Round 13: they're all other games.

After watching the Horne-Francis incident it’s surprising he only got two weeks. He clearly went in with an intention to expel some fury and cause harm.
This might sound clichéd, but I hope the club has someone looking out for his psychological well-being. He’s obviously frustrated and unhappy playing at North.

Why stop there? Maybe we could also hope the cafe down the road has someone on their staff looking out for the "psychological well-being"
of their new young barista. He's been having a few hissy fits lately too. I think I'm with David King on this one. The prat could just pull
his head in.

Spot on KTigers. North should drop him until he gets over himself. If he does end up leaving, they will get a great trade. You can't rebuild a club around a clown.

On his mental health, I'm sure that North would have a well qualified sports psychologist on their staff, and if not, that would be a major reason why they aren't improving.

Not commenting in a disparaging way but I wonder how blaming the lack of a sports psychologist as a possible reason for poor performance would be received by supporters even as recently as five years ago?
It’s hard not to think that the more potential excuses we provide for players the more they choose to push the boundaries.
I was young once and made plenty of poor decisions but didn’t have the mental health card available to me so learnt my life lessons from the experience not from someone easing me into reality by telling me it was not my fault that I made those decisions.

Can’t see how it was comparable let alone worse than Smiths headbutts?

1-2weeks max

Agreed. Not much intent in it, just some frustration.

Too generous using the word "dislike," roadrunner. Please use the words "hate", "loathe" or "detest" in the future. We Swans should never forget that Carlton was the arrogant, entitled club that waited for us to die in the 90s so they could move into the Sydney market! Vultures!

Hehe.

For me, somewhat ironically, it was a Friday night game vs Carlton at the SCG in 1995. No one gave us a chance, but ~24,000 turned up to watch us win by 70 points. Plugger kicked a bagful and Mickey O, at 18, kicked 4.

Classic.

Unfortunately, Carlton didn’t lose another game that year.

Except the following week - to St Kilda.

Very true!

St Kilda 4.3 6.8 9.11 11.14 80
Carlton 0.3 0.5 1.5 3.6 24

Flat-track bullies.

The GF that year was meant to be a tight one, both Carlton and Geelong had won their prelims by about a million, but the game
was over by half time. Our old friend Greg Williams ran amok as I remember.

Perhaps he should get some tips from Bailey Smith.
