Willoughby Quits Swans

[sharp9]

As you may have read Josh Willoughby did not play for the Swans on the weekend but turned out instead for Weston Creek against the Swans.....:D

Only joking, can't believe there's no thread but the Weston Creek team was so weak that BEFORE the game was played they decided to make the teams half and half so Dempster, Phillips and Willoughby starred for Weston Creek and some bloke called Nolan booted four for the Swans. Hope his mum took a photograph so he can tell the grandkids about the day he kicked four for the mighty Swannies.

The result was....a draw after the siren. Read it here... Reserves (http://sydneyswans.com.au/default.asp?pg=insidetheclub&spg=reserves)

I was there and it was very bizzare. I tell you what though, Dempster looks like a brick @@@@ house in a Lions uniform..very big.

I'm sure the Lobster can give you advice - assuming his scoring pencils are now hibernating.

I've been impressed with what I've seen of Phillips.

I think I am missing something here, but probably best to spare me the directions :eek: I'll stick to taking screamers over my 3 year old daughter

Well...it's upset Canberra.

Board wipes out swap match (http://canberra.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=sport&subclass=local&story_id=477448&category=General%20Sport&m=5&y=2006)

Do we nickname him TV or Hi Fi.

Board chairman Ron Cahill said AFL Canberra appreciated the swap was done to make it a more even contest but thought it was detrimental to the competition's credibility.
Credibility? :confused:

If they were truly worried about the competition's integrity then it sounds like Weston Creek wouldn't be part of it.

[SWANSBEST]

True

Well we are in an enviable position with the depth we have. But let's cut them some slack. As cellar dwellers, they probably don't reap the rewards with early draft @@@@@s etc etc. I think its laudable that the competition there is trying to assist WC. Yes, it was probably drawing a long bow in how it was done ... but sportsmanship was also a winner on the day from where I stand.

[The Boot]

somehow "early draft picks' came up as @@@.

I blame it on the Rolleyes effect.

[ScottH]

picks
@@@@@s

I suggested you might have mispelt picks, see above.

Phillips HEAD SCREW

In fact + can see it now:

Torture, taps it down to Bolts, handpass to head screw, hand pass to bolts 2 from the back line, chip kick out wide to eski who's free. He his ROK lace out on the 50, wheels around and pumps it long, etc. Etc.

No wonder we are often refered to as the hard working blue collar team.

Still struggling with a nickname for Phillips - "little guy" felt better to shout at the weekend than "head screw", but it sounds a bit condescending.

I think I might try titan or goliath.

[katie-scarlett]

How about.. 'Simon'?

I read somewhere that his club nickname is "Flipper".

That was on the Swans website. I did read an article but I can't for the life for me remember where it was, that he was nicknamed 'Jockey' :D

What about DVD? Philips did invent the Compact Cassette!!

But how about "Stretch"?

[Wardy]

"shorty" Phillips has a certain ring too it.

[stellation]

Perhaps "lucky" for Phillips?

[goswannie14]

After Saturday night I think "Poster" Philips would be appropriate.

O'loughlin referred to him as Jockey when Schneider interviewed him for the Swans website...

[Mel]

My husband was calling him Jnr on Saturday night. Mainly because he couldn't remember his name, but also because he really did look like he would have fit in (physically) more with the Auskick kids at half time than he did with the Swans.

I like jockey.
