Swans Rivals

But, as rivalries go, this one is about as vicious as Marcia and Jan Brady squabbling over a favourite hairclip. Such is the mutual respect between the players, their greatest danger on Saturday might be getting crushed in a giant group hug. As for sledges and insults, the Dalai Lama does more trash talking.

A good article that promotes sportsmanship and shows that good natured people with a bit of honesty and integrity are at the helm of both clubs.

Maybe it has something to do with both clubs successes...

Hopefully this "mutual admiration and respect" will rub off onto some fans of both clubs.

I don't think it is possible that I will ever have admiration and respect for a grub like Adam Hunter.

I hate and detest "mutual admiration and respect"

[Lucky Knickers]

I thought the article was crap personally.

All this lovey dovey stuff should come out after the game. Right now it's footy war as Jason Ball would say.

If Hinds thinks those media statements are signs of mutual admiration and respect, his "smoke blowing up my arse" sense is totally broken.

Yep, Johnny Worsfold is the epitome of sportsmanship and integrity.

I defer to Kevin Sheedy on this one:


"I only want my boys to play exactly like Johnny Worsfold, just like that and I'll be proud of them," Sheedy said.

"John Worsfold -- the cleanest footballer I have ever seen, the man who never hit anyone."

[Wardy]

its all bollocks - this touchy feely stuff.

Coming from a coach whose gestured the cutting of a player's throat whilst walking off the ground... yeah, you can take whatever you want from that guy...

Woosha was a hard player for sure, but he was fair.

I thought he was gesturing to the martians? Or was it the seagulls?
