He hasn't got over 2012. He declared the Hawks as certainties in GF week. When they didn't win, he banged on for a fortnight about how they should have won.

Is the HS still around??
Absolutely, positively 100% correct!
He just couldn't believe that we knocked them off in 2012 and this article is just a chance to remind everyone that Hawthorn "got their revenge" in last year's GF. He bags the Swans every chance he gets, especially Goodesy. (Have you noticed how McGuire's mates like to criticise Goodesy? Brereton, Sam Newman and Shane Warne love putting Goodesy down.)
I just groaned when I read Dermott's article. As others have already posted, we couldn't keep Mummy and get Buddy. Without Buddy we would not have won some of those games last year which allowed us to finish top and therefore gave us the chance to make the GF. An important factor that Derm failed to mention. And to say that having Mummy's aggression would have helped us in the GF...you still need the other 21 to step up!!
I change the channel whenever Derm or Eddie come on. It's the same verbal rubbish each time.
I was dreading "Whistleblowers" on the AFL site this week - Swans have had a rough run on that show.
I was shocked to hear them defending the 50m given to Rohan and the "no call" on a 50m against Tippett for kicking the ball away after a free was paid against him for hands in the back. (The rightness or otherwise or the original decision was (un)fortunately not up for discussion.)
I'm a little surprised by the Rohan 50m - I thought it was a bit soft and while the panelists thought it was borderline they agreed that it was definitely there.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
The 50m penalty was definitely there...he didn't just brace for contact he actively dug the shoulder in...he could have just as easily protected himself by putting his hands up. Anyone that has played will know he was trying to sit him on his bum.
