2024
I feel our biggest Achilles heel is both field kicking and goal kicking - a 10% improvement in both and we are probably playing this weekend Easy in theory but not sure it's possible to achieve without some different playing personnel - unfortunately some of our best players are actually also the worst offenders. It's going to be quite fascinating to see what the club does over the off season.

Stuff drafting a kid, poach a key forward.
I have a mate who is friends with Levi - his knees are about as good as BBB - look elsewhere is my suggestion

Hot Future Forwards
He is a suited to a pocket or flank - he doesn't have the size for KPB imo

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Would be a big risk to try Disco forward but he is mobile and can take a grab - can see him adding more as a forward than Grundy tbh

NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
Nah sorry nobody deserves to lose on a crappy score review system After our loss to Carlton we all said it’s going to cost someone a final - well here we are it has Its a farce
-
NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
So Carlton only have to get close and it’s a touched ball on the goal line unbelievable

Comedy gold from the score review again Swans goal called no obvious touch - called behind what a joke

PREGAME: SF vs Carlton
Mentally is Grundy still a Demon or has he already checked out of the building? I suspect he has at least one foot out the door as he is meeting other clubs while we ae still playing finals. We saw how effective Jackson was after his mind left to go west. Tomlinson can't compete with any big forward that has a) speed or b) can jump more than 5 cm off the ground so not sure he gets a game unless there is a specific match up that suits - I can't think of one in either Carlton or Sydney (which is the reason Turner played in Sydney) JVR shouldn't be suspended but we always seem to be on the wrong side of the Tribunal Laurie isn't ready for the heat of finals - I'd also say Chandler would be very lucky to retain his spot - personally prefer Spargo who while not a big possession getter is one of our best and most creative users inside F50 - something we are poor at atm. We lost this game because despite having almost double the number of F50 entries we continue to hack the ball in high and slow - unless we wake up and address that we are going to lose most games, particularly finals. Our efficiency inside F50 of 33% last night is really embarrassing and some real soul searching needs to happen very quickly.

PREGAME: SF vs Carlton
Oh - a bit like the Petracca goal that the Carlton player clipped the ball on the goal line Sorry I forgot there seems to be different rules / standards applicable to whoever is the AFL darlings JVR had his elbow tucked when he contacted McFlop - nothing to it - if it was a Daicos or Cripps it wouldn't even get a mention
-
PREGAME: SF vs Carlton
I don’t get why people think JVR will get suspended that sort of clash happens dozens of times in a final like this - no malice , elbow not high, don’t think he even hit him directly in the head , no injury Compare that with Maynard who according to some people has no case to answer Strange

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Really annoying that Jeremy Howe feels the need to chip in with [censored] commentary about how we have mistreated his mate Brodie I would love nothing more than someone running through him (in a fair but brutal fashion) during the QF
-
Farewell Brodie Grundy
If we have a forward in mind we may need a decent pick from a Grundy trade to help make that work

Probably would have run back home to Perth at the first opportunity
