      Harry Cunningham has really elevated his public profile since he's hired Nico as his publicist. He's made the AFL website's front page and a stand alone press conference.

      Nico has done a great job scripting his lines, especially the killer punch line:

      "They've said they're going to go after the contested footy this year, which is what we pride ourselves on."

      I imagine the we includes Harry himself, which may explain the new super aggressive Harry we've seen so far this pre-season.

      With Harry being an unrestricted free agent next year, Nico should be pushing hard to get a contract extension that will make Harry a Swan for life. I hope Harry resists the lure of going home to the Wagga Wagga Giants, where he can visits family and friends in hospital instead of sick kids who don't have the slightest idea who he is.

        Fans' season preview for the Swans from afl.com.au: Fans' season previews: Sydney - AFL.com.au.

        My favourite bit is where Ben Gillians of Ocean Grove, Victoria nails the 'Dream Headline': 'Swans demolish Hawks in Grand Final' It even beats AJ kicking a bag on his return to the senior team.

        Love it!

          I'd prefer to see "Swans demolish Bulldogs (and umpires) in Grand Final".

            That would indeed be an incredibly satisfying headline.....followed by the Hawk one the year after!

                I think he looks like Dane Rampe at the moment.
