    They do, don't they?!

          Is that really Sam Wicks in pic 8? I would never have picked it. But it doesn't look like anyone else either so I believe it.

            Horse's presser today: Longmire press conference - 11 February, 2021 (sydneyswans.com.au).

            We have not definitively settled on playing Braden Campbell off half back, although that's where we're leaning at the moment. We're likely to name the leadership group for the season ahead over the next week or so. Likely there will be one or more additions to the five from last year (JPK, Rampe, Parker, Mills, Franklin). A few boringly predictable questions and answers about players returning from injury (including guess who?).

                  And, judging by the photos and reviews, the puddings at the Route 72 Cafe Bar Emporium aren't bad. Not enough Swans memorabilia though.

                    I feel like some pudding now after this discussion. Go Swans in 2021 but don't let Taylor near the pudding.

                      Thank you sharp9, I cannot tell you how much it annoys a cantankerous old pedant like me when I see that key piece left off!

                        I think the point was missed!

                            A bit of stalking never goes amiss! Only Swans memorabilia round here is at my place (or occasionally on my head)...though I see from today’s email that I might be getting a bumper sticker!

                              We seem to be developing into a team of Snow Tops.

                                Our best years we had a lot of blonds. Jack, Hannebery, O'Keefe, Jude, Parker, Mitchell.

                                I hope the future with Campbell, Stephens, Blakey, Rowbottom and Sheather will repeat those fortunes.
