Iemma sees the light

[connolly]

Carr said"Now which one is plunger?" Which is really funny if you know Carr. Maurice has attended Swans games in the past and is an extremely knowledgable AFL observer. At last the code has some political recognition in Macquarie Street against the game they play in boardrooms (although he follows the maggies)

There's a thread about Iemma's AF background here :

Good on him. He is the only person in the public eye who has the guts to come out and tell the truth. Much better than that sleazy, whingeing moron we have down here.

We know that Bob Carr was 'bookish' and un-sporty but he did have a sincere interest in the swans. He often sent a personal congratulatory note to the team and that was off his own bat without an adviser prompting him to.

As for Iemma, he did state that he followed Collingwood but the reason for that was when he played junior afl Collingwood ran a coaching clinic for his team and he was hooked after that. He still is behind Sydney.

The flag bet between Bracks and Iemma is carrying on the tradition. NSW has the same bet with Premier Beattie when League State of Origin is on.

Instead of just getting a free guernsey Iemma - it would be nice if we saw genuine support by talking us up against NRL or mentioning the Swans heaps.

The Premier claims to have played Aussie Rules with St George from under 7s to Under 17s
So he has the credentials but why in the name of God would a NSW premier say he even recognised the Pies .
Maybe he was trying for the underdog image or maybe he had done a deal for Eddie Maguire to be his campaign manager



Mr Roos gave the new Premier the number 1 jersey.
I hope Barry Hall doesnt get the huff and take the week off.

Regardless of how well Morrie played as a junior I dont think he could stand up against Mathew Scarlet tommorrow night!

Maybe Barry has been sidelined for the poor game last week and Iemma is in as CHF and Captain.
They wont win the semi but think of the Govenment support the Swans would get.

Haha, but the government would get any support from swans supporters after he costs us the game.
