characters and decent folk. They know where their club is at. Some of them remind me of some Brits I know thru work
stuff that support the soccer clubs they do because its where they were born, even though they know their team has never
won anything significant and never will. For them, it's about the journey, not the destination. As it is for me these days with
our noble, upstanding team.Comment

I made no comment on the worthiness of the Saints supporters whatsoever, my best friend is a Sainter, so I wasn't dissing their supporters.
History is objective, it should be thought about and enjoyed for itself, no need to imbue it with extra meaning.
But their inclusion was pretty bent, and our clubs' determination to keep Port Melbourne out of the VFL that provided a lot of the impetus for their surprise inclusion, and provided further fuel to the longstanding Port/South antagonism.Comment

Became a full forward at Port. Previously he'd been a back pocket and ruck.
I'd have liked to see him come to us from Port rather than Vic Aanensen - I mean the Swede was pretty much a lamp post ruck, which wasn't even acceptable back then.Last edited by Ruck'n'Roll; 20 October 2022, 10:06 PM.Comment

Might get a bit of second honeymoon bounce early on, but I can't see this ending well. Maybe Lyon will prove me wrong with some changes in his tactical approach, but I just don't see it. Feels like a desperate appointment by a desperate club with nowhere to turn."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Will be lucky to last 2 years imho. Their list is bog average and going back to Lyon won't fix that.

Same. I thought they drafted well last year, but they need a few more years of that and hardening those players before they’re anywhere near a top four list. Still think the most remarkable thing about the Saints saga was the head of footy who oversaw a crappy drafting, recruitment and development plan for years got promoted to CEO then sacked the coach. Bizarro.
Who would want to be a Saints, Norf or Essendon supporter right now given the utter shambles they have been, CEO's, football departments, coaches, recruiting, scandals!
Or a GWS or Gold Coast supporter knowing your initial start up concessions have now evaporated and you're destined to be just a feeder club for the Southern states and will always struggle to rise above that deadly mid table vortex despite almost every year having a good draft hand?Comment
