Well at least he had one good finals game ???? came across this snippet on the AFL Live site where they highlighted Max Gawns effort the other night as the best quarter , as defined by champion data , since 2010. I must admit I don’t really recall his performance in that game maybe I have PTSD from the mugging in the GF that year .
Gary Rohan – who underwhelmed with one disposal before going off injured against the Demons on Friday night – comes in fourth, with 15.5 points in the third quarter of Sydney's 2014 preliminary final win against North Melbourne.Comment

I have vague recollections of that game. Pretty sure he went back and played off the half-back line. I have some vague aural memory of Wayne Carey commentating the game, and waxing lyrically about how he'd "found" his position.Well at least he had one good finals game ???? came across this snippet on the AFL Live site where they highlighted Max Gawns effort the other night as the best quarter , as defined by champion data , since 2010.

Just had a quick look and he had a career high 23 disposals that night so I think you are right.Comment

Thats always been his problem. He literally runs away from the ball.Comment

Newman is a handy depth player who would struggle to get a game in top 8 teams. Signing him for another 2 years shows Carlton are not that great.Comment

The Toby that everyone likes! In hindsight, we should never have let him go...but that is in hindsight. Mind you, I wasn't happy when we moved him on. He would have been a true Blood.Comment

We didn’t move Nank on, Swans wanted to keep him, he was out of contract and chose to go for more guaranteed senior footy.
As it turned out he would have had plenty of senior footy with us given Naismith’s recurring knee injuries - but that is hindsight. I’m sure Nank is very happy with his decision.Comment

God I love Adam Goodes. There I said it.Worth a read
Adam Goodes ‘glad’ he was called an ‘ape’
The one bit I took out of this article is this.
“It doesn’t happen today. It doesn’t happen on the streets, never did.”
Up yours you anonymous crowd booers and keyboard warriors. As we know, none of them have the guts to confront himComment

I listened last night to the podcast that has given rise to the recent spate of articles about Adam. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it's essential listening for any Swans fan or other Goodes admirer. The topics covered are predictable, but I've never heard him talk as candidly about his junior career, his early Swans years, or, indeed, his final season.God I love Adam Goodes. There I said it.

There's also some insights into what Bloods Culture (back in the early noughties) entailed, and an amusing anecdote about conversations between Goodes and Longmire at half-time of the 2012 Grand Final.
