Swans find positives in loss

"Lyon said Nick Malceski suffered a corked thigh and Sean Dempster corked his shoulder, but otherwise the Swans were none the worse for wear."

That's the best news. Glad to hear no-one got injured in this silliness.

Copping a hard knock, normally to the thigh that bruises up quite badly and gives a cramping sensation.

Normally would mean a week out tops.

Does this mean the Roos are now the defending premiers? How long do our bragging rights stay valid?

'corking' is what we call getting a 'dead leg'. sore and unmovable for a while, but generally with ice and rest, no problem very quickly.

They'd have to beat a premiership team, or win a GF to be that.

If your friends gave you corkies when they dead legged you, you must have gone to a tough school.

Yeah...it was Vermont High School. School of Darren "Daisy" Williams and Brucey Brunton. Unfortunately our school "zone" was split between Richmond and Essendon
