    Sounds like someone is acting far too precious. If he's got nothing better to do with his time than ring talkback radio because he's *shock! horror! gasp!* seen someone driving like a hoon!! then he should spend a year or two living in suburbs where that's a daily fact of life. He should do something more useful with his life like volunteer work helping the poor. It would have been appropriate if someone followed up that caller with a few terse comments about what life is really like outside the suburbs with tall brick walls and four wheel drives blocking the leafy streets.

      No, each post you were adding more information. Not what was reported, but hearsay. If you had put all the hearsay "facts" on the table originally when you posted most people would not have responded in the way they have.

          That's what you get when we win 6 games in a row. I wonder what they are going to do if we win next week...

              Strewth, you'd wonder what they'd cop if they broke a law other than the traffic code. The Swans must be a constant source of disappointment to the Sydney media.

                  I'm not their publicist, but is there even any evidence that any laws were broken, apart from the old fart backing out into traffic?

                    i couldn't give a toss about the concerns of someone whose selected avenue of recourse is talk-back radio.
                    then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                        They are probably pretty p***ed that another old fart nearly caused an accident by backing out of his drive without looking properly.

                          Fraser Gehrig urinates on people, certain rugby players do the same when they are not raping women or destrying hotels. Ben Cousins runs away from booz buses. Dean Brogan violently assaults supporters at the airport and three unnamed players are serial drug abusers.

                          Our guys blow their car horns too loud. Pathetic. I would expect nothing less than a hit run or some ram raiding. How about driving over people's letter boxes (favourite of mine as a lad, in my mate's HR Holden), car surfing (any dirt roads in the district), or possibly the good old throwing beer stubbies out the window at passing trucks (we did that a few times but ended up being chased by a convoy up the western highway one night)

                          Really, I am disappointed.

                            If the person complaining was serious then surely they should have called the club first to complain rather than Ray Hadley on talk back radio. Seems to me that they were looking for any excuse to try to create a talkback radio sensation. And 'Gary' has fallen for it totally - mate, go read the Telegraph, I'm sure Divine and Ackerman are a great source of news and comment for you.

                              My last word... after copping abuse for simply saying don't feel bound to defend bad behaviour...is...OK I now understand that our boys can do no wrong...ever...ever...ever.
                              That this was not (thankfully) a major problem, & things might have been "beat up" by some press is not the point. I hope the coach & management had a less "who cares" attitude than most of the people who have contributed to this ill conceived thread.

                                And the Swans have a very effective media department, who've managed to keep anything worse than some horn-honking out of the press.
