    They have a lot of trouble adjusting to the real world after the molly-coddling they get in high school. I bet if you had a stat on university drop outs, private school kids would be pretty high. Ive seen many implode with the normal responsibilities of life and self motivation.
    That has stuff all to do with football & if you show me that stat from anywhere I'll happily agree with you, but as is stands, it's utter rubbish!

      The unknown information is the extent of Hayward's foot injury. Is he available in the short term.

      Allir needs to come back in. He is too good a footballer to leave out. If Allir plays back then Rampe takes the 4th tallest forward and gets freed up to provide more offensive drive. Allir looks like he is also spending time forward in the reserves to develop his swing man potential.

      With Rohan, Reid and Allir developing swing man capability, there are plenty of Swans who can drop the keys in the jar at the swingers parties.
      I'm assuming that none will be sidelined in this venture through being proud owners of a Toyota Yaris?

          Sticking to footy was very much my point.

          Where people went to school is relatively inconsequential.

          As for hitting a nerve, I am happy to share that I attended both public & private schools. Enjoyed both. See merits in both (academically, socially & developmentally). And get annoyed by people who denegrate either as, to stereotype a little, those who belittle the public system come across as snobs, while those who disparage private schools sound envious.

          Regardless, it (mostly) has little to do with football. I did personally find playing footy at a private school a bit more enjoyable than public. But that certainly wouldn't be everyone's view, & would depend on the schools.

          As for Club 80, don't mind what he says. Even if he is another incarnation of Matt80. But if he is Matt80, he should come out & admit it (after his post extolling Bugg being better than those other 2 guys for Bugg's forthrightness after slugging Mill's). If he can admire Bugg for his behaviour, follow his lead.

          Back to footy talk

                More pity, and the economic illiteracy of it.

                    I'm guessing we have 2 more days of this. The moon is full on the 9th

                      Anyway...

                      It all sounds positive from the club regarding Mills, assuming he is okay I would go in unchanged. Unless we want to bring in an extra tall for match ups I'm happy with the same 22

                          He was limping pretty badly after last weeks game but no mention since so I assume he's pulled up okay

                            Not a good sign for Aliir lovers if my alternate training strip theory proves true.

                              It proved correct for the Sinkers selection surprise last week.

                                I couldn't spot Nick Smith in any photos or video of training today. Mills and Jones featured heavily in the training photos and I'm now confident both will play.
