    It's a shame, but I guess when it gets to that stage, the call is strong to have a break from the site....
    It it will help people out I'm willing to get a twitter account so they can just follow that for their football analysis needs? Random bursts of 140 characters, all devoted to the one character.
    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 time

        Gerard Healy on the couch

        "Coming up after the break, a man who plays with the Bondi Billionaires".

        This is from a former Swans player. This Bondi garbage has got to stop.

          Gerard Healy to Ted Richards

          "Buddy is the captain of the Bondi Billionaires, your (Ted Richards) the captain of the defence, the Maroubra Minions".

          Jason Dunstall thought it was hilarious.

          This Eastern Suburbs talk being associated with the Swans is despicable. It has to stop. I will be the man to take a stand on all this crap.

            Agreed it seems the lifestyle dividend location is too easy to mock.
            Could we perhaps instigate a more preferred alliteration ?
            Say the Swaggering Swans or Sydney Strength or something similar?

              Great to have you on board driving this bandwagon Matt especially given your previous devotion to the eastern suburbs lifestyle and it's benefits in attracting players to the club..

                On FB today, Footy's Most Awkward Moments asked you to name your most hated player.
                Goodesy came second.
                OMFG.
                When did people start hating Goodesy? At the game last Friday, every time he touched the ball, the crowd went boo.
                WTF is that all about?

                Please explain.
                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                    Glad to help. I just want the blokes at Fox Footy to stop with their sniggering Bondi Swans jokes. Just focus on the serious Football issues of the day.

                      He has been booed at most games down here in Melbourne for a while now. The first time I remember hearing it was a game against north.

                      I think it started around the time when he got out of a couple of reportable incidents and he was labelled as a "protected species" and an umpire favourite. And then there was those sliding incidents.

                      Then last year with the racial incident he was labelled a sook at being upset for being called ape and that he overreacted.

                      And this year after being named Australian of the year he has made several comments about racism and each time there have been a number of people writing in to the paper having a go at him.

                      Funnily enough just now on Footy Classified on the segment Good Call Bad Call they had the comment "It's unaustralian to boo Goodes". They all agreed!

                        I am confused. Over the weekend you were passionately arguing that the Eastern Suburbs lifestyle should be a cornerstone of the Swans' marketing to players. What has changed today?

                          I think Matt was only poking fun at himself. I laughed.

                            Me too that's the difficulty with the written word irony doesn't translate as well as when delivered verbally

                              I've turned the corner Liz. I becoming a 100% serious football pundit.

                              I came to the view that my Eastern Suburbs / Bondi posts were frustrating some loyal Red and White patrons. It became frustrating listening to Fox Football pundits start making Bondi jokes.

                              I want to be respected as a serious football pundit worth reading.

                                Because most supporters of Victorian clubs are racist and they are pissed that Adam called a spectator on it.
