Parkin has said that in 2006 Swans will stand still and not improve.

So if we win the premiership this year we'll win it again next year?

What would he know yet about who we might pick up in the trade? Talk about trying to get your tuppence worth in the press.

My view of Parkin has taken a considerable dive over comments he's made over the past week. I think he's right up there in the "Pile of Tripe" mentioned in another thread.

Yes his reaction to Iemma and his comments were very angry.

100% correct. Another comment from yesterday man. Just like Walls. Ignore them. We don't need their approval to succeed. Prove him wrong, that's the answer.

Parkins and Walls are two of the worst 'experts' - both ex-Carlton coaches too...

Everyone in Melbourne says that every year. Let me guess - the Doggies and Hawks will? And I bet they wistfully said that the Bombers and Pies will improve, too.

Well, that's it then. Those we think have lifted their game this season (Nog, Bucky, Voges, etc) have now officially stalled.

Are we really that concerned if we finish third again next year? Cant possibly get shafted in the umpiring like that again in the QF!

The exercise of predicting next year's season before this one has even ended is a bit daft.

That said, I don't think there is a whole lot wrong with Parkin's assessment of Sydney in this respect. We have kids yet to play that some of us on here believe will become good players, but so does every club. We don't have a trio of Judd, Riewoldt or J Brown players waiting to emerge however. And our senior core is mature and unlikely to improvement in anything other than small increments.

Maintaining our current standard of play is not a blight given that we have been one of the best handful of teams this year and are still in with a shot of finishing as the best club in the land.

Sounds like a comment for the sake of making one. Parkin should concentrate on 2005 and keep his trap shut until the pre season at least.

22 now. So tell us about yourself Frog. And how do you park a Chernside?

Check RWO Introductions, the 'How did you become a Swan' thread ... I posted it there as my first post I think.

Once I learn how to link to other threads, I'll have a go at it ... for now, just click your way to it ...

And I park my "Chernside" full throttle, with extra brake power (both feet) and normally end up sideways...
