Roos two negative.

[Sanecow]

"We probably haven't not focused on round one the last few years but, yeah, we've spoken about it," Roos said.

No matter how I read that quote I can't make sense of it!

And????

It's obviously a typo.... Does a thread need to be started everytime a typo is made on the Swans web site??

There would be a lot more threads if we did.

I have no reason to suspect a typo.

Given Roosy's sometimes tortured English, perhaps not - but this from the same article suggests otherwise.

"The only you are really worried about regarding game time and monitoring it is Barry because he is playing his first game but for all the other guys it is about game style and getting ready for the season."

It's either a junior reporter/typesetter or Roosy has some early form of Tourette's.

It's no typo.

He's just saying that it's not as if they haven't focussed or tried in the first few rounds previously - just that they are more aware of the fact they have a history of starting poorly and are addressing it.

Edit: I'm struggling to explain it without also using a double negative!

Are we talking here about what Roos said or Sane's typo of two instead of too.

[Sanecow]

It's a pun, boy, a pun.

[elroy67]

Is that a pun in your pocket, or are you just pleased two see me?

Headline to article should have said:

"Swans marketing machine worried about small crowds weeks 1-4"

Yeah well, that's actually not a pun. Nice try though, champ.

Just like they addressed it last year.

Exactly.

What else is he going to say? "We're not planning on improving because we don't think there's an issue." Clearly there is - he said as much after the Adelaide game last year.

I wonder if giving Hall more than 15 minutes of game time in six months might help his preparation.
