    What was he disappointed about? Did you ask him?

      This is not mitigating risk.
      Our players need to learn not to jump over fences, chains, drains etc!!!

        I never said he jumped the picket fence. He walked 10m up a steep hill (gradient 40 degrees) and climed over the picket fence.

        There had been rain about this morning. Slipping whilst walking up a steep hill could lead to a nasty Achilles or Calf injury.

        He could have quite easily followed the concrete walking path to the left for about 25m and got up to Campbell parade a lot safer.

        I don’t appreciate your tone towards me for stating the truth and expressing an opinion.

          He was a picture of happiness and why not. Just been for a surf, captain of the sexiest football team in town and living in Bondi.

          As a fan, I was worried that he is talking risky walking angles and not simply following the safest path to Campbell Parade.

          I mention this because he he has a history of injuring himself whilst trying to climb over a fence.

            Maybe we should just bring him out for game day and wrap him up again afterward and stop him surfing just in case of sharks or a nose dive into a sand bank and make sure he drives home on the quietest traffic streets

              Would have thought surfing was more dangerous than walking.

              I get where you're coming from, but you can suffer a serious injury doing not much at all or avoid injury altogether doing risky things. Eg, he could step on glass walking the safest route back.

              Ramps btw doesn't have a history of injuries related to risk-taking. It happened once.

              Nonetheless, it's good to hear Ramps is out having a paddle.

                Did Rampe find the gunman on the grassy knoll?

                  What was there to spy on? We were dead set bottom. Couldn't win a raffle if we had the only ticket. We used to go tk matches and sit on the fence. Three of us and the other 5,000 people spread out around the SCG. They were dark days. I doubt any opposition would have bothered spying on our training.

                  The players probably thought he was lost.

                        Did he also climb a pole afterwards?

                            I don't do fantasy football, but thought this Jock Reynolds profile on the Swans had some interesting points about a few players, particularly Ollie Florent, who looks beastly in the photo posted on the Swans' website.

                            Someone named Zane was given credit for doing the write up. His twitter line is also a good source of information for those who can't get enough Swans. He seems to go to the Swans' training sessions as well:

                            Maybe some RWOers who also go to the training can look out for him and make contact. But maybe BS should hold back. We don't want to turn Zane inzane.

                              The Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period which commenced on Jan 10th ends on 9th March. It has been antipcated on various posts & articles that we'll use this to select Paddy McCartin. Wondering if club has any doubts on selecting Paddy at this stage & if he has to pass more hurdles before they do so?

                                Zane is a fanatic like all of us but he lives in Melbourne so doesn’t attend training. I’m surprised he isn’t part of these forums or at least a lurker.
