What to do with no footy to watch

[Meg]

Thanks Meg - great fun!

So many ‘favourite’ moments in the video - but the Swans fan taunting the Collingwood supporters was particularly wonderful. Do you reckon our man made it home alive?

Love it. Thanks Meg.

Hahaha me too! Deserves a medal for services to the general football public.

Loved Joey's kid wandering in in his swans gear though - surely that was a setup

What was going on with Parker's hair??

I loved the footage shown for Naismith and then the shocked look from Longmire.

Agree! I think the shocked look was cut from a different incident & match (I seem to recall it elsewhere) but it was a very suitable addition at that point. Sam N is a very funny man with an attractive self-deprecatory sense of humour.

How long must it have taken him to put that together? Did you see Sam Reid’s comment that Sam N needs to find himself a GF? Clearly Sam R thinks Sam N has too much spare time .

I've watched a few videos done by musicians in isolation, of late. The one that I love is by French band, Les Freres Smith (The Smith Brothers). It's totally stolen by the happy kiddies in the right hand frame. Fantastic song, as well.

I think that was Longmire's reaction after Rohan marked and goaled after the siren in the classic 2017 win against the Bombers.

Fun video - especially the Pies taunting! - thanks for the link.

Yes, you’re right. The BT call of ‘he can’t believe it!’.

It was from the "Mark Mark Mark Rohan" game. Longmire was just as shocked as we were.

Edit: Yes that's right BT did say "He can't believe it" to everyone's reaction.

Our fixture throwback match this week should be worth watching. It's a West Coast game; scheduled for 4.40pm on Saturday. I'm guessing that it will either be the 2005 or 2006 grand final. Hopefully the 2005. Though since I've only seen the 2006 a few times, it will probably still be an interesting exercise.

If not, there's a couple of other games from that era, that I wouldn't mind seeing again. The 2006 qualifying final (I think?), when Mickey O said hello to the crowd. Or there was a game in Perth, where we blitzed them in the first half and managed to just hold on in the second, despite a free kick count of something like 33-10: with umpire McLaren being responsible for the discrepancy. Not entirely sure why I want to relive that?

I still get angry at the umpire watching old games that we won. Do we share a Swans persecution complex?

I think that in the case of McLaren, it's perfectly justified. And Stevic. Though my shouting at the TV, when watching a ten year old game, is probably even more pointless, than shouting at a live telecast.
