I was a failed Blood Brother: Inside the Swans Inner Circle

Does anyone else think it would be an interesting story? The club has been pretty successful running as a (seemingly) boy's club but they do seem to have racked up some collateral damage along the way. Spriggs, Scooter, Chambers, Willoughby, Schauble, Davis, Hall(?) can all tell a tale or two of the inner sanctum I'm sure.
Do the ends justify the means?Comment

I saw that McGlone is performing very well in the SANFL.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Hey, get those investigative journos down to Adelaide now! "McGlone and Willoughby finally open up: The Dark Side of the Swans" is a guaranteed Good Weekend cover story. Throw in a quote or two from Spriggs ("... they just told me to keep running, but never where to...") and Chambers ("... actually, my therapy has been so successful that I can't remember ever being at the Swans...") and we're talking Walkeleys.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

The rest writes itself, or they could just come here to cut and paste the bitterness.

None of the players in the OP have been picked up by other clubs, so that tells me the swans made the right decisions.
But, isnt it weird that we now have 2 senior forwards ostracized (Hall and Davis). Hopefully MOL doesnt repeat his Adelaide escapades from years ago, or we wont have a forward line at all.Comment

Performing exactly how you'd expect. Consistent, puts in hard, always makes a contest, but not a superstar and not someone opponents really fear as the game-breaker. Was relatively speaking more of a standout for the dire South Adelaide in 2006-7, but since moving to comp pacesetters Sturt this year isn't so individually notable. Neither in the SA squad that smashed the Vics earlier in the year nor mooted as one who was unlucky to miss the cut.
Josh Thewlis was the only one of the many ex-Swans in the SANFL to make the squad, but he missed the final side.
Other ex-Swans trivia: I think Gerard Bennett retired in the last week or two.Comment
