Well we know who can coach him in English!
Have a feeling if he was struggling with school then Roosy wouldn't have played him. It would have been out of character given his own sons schooling is of much importance to him. I trust him to make choices I would agree with (most of the time).
BUT bet we see the kid on deck tomorrow night.
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
Round 7 v Geelong, SS.
Sydney 1.2 4.3 7.4 10.5 65 Geelong 1.5 8.7 12.10 17.14 116
BEST: Goodes, O'Keefe, J. Bolton, Buchanan, Shaw
Swans haven't won in Geelong in 10 years. No Gary Ablett, but plenty of other talent left in the tank for the cats.
The swans contained the Cats for most of the 1st qtr, but it just seemed like a matter of when the cats would break the
shackles. Steve Johnson was one of the best for the cats, whilst being in plenty of the play also struggled to find 1st
gear. That didn't take long, and even the great Craig Bolton couldn't contain the enigmatic forward. Bevan was used but to no
avail, Johnson was just too good. Kirk, Jack and Jude Bolton, all tried in vain to quell Joel Selwood, whilst Joel Corey had
a good day out whilst minding Goodes. Hall and O'Loughlin had little impact against their respective oppnents, although
O'Louhghlin finished with 3 goals.
Goodes, O'Keefe and Bolton (J) tried valiantly to get their side back in the game, but in the end the Cats ran out 51 point
winners.
O'Loughlin 3 goals, Goodes and Grundy 2.

Round 8 v West Coast @ ANZ.
Sydney 5.2 7.4 14.7 16.10 106 West Coast 4.2 6.6 11.6 15.11 101
BEST: Goodes, Hall, J. Bolton, Shaw, O?Keefe, Jolly.
In a closely fought contest, the Swans led nearly all night, but never by anymore than 19 points.
The swans started well with 3 goals in 12 minutes. Adam Goodes was at his brilliant best racking up 26 touches, and 3 goals.
Workhorse Jude Bolton continued his hard work in the centre, and Barry Hall had his best game of the year with 5 goals.
While the first 1/2 was closely contested and tight, in the third term both teams almost doubled their scores.
But the Eagles surged and with plenty of time still left, Selwood put the eagles in front by a point.
A great snap by jack in time on sealed the Swans 4th victory in Sydney.
Swans by a 5 points.
4-4-0.

Scott, Rd 8 v the Illegals was at ANZ.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
It only took to Round 8 for Goodesy to get into the top 3 ... and only two points behind Mr Shaw. Poor Mr Shaw. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I should have made bets!!!
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Great job Scott 880 views so far tells the story.
We love it.
As the tension mounts ....
Well, I did think that when my first typo was pointed out.
I'm a firm believer in NOT proof reading anything. That's somone else's job.
Thx, glad you are enjoying it.
As I said in the other thread, if anyone wants to have a go at writing a paragraph on a game, or 2, or 3, etc. Just let me know, and I'm happy for YOU to help the writing.
