Round 5 v Demons

[Damien]

you must know what i mean. geez i didnt think NSW footy supporters were that dumb. what about the word "gun"

I may live in NSW but I am from Tassie and Swantastic is proudly Victorian!!!!

I wouldn't equate knowing the so called AFL term of "Crab" to intelligence either.

yeah, but it's one of those terms used to describe a @@@@ but not useless player sorta thing.

[swantastic]

rowan jones cant kick and runs funny
mcmanus - cant kick
ricky dyson never seems to do anything
ted richards - hes just a crab
cam cloke - never does anything either
scott stevens - get killed at chb...actually he's been playing well lately.

"ted richards - hes just a crab" Gee that explains it and FYI i'm not from NSW.In other words you think their @@@@e.

we all know ted is a pretty crap. we knew that when we got him from the dons. hes been pretty useful but the way he's talked about by swans supporters is just silly.

Teddy is not crap IMO he is a little underrated by other clubs and by some Swans faithfull.IMO he is not a star but a very handy player.

hes not really crap, but he just does some stupid things that make you think "why is this loser at our club". oh well cant complain, we have no replacements for him really when you think about it.

to think our future involves ted richards and mcveigh...yuck

we have to do some serious recruiting, when this list runs its race with hall, mol, everitt, kirk, bolton etc retiring its hard to see where we will be...not to mention roos will retire by then too.

Crab < Lobster

I thought calling a player a crab was because they either go or run sideways.
Dwayne Lamb's nickname was mudcrab because of his style i.e sideways

I agree Swansong. I have lived and breathed footy for 50 years in Victoria and have only heard term used as you explained.

Sometimes people who have been going to the footy in groups have their quirky little terms. Sounds like one of those.

[swans song]

I must say that list does show quite a few if not all could be called mudcrab because they all kick sideways

Get over it mate. You made a spelling error and now you're trying to cover it up, only succeeding in making yourself look worse. I challenge you to find anyone else who uses the term 'crab' to describe a useless player.

[Alibi Monday]

Never heard a journalist, a local or a mate call anyone a crab with regards to footy. Sounds like BS to me.

yep, i just made it up...

its not like a journalist would use the word crab anyway, "Sydney's loss this week was epitomised by Ted Richard's crab-like performance"

local = NSW person who knows @@@@ all about footy

your mates = from NSW also
