    Rose-coloured glasses syndrome! If those closest to you cannot comment on your faults who can? Still, if you want to live in the little fantasy world that all Swans players are great and other aren't, then feel free...

        Funny... I can see a link between each of those lines for you...

          Now that doesn't make a lick of sense, neither did your previous post.

          Firstly, I am the first to criticise poor performers (or ineffective performers) in the Swans jumper, ie Fossy last year, Warfe all the time and also Saddo (though his was form and not ability).

          Almost everyone on here from time to time will do such a thing because we want the best performance from all of the team that they can individually muster.

          Now as for Westy's role, I don't care what his role is, he isn't a better performer IMO than Johno and Smithy or Black or Diesel (who incidentally was good for about a goal a game as well as some of the most sublime hand passes known to man).

          I can praise several from opposition clubs too. I have a favourite player in every single other club who I love to watch. I do have a balanced opinion from time to time.

          I promise that this is the last I plan to say about this now tiresome and irrelevant topic.

            "That's my bandwagon - ATM Hayes is the most over-rated player in the competition. Should Barely - if at all make the top 50 - simply that Gerard Healy has over pumped his tyres."

            What about Robert Walls, salivating every time Riewoldt took a mark back on the wing on Sat night....very useful....it is the one negative on Footy starting, the idiots that call it!

              Yep they go from promising young players or big improvers all of a sudden super-stars - how over-hyped are St Kilda atm.

              It is one of those things as promising as some of those young guys are often - times they still will not turn out better than mid career players at other clubs like say a Leo Barry or Brett Kirk.

              Sells newspapers - but I forget St Kilda are certainties to win a premiership in the next 3 years.

              I definately picked em and still do to finish outside the 8

                Or, even worse, they turn out like Matthew Richardson.

                    As a Swans supporter, I'd have to say that Richo does a fantastic job!

                      Yep - keep up the hissy fits and that wonderful penchant to consistently miss goals from 30m out on slight angles.

                        LOL, Maxfield got in his face at the 'G' last year early in the game, Richo gave away a free kick and did nothing for the rest of the night.
                        LOL.

                        Go Maxfield (the quiet achiever)!!!
