Can someone tell me what the purpose of these blue cut-down bras that some of the players seem to wear? Is it to provide manboob support?

[BAZooka Woman]

When was the last time you saw manboobs on a Swans player (Davis excepted)?

[ScottH]

Aren't they called a balconette bra?!?!?!?

To be serious for the first and only time:


Lesson in running one:

This are aids that enable the runner to follow the below guidlines:

"If you ever look at elite distance runners you will notice that their shoulders are square and if you drew a line across their shoulders you would see that very little movement goes up and down or side to side. It all goes forward and this is what you should be aiming for in your running. These elite runners would never be as successful without good form and many hours go into practising good technique. "

Notice the ones not wearing them actually have the worst technique! They should all practice with them

[ROK Lobster]

Isn't that what a bra does?

I thought that they were Brawnbies....?

Well thanks Ajn for solving that mystery.

So I take it the players will continue to use these devices come the home and away to make sure they're nice and square when shooting for goal.

The order is actually this

David Spriggs
Brett Kirk
Sean Dempster
Nic Fosdike
Jarrad McVeigh
LRT
Jude Bolton

I'm struggling to see any resemblance between the second player and Brett Kirk - face, colouring, build, gait all look "wrong".

[liz]

Yep, that's what I'm taking it to be. Spriggs is clearly the player out front. It is the player to the immediate right of him on the picture (though somewhat behind him in reality) that I think is being claimed to be Kirk.

It may well be - I can't suggest an alternative - but I can see no resemblance.

the only resemblance i can gather to kirky is that he never swings his right arm when he is running, which is what the second individual seems to be doing

if i was going on facial features, my guess would be scott stevens

They are not a running aid; the blue straps are part of a GPS device some of the players wear on their upper back/neck to measure distance run, speed, heart rate etc in a training session. Nothing to do with square shoulders or running technique.

If you are unsure, why don't you visit the Swans website and submit it to "ask Roosy"!
