...for all the "We hate WCE" threads. Collectively, our preoccupation with the Eagles is a little bit over the top and generally. Get over it people. Kerr, Cousins and Braun are probably better footballers than we have on our list. Why care what they do or do not do - is it only because they beat us in a GF?

Kerr yes, Cousins yes, Braun no.
I like Braun a lot, that he is one of their lesser midfielders shows how good WCE have it.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
Yes their @@@@ heads.... but they willl fall on their own sword's eventually and I am at peace with that...
Those knuckle draggers from Collingwood though, they can never be forgiven or trusted!
Braun would be one of the best midfielders in our side.

Once we made a tagger out of him he would be.
Maybe. But a lot of GOPs are made to look better than they are by playing alongside greats, partly because they rarely attract a tight tag (except for that untight tag of Mathews in round 1) but moreso because their confidence grows alongside the best, they get good delivery and lots of it.
If they are transplanted into a lesser team, they often come down a level or two.
Braun is a fantastic runner who knows how to find space and he has adequate - though not punishing - skills. I don't think he'd find things quite so easy in the Richmond or Carlton midfields - or the Swans' midfield for that matter.
No, he'd not be a star, but he'd still be pretty decent in our midfield.

We are still trying to gain support for AFL in Sydney , especially as a family game, and we want parents to want their talented kids to play AFL. So when the best players, the Premiers, the Doyens behave like foul mouthed louts and irresponsible thugs AND the senior spokespeople for the game say "what's it matter they're great players" you set our cause back 20 years.
Don't you want to see a future Browlow medalist who came from Sydney?
Mr Roos knew what he was doing'
John Longmire is taking it to an art form
We dont know how lucky we are to be Swans supporters
I'll consider not bagging West Coast excessively when you do the same re your bagging of Paul Roos....for all the "We hate WCE" threads. Collectively, our preoccupation with the Eagles is a little bit over the top and generally
Fact is, its not just happening on RWO. It was even a topic of discussion on ABC 702 today. And there's very good reason for it.
