Round 8 v Port (Now ... Official Match Day Thread)

Yeah those were tears of disappointment

There wouldn't have been many who weren't touched by the Swan's GF win, especially ex-players.

I listen to too much Melbourne footy radio and Healy is on my (long) list of those who bag Swans football. Like I said, maybe I'm wrong but I don't think so.

That's just a silly thing to say.

I think you're very wrong.

[swantastic]

I reckon Gerard is in the AFL clique and sees it as important that he brown noses to those he deems important. Very much in the mould of the king of all brown nosers Gary Lyon.

Its so far up,its coming out their mouth.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

That's just a silly thing to say.

Um, sarcasm?

[NMWBloods]

He doesn't like the (supposed) way we play and is always in favour of rule changes to stop us. Next on the list? Limitted interchange, championed by Haircut and KB.

He may not like a lot of the Swans' style of play, but that's hardly the same as saying he is a Swans-hater, which is just silly. He looks for rule changes to make the game more attractive and interesting.

Ok, fair enough. Swans-hater IS just plain wrong(ish).

And I knew when I was typing it that the limitted interchange proposal is to stop teams from flooding and I think we'd benefit from that as much as anyone, nowadays.

I HAVE heard though, in close proximity, the words UGLY and SWANS come out of Gerard's cakehole more than once over the last few years; I take that kinda talk to heart and while I have been known to forget how old I am - I never(ish) forget what anyone says.

Flooding IS ugly, that's true.

Haircut? I was wrong(ish).

Saw that Swan-hating Healy and his haircut on-screen at halftime.

Healy was talking the Swans up when they did the cross to Perth.

No, not wrongish, how about completely, emphatically, totally wrong.

Gerard Healy writing in the Herald Sun, prior to the 2005 Grand Final -

The players and coaches of the 1980s and early '90s have all moved on, but if I'm any example, they will be forever grateful to Roos and his players if they can deliver the ultimate meaning to our football careers.

Each one of us who has made the trek north has been driven by the same aspiration: to see the premiership flag hung from the Harbour Bridge. No doubt it will be a similar emotion for the generations of players who battled under the South Melbourne banner.

Yep, he hates the Swans...

[Eala ?ireann]

This match had a lot of positives in it. I was happy to see certain players lift their game and more than a dozen major scores on the board.

Micky O & Davis were great. Worked hard.

Tadhg is a legend, half-baked or not!
