    It was a stain on our nation and it saw me lose friendships I never wish to regain
    (Alan) Jones is a huge stain on our nation as well

    Jones and his cohorts at his radio station are pathetic excuses for humans. As a Victorian I can't believe anyone listens to them. Why isn't their station broke.

    This is completely relevant to my philosophy of what I expect from our coaching staff and what a bloods club should demand........and what we saw as evidence by the Hawks on the weekend - tactically first class
    Great perspective on your part. On the evidence, Clarkson is a master. I cannot fathom how he and his team on and off the field continually outwit the Swans. What does it take to improve game thinking? I don't suggest Longmire is not up for it. However, I do think he should look at his staff quality and assess how it could be improved. Something has to change.

    Lost one game in 8 weeks with two late outs and injuries during game. Apparently we now need psychological analysis of coaching staff and PD session. Shaping up as material for an episode of Utopia!

    Coaches have been very effective over long period of time. I am sure they are aware of where we need to improve.

    I dunno, maybe you're being a bit harsh on poor Alan. I mean, personally, I still think that the Swans should construct an Alan Jones Stand at the SCG, in order to appropriately recognize his contribution to our great game and to Australian society in general.

    I know. I just wish I knew its origin. Google Images was no help, as the Go To Website function, just took me to a page that was using it for a write a caption competition. But really, I would love some more info, as I'm not sure if I've ever seen a photo, that is just so wrong on so many levels!?

    Indeed. And when you think of the bigotry of much of his audience how has he managed this silence?

    One of the great mysteries. A lot of people in Sydney seem to be frightened of his influence. He can be particularly vicious if he gets a bee in his bonnet.

    I wish we could achieve 572 posts on here when we win a game !!
    The discrepancy is worse than the Dogs free kick differential in the finals.
    If we beat the Cats, it will struggle to get 220.
    Please explain ?

    Probably because after a loss people want to vent and vent and vent and try to understand how the hell it happened, especially against the Hawks.

    After a win people are satisfied ????.

    I do get your point.
