    Survived The Meltdown

    Technology

    Long gone are the days of people who know what they're talking about due to having excelled at the same sport themselves - being needed by the Swans Board to endeavour to take the team to the top ...

    Never fear...

    Technology can save the day!

    All the Swans board needs to do is grab a computer, then a username.

    Expert advice at their fingertips just by clicking a mouse.

    Actually I wonder if there's anyway it could be organised that on gameday Paul Roos could have his laptop hooked up, be logged onto here just incase he gets himself or his team into trouble and needs a hand.

    Perhaps two way radios from the Members stand to the coaches box, bench or ground.

    It'd be easier that way because if everyone who thought they could do a better job than Paul Roo's, or who thinks they could play the game better than the players - had access to the coaches box, the bench or the ground ...

    You wouldn't be able to fit a cigarette paper in the box, the bench would still be going at Bondi, and the crowd on the ground would resemble the crowd who saw INXS live at Wembley Stadium.


    Why not invite the whole of the board on here and let them know there's no need to employ full time coaches, when they can have the coaching expertise of some of the real legends of the game, online ...

    After a while they'd be able to do away with the selection committee altogether, and just come on here to ask who should be played in what position, who should be dropped, and who should be traded.

    From here they could also organise the aftermatch function much better, by making each and every player spend at least half an hour of deep and meaningful quality time with some supporter who he doesn't know from a bar of soap, ensuring that the player treats the supporter like a long lost friend, and under no circumstances is ever stuck up or patronising, and promises him that he's forever grateful, and that the relationship they share, even though he doesn't know the supporter personally is always paramount.


    So many of you people are great, yet others are nothing but prats who expect to be able to say whatever you like about a player on here, then step up and shake his hand or chat to him at an after match function or whenever you see fit.

    If you don't like a player for whatever reason, thats fine, whatever rocks your boat. Have an opinion, go for the lick of your life. Just don't have the stinken hide to waltz on up to chat with him, just to make a name for yourself online, when all you do behind his back is bag him. That's really ordinary, period.

    I didn't realise that club membership entitled a person to so much. It would seem that in some cases it even gives the right to forget all about the principals that half decent people have survived on for years.

    Opinions are fine.

    Big noting egotistical arseholes are not.
    Sit down or i swear to God i'll have you shot.

      How about those laptop voting boxes they use on Millionaire for the Ask the Audience lifeline? I'm sure Eddie would give the Swans a good deal on them.

      That way the whole crowd could vote continously during matches on who should come on and off the ground or where players should be playing. And they'd be invaluable during the draft so that we could all vote live on who the club should select with its next pick.

                    How can you consider technology without moving even further forward: cloning. How about three Bazzas in the forward 50? Adam Goodes - that's all we have in the midfield. Three Adam Schneiders crumbing. Dang, Andrew Schauble is damaged - bring in AS MkII.

                    Meanwhile, our genetic engineers are working on genetically engineering our own special blends. Imagine a Jason Ball who can jump like Leo. Centre bounces shouldn't be a problem and then he can run into the defensive goal mouth and catch any goal kick less than 10 metres off the ground.

                    At half time kick-to-kick we see a couple of talented five year olds. Hang on, isn't that?? Yes it is Kell and Plugger juniors. But aren't they very big for their age . . .?

                      Like the way you think Ruda!

                      I think tribal council may be more effective though- cull the numbers down, make it a bit quicker. We could do the voting at quarter time and half time, at three quarter time you're OUT!... don't know how we can work the money into it though... maybe BOG gets the mill?

                        Why bother with AS MkII, try AD MkII (Dunkley, that is)
