I read somewhere that SoS rides every one of LRT's back line contests. That tells me he's really passionate about his success and there can be no greater teacher than one who is there with his pupil. Right Obe One?

Speaking of the Collingwood backline...

There was famous Broadway director who was also the best in the business at "doctoring" shows, that is fixing them up out of town when they weren't quite ready to open on Broadway. He turned turkeys into hits many times and was known as "The Polisher."

He was brought out to fix a show in trouble and spent three months and a lot of money trying to get it right, the producer calls him up

Producer - How's it going?
Director - Terrible
Producer - What's the problem?
Director - The show is s***
Producer - That's why I got you, George - Polish it
Director - Unfortunately the more I polish, the more it looks like a shiny piece of s***!

Yes.

Yes, that's right.

(Thinks carefully about slander/libelling laws.)

Yes. Absolutely correct, Scott.

Has SOS been working with LRT and that all year or did he come on about halfway through? I watched the GF replay last night, it bodes well for this club if SOS will stay on and keep coaching Hyphen. He does have the potential to be a solid player at least. Some of his tackiling was great and his kicking is getting better.

I don't actually understand what outside help we have got (since the dark days of the early nineties of course)? other than being allowed to spend more thanks to living expenses?

The way he talks, you would think that the swans were the only team in an AFL mad city that was draining the AFL of billions of dollars in a mad conspiracy to give us a premiership.

But you can't argue with him - considering the 1 club for life players that they have like Nathan Buckley, Brodie Holland, Shane Woewodin, Blake Caracella, Chad Morrison, Anthony Rocca , Shane Wakelin, Paul Licuria etc....they really have proved that they have built their team from nothing and we should be ashamed of ourselves for ever trading for players.

How dare we win a premiership like that

The funny thing is that when he single handedly had the AFL strip Brisbane of their salary concessions he said he had no problem with sydney being allowed the extra living expense concessions. Obviously now that we have won a premiership though it's "outside assistance" all of a sudden. What a tool!

Not to mention the fact that collingwood had the AFL change the father son rule so they could get two in the one year or that they continuously benefit from the most unfair draw known to the world of proffesional sport.

I believe it was somewhere around the middle of the season.

Then we may have a lot to thank SOS for, LRT lifted in the last half and began to rapidly improve. Must have been some confidence creeping into his game but having the fullback of the century giving coaching tips would not have hurt.

I also heard Sos say during the Grand Final broadcast that Roberts-Thomson had been told to kick it long (as his short kicking needed some work).
