    Is Tony Armstrong our lucky charm?

    5 Games for 5 wins, not a bad start.

    New Swan is a lucky AFL charm | SBS World News


    Despite his blossoming AFL career, Australian Rules hasn't totally captivated the minds of his family.

    "They won't come if it's raining, which I think is very Sydney of them," Armstrong joked.

    Armstrong seems like a real character. I hope he gives Ted a run for his money

    im just loving our two counter attack options - SHAW AND Lou

    Lou plays higher........Shaw deeper and it is working so well

    the guy is so relaxed when on the counter......i havent watched him closely in his one on ones in defence

    My guess is Birdy will be under the pump to keep in the 22 when Parker is ready to go again given Pyke and Lou playing very well and even Incy providing us interesting matchups and variation when needed

    No wonder he always has a smile on his face. Funny bloke. Nice having Happy Harry around the place.

    I don't think at all that Bird will be under pressure. He has had an excellent season, and is a real grunt man in midfield for us in terms of pressure, tackling etc. I'm not sure how we fit everyone into our best 22, but I reckon Bird is easily in that 22.

    At games I usually lead with "Tone" or "Big Tone". I'm sure we'll find concensus soon.

    177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....
