... Gaining Kurt Tippet on a two-year deal for no loss of players or draft picks owes a great deal to the smarts of Beatson and his team including Stewart Maxfield and now consultant, Ricky Barham. ...
That Sydney now has played in three GFs since 2005, winning two, and now finds itself with arguably our best playing list ever owes much to these guys. But credit is due to Kinnear Beatson. Swans supporters owe you a hearty pat on the back.
Materially assisted by the dumbs of AFC.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

The man is a genius but the thing that impresses me is the people who he hires as talent scouts. They are the best. Our part time and full time scouts are super. The picks in the last four drafts have been sensational especially the last three. While some of the players are no longer with us, as in TDL, they played some pretty good footy for us. But the last four drafts produced; Jetts, Parker, AJ, Hannas, Armstrong, Everitt (I think he will be good), Kennedy, McGlinn, Morton, Mumford, Seaby, Pyke, Reid and Rohan. Add to them Lamb and Mitchell both potential stars and big Tommy who has potential as big guys often develop later.
We now have Tippett and all the new boys as well as some pretty impressive talent already running around in the Two's in Lockyer, Brown, Cunningham and Biggs. Add all the players here before the last four drafts and we have the potential to be the super team of the 2010's. If our players stick together and we can manage to put together legitimate secondary deals for them we will keep most of them for a long time. There will be the occasional player who doesn't make it but that is unfortunate but life.Comment

I wonder if KB's parent's were trend setters in themselves - drop the hyphen and the first name of your child. Other gem surname combo's, the obvious - White Goodes...or........Hannebery Jack. Sounds like he came from either a Mark Twain novel or the swamps of Louisiana.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

Vespa and Andrejs are an interesting match and not just because both players' names have a redundant consonant.
Statistically Paddy comes out just ahead, but Drejs has kicked two matchwinners so I'd give him the cigar.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

When I think of our midfield strength I think:
Kennedy
Jack
O'Keefe
Hannebery
I don't think Goodes.
Even up forward you'll have Reid, Tippett, the resting ruckman, Goodes.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

The Hun today has us listed as the third best list in the league. Notes that our forward line is 11th.
Also comments we have least number of top 20 picks. Equal least no 5 game or more players.
Beats on has put us in a great place of having a good enough side to win a premiership now, enough youth comming through. Not many list cloggersYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat!
