Intra club at Henson Park, Marrickville

Friday Feb 27 @ 5.30pm

Intra-club set for Marrickville - sydneyswans.com.au

I'll be there - I've never been to a footy game of any code at the (slightly) legendary Henson Park so this'll be a good opportunity to have a look...

I wish they have a session with souths rugby league club... it's been a while since we've had a tackling refresher course.

Is Henson Park the ground shaped like an amphitheatre?

Ahh yes, I love coming on RWO for my daily fix of political /social / philosophical commentary. I almost forget why I joined this forum in the first place. Something to do with reds and whites ? Probably a racial thing ...

Interesting to see us playing a pre-seaon game at Henson Park - a choice probably motivated by more than just available facilities

Such as? I had assumed it had been moved away from its normal location due to the cricket world cup.

Take a chill pill mate. Western gender roles are a social construct anyway, that have only resulted in 500,000 acts of violence against women inflicted by men in the past 12 months. Is that men just doing what males do?

Before we all have a cry about this "emasculating behaviour", think about how "awesome" the masculine behaviour of men of this day and age has made the world a better place.
Like war perpretrated by most male Heads of State.

#QuestionsForMen is trending bigtime on twitter today, maybe you could join the clicktervists?

piss off with the gender @@@@.

Anyway back to some actual pre-season talk...the comments from Horse about the mini intraclub played today are a good read, very interesting to see Jetta and Reid both playing in defence.

If Lewis can get the defensive side of his game up to an acceptable level then he could be a huge weapon rebounding off halfback - and it's no secret that we look a much more balanced team with the 'Reid' magnet at CHB on the whiteboard

I agree DamY. If JPK12 wants to be a cave man let him go back and live in a cave HAHAHAHA! I like hot showers, conversations with women that don't involve the words hot, ass, @@@@@@, T**s, sexualising any person always leads to trouble. When the world finally wakes up and learns that people, no matter their gender choice or identity, race, colour, sexuality are just people like ourselves, that is the world I want to live in. Patriarchal values do cause most wars. But we digress from the real question:

Do the Runners look good in pink? This is a real preseason question as if the answer is no then the AFL can change this in time for the season proper. If yes but a prettier shade then we can also change that. I'd get Richard Simmons to design

The other pressing question of the preseason is;

Will Buddy get his ink extended and does he have a tattoo on his butt?

See, very burning questions these. Every footy follower has an interest in those two questions. i'd like a Vox Pop on those two questions but don't know how to make one up on here. Any help?

By the way I have a suggestion for Dane; CHAMPIX! Look it up.

I think Reid was always going to be the swingman for the time being. But Jetts is the surprise, not him being trialled there but any thought of him playing there permanently. Horse also gave Lewis Melican (194 & around 85 don't say it isn't right, he has stacked on weight since coming here) a rap, very interesting. Thought he was good when I went down to see them.

Did you take some xanax for lunch and drown it with some whiskey? What the hell are you on about?

And Champix is terrible tbh.

[dimelb]

Jetts in defence? Made to order for people like Rioli, Harvey and Puopolo.

And drool over the counterattack.

[magic.merkin]

I think those 3 could shrug/knock him off a bit easy.

Spare us the lecture please DamY and Wolftone. Violence against women and wars have nothing to do with men doing manly stuff. In particular it has NOTHING to do with the pre-season.

I find this hard to believe that Horse is fair dinkum about this. Jetta would be great if we have possession but way to lose on his opponent when they have the pill.
