' get around him' used a lot by James Brayshaw after a player kicks a goal his teammates run in to congratulate him, rub the head & pat the backside. In this case kicking the goal is replaced by the signing of a contract. Players and fans alike should get around him at ES this Saturday and let him know how much we appreciate him.

Get around him.

Put AOD to the side, they are reportedly being investigated for upto four other products/substances. Say goodnight.

Baring injury or rest I can't see Jordie getting back in the side this year.

Caro Wilson has had the balls to come out and name some her sources. As Denham said this morning :- it's suits essendon when they are bound by confidentiality and when they are not - produce the document where you were told it was ok At the start of the year essendon threatened to sue anyone printing story's about the issue, these threats have now become [censored] weak ' media releases' As much as people here have a dislike for Caro she stands to be hung out to dry if she is wrong, same for her paper. If essendon have/had the ok ( very doubtful) but were also aware that WADA says its not ok, wouldn't you check? Rather than proceed full steam ahead. Can't wait for the arrogance to fall, starting with the coach.

No doubt, I can think for myself too. But when I asked the question why do so many believe Roos is so far ahead of Choco , part of someone's response was 'his friends are happy to get rid of him' so along with some relevant facts I threw that in. Is it of any relevance ....no, that's why I put it in , to show exactly that. What is Roos role with basketball Australia , motivator or tactician?

The list is now three ?? How is that, I thought a prerequisite was having already one a flag. The list is then one.

I hear what your saying but will have to agree that we won't see eye to eye on this one.Clarko has an all star team yet can't beat Geelong , plus choked/ were outplayed against the Swans last year. Choco had Port as minor premiers for two or three years running before finally breaking through against one of the greatest teams of all time. Not even the might of Sheedy or Malthouse could topple them come the last Saturday in September. The Lions made a lot of people look stupid. The supposed passing over has already been answered by DemonOx. My Richmond mates think he is worthy of hanging on to.

I'm not being smart here but how are Chocos achievements so far behind those of Roos? Both created culture at their respective clubs, yes Ports died off but the players must take some responsibility. I think Choco is ahead of Roos with regards to tactics. Yes Port got flogged by Geelong a few years back in September but they played above themselves just to get there. For mine the cats would have beaten anyone that day. Seems to be a mindset getting Choco is getting 2nd best.

Could it come to pass because his credentials stack up quite well against all others including Roos.

In response to this post and your previous one. No one wants to play for us - Mitch, Dawes , Watts, Col (not fussed about) first two came largely for money, who cares , now they're here they want to make a difference. No one wants to coach us - I think there would be a couple of people - Choco, maybe a Scotty Burns. But everyone has kept their mouth shut because lately it's all about PAUL BLOODY ROOS. Without Lyon and Longmire(the brains behind the rujuvination of the current swans) you have an A grade motivator and how good of a tactical coach, we may never know. Choco would install a culture into our players giving them a hard edge, has and continues to work with young players (GWS, young Vlaustin at Richmond, good tactically, dismembered the all conquering Lions and has won a flag. Same no as Roos. As I said in an earlier post Richmond will make the finals but won't do any damage. Next year is Hardwicks last year, if they continue to beat the rabble below them but continually fail against real opposition that translates into no progress. Knowing Richmond that might be enough to warrant an extension but if not Choco slots straight in at Punt Rd. We can't let that happen.

The knowledge that I stuck fat through these years so when we rise again it will be even sweeter.

Exactly, I've read most posts on this topic, it reminds me of the Scully threads. Every word getting over anylised. It seems many want Roos purely to create a culture. Has Roos got a gameplan/tactics to suit our list. I don't have any sources, just mates that love this game as much as I do. We are all of the same thinking. Roos drove culture into the swans list. Lyon, Longmire drove the gameplan. The Geelong players were behind their culture change. Choco installed culture into Port, yes it went missing there for a while. His fault or the players? Would supporters be happy if Roos took over and every game we refused to use the corridor. The argument then becomes he didn't have the cattle to play attacking footy with the Swans list as it was. Not that it will ever happen but would love to hear answers to questions from both Roos and Choco such as- What happens to Col? What gameplan are you bringing to this club? What do you do with the captain/captains in 2014 Regardless of who coaches next year the PLAYERS MUST CREATE THEIR OWN CULTURE. The coach can assist in this but can't/shouldn't be there to hold their hands every bloody second. It's only a matter of time before the tiger faithfull turn on Hardwick. 4 years into a 5 year plan. So they play finals this year. Big deal, anyone who has seen them the last two weeks knows they are stagnant. If Choco is the next best , lets no get caught with our pants down.

Well written mate, and I also tend to agree.

I hope he is not going to be coaching 'set shots on goal'

Exactly, if Buddy goes its large because off the AFL's money, that seems to be the major difference between the two offers. Regardless of free agency status , pick 1 should be heading to the hawks.

Ryan Griffen goes alright.

So Col had a blinder in 09, must of slipped my mind. Whilst he has improved this year , on the whole his career has been disappointing. Terlich lacks a bit of polish but that will come. He has guts, determination and puts in consistently every week. I live in Sydney(it's only temporary) but have seen him at the G three times this year, the last being Sunday. He is getting better every game and his confidence and willingness to back himself and take the game on stands out. I just read on another that he wants to stay, that great news, but you can't help but think what if. Before we blame the previous coach/coaches other players seem to be doing alright.

Well put.

Terlich has shown more this year than Col has his whole career. I'm not saying get rid of him, just pay what he is worth. He's coming off his big contract. Throw any so called overs at future stars, players who put in every week.

You pay overs for a player like Mitch, Dawes got his worth. Sylvia cab take what he is given , pay him what he is worth, nothing more. Many will laugh but Flash should be given a year.

We will beat RICHMOND.

Yes but also some bad decisions, comments coming from Swan supporters ' we look and play like a footy side should' . We learn tomorrow from the review and move on. Was really impressed how we though out way through coming out of the back half.

As bad as today's umpiring was, I was there so I saw it first hand. The worst decision of the weekend has to be the deliberate out if bounds paid to hawthorn after a Geelong player(his name eludes me) kicked it 40+ metres whilst being bumped. The ball went past the MCC then bounced then rolled over the line. Bafoonery at its greatest.

Not Richmond, they were made to understand yesterday.
