But how do you think PK became captain ! By being a good boy who sat in his seat and kept his mouth shut every time he was expected to do so ? That is not how a footy club works , you know it and i know it . Any young captain has obviously shown a maturity beyond their years ! That includes speaking up when needed to

I think PK got the job a bit like Alan Border in the 80s. There probably wasn’t a lot there and PK displayed a lot of the leadership traits. I’m sure giving it to senior players in team meetings wasn’t one of the winning qualities.

Matthew Rawle of the GCS will probably get the job young like PK in the early 90s because there is not much else.

PK turned out to be absolutely brilliant captain. Judging by their close friendship, I don’t think PK would have given it to Pluggar in team forums.

Among the players on our list when Kells was appointed captain were: Mark Bayes, Dennis Carroll, Neil Cordy, Daryn Creswell, Andrew Dunkley, David Murphy.

Yup. Not much else to choose from

As for Barry he is dragging the whole AFL world on his broad shoulders as he prepares for SBW. He wins that and AFL guys can he considered in the broad community as the toughest footballers of all.

Oh my lord, a has been AFL player going toe to toe with a has been rugby player. I expect there will be another Pacific tsunami warning when power of the first punch of that bout lands. Honestly, if you think more than the minority of the population gives a rats fat clacker about that one, I’ve got a fair chunk of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to sell you

What’s wrong with the Antonio Brown and Tom Brady example? Tom Brady is the best on field leader in world sports and that would be many people’s opinion. Antonio let Tom down but he didn’t resort to big quotes in press conferences to kick Antonio down. All Tom said was it was a sad situation. Why did Kirk have to kick Barry down in the press conference? Kirk should reflect on this and think about how Brady handled Antonio.

Ummm because it’s gridiron and who really cares about that sport? I mean a bunch of Americans do. And some Aussies. But this is an Aussie Rules board.

And who the ???? is Antonio Brown?

Please don’t answer that. I simply couldn’t care less.

I object to Barry and SBW being referred to as “a has been”. What have you been? Correct me if I’m wrong, in the world of elite Australia sport you’ve been “a never been”. Barry and SBW are legends of their respective sport and deserve to be called better than “a has been”.

I think the fight is attracting huge interest. I think at least 80% of Swans fans will tune on March 23rd as long as the Swans are not playing.

If it's anything, this thread sure is entertaining.

I’m sorry your not displaying a global perspective of professional sport. The NFL is huge.

Jordan Mailata (a brilliant Australia born left tackle) earns 22 million Australia dollars per season. If he keeps his form and upward trajectory he will earn 88 million over 4 years.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the whole Swans playing list cost 13.4 million in 2021. Jordan earns almost 9 million Australian dollars more than the whole Swans list.

The NFL matters because it’s globally huge. Putting your head in the sand and not acknowledging it’s scale is a narrow minded view for sports lovers.

oh wait, you’re serious? I’ll take that bet. 80%? Tell him he’s dreaming.

Entertaining......but also exasperating.

We follow Australian sport. Who gives a rats what professional sportsmen in America earn?

It's totally irrelevant as a rating of any sportsman's actual worth as a person.....

.....and this is what we're talking about. Not some traditional economic hierarchy.

Elon Musk is worth about $269 billion. Doesn’t make me want to build a car.

Surely you don’t think you can make me want to like watching gridiron? Come to think of it , history would suggest otherwise.

Let’s just agree to disagree coz I don’t care about gridiron, thugby or pugilism.

We can agree that Barry Hall is a champion of the AFL game and along with Goodes the greatest Swan of the 2000 - 2010 decade.

We can agree that grass is green. Except when it's yellow. Or blue.

I was disappointed when Barry left. I guess he and some other parts of the club couldn't sort out their differences in the end. I've read his
book and he is one of those guys you have to take the good with the bad I think. Not an angel but not a serial killer either. He was an
awesome player for us for many years and still had a few years left in the tank when he left to go to the Bulldogs as evidenced by how
many goals he kicked for them. I wish he had kicked them for us.

[sprite]

Fair call. I will stop using the term young upstart. I’m sure that young player who said those things to Barry is making a name for himself doing corporate lunch time leadership talks around town. He’s probably doing well.

WTF, you don't even know who the player was, so you overreach with this rubbish.

What are you? RWO's very own Tucker Carlson?

This forum wouldn't be the same without its odd-bods. There always seems to be one. Usually they burn themselves out after a year or two.
