About a "no-@@@@head" policy and where it's coming from

[swansrock4eva]

The way the league guys keep going you don't have to try to hard to outshine them!

[wheels27]

I reckon player behaviour is a by-product of how they are treated in the public domain, hence AFL "heroes" in Melbourne or NRL "heroes" in Sydney get a bit big for their boots. Yet swans players (who?... Oh,yeah I think they won the GayFL or something in Victoria...snigger, snigger) would tend to be a bit more humble and less conspicuous if they can help it.

Enough people tell a young bloke how great he is, he's bound to show signs of @@@@headedness (is this a word) eventually.

I think some RWOers base their entire views of recruiting on the dhead factor first and foremost, and most of this is based on whether they like the player or not, whereas I think the club looks at a lot more, and the dhead policy is just one thing, and it's not as straight forward as 'is he a dhead or not'.

And your agenda here is recruiting Akermanis?

At the right price Akermanis would be a great recruit for us.

The way spider everitt carried on this week I would hope he would never come to the swans.

What constitutes a @@@@head anyway? The list is endless.

A friend of mine met one of the younger swans at a club a couple of months ago. Shes not an AFL supporter and had no idea who he was. They hung out for a couple of weeks after that but the way he treated her was appaulling! Total and utter @@@@head, but certainly does not affect what a great player he is on the field and how he bonds within the team.

I wonder what the club preaches to the players in that respect?

This is the exact problem with thinking the club has a no @@@@heads policy.

Every single bloke in existence would no doubt have at least one person who thinks they are a @@@@head, as you say, this doesn't affect their place in a footy team.

Perhaps the rule applies to @@@@headisms on field & as a media personality (i.e. on behalf of the club).
Their personal lives = irrelevant?

But..no...wait...our angels don't go to clubs. And if they did they wouldn't pick up girls. And if they did they'd act like total gentlemen. Must have been a case of mistaken identity with one of those nasty league types.

I don't think her point was that the Swans are 'angels'.

Total and utter @@@@head, but certainly does not affect what a great player he is on the field and how he bonds within the team.

I think her point is somewhere in those lines.

[wheels27]

I would guess that he must have waited a while to reveal true @@@@headism, as you mentioned they hung out for a couple of weeks.

So, at least initially, his @@@@headism musn't have been obvious, or is your friend a glutton for punishment?

(I also like saying "@@@@headism" - what a word!)
