About time they came back for a visit. My boss has already agreed that we will be going to both of the open training sessions and I have booked my kids into the afternoon clinic.
I will have to take along a few items to be signed, premiership DVD would be a good start. :clap:

[Big Al]

A little birdy told me that certain piece of silverware will be making the trip as well.

Booked in for breakfast with the boys (and trophy)!

If you get near the trophy I'd steer clear of the right hand side where a certain RWOer gave it a big smooch... Ewww

[BillyRayCypress]

Well the Premiership Cup will be on the Central Coast tomorrow on public display between 3pm and 6 pm at Erina Fair.

HOWEVER, it will spend an hour in a "private session" at Gosford RSL with a triple team premiership winning Club of 2012. The only junior Club to have this honour.

So any local RWO's are invited to attend between 1:15 and 2:15 pm. You'll get to meet me and I can sell you one of my albums. Yes, pre CD and I can only use so many as bird scarers.

Just about to shower and get ready now.
Don't know what I'm more excited about, getting a happy snap with the cup or hopefully meeting the legend that is Billy Ray!

J, give BillyRay a hug from me! You two could talk the legs off a.....

Lucky lucky buggers!!!
Heading to Sydney next week for a family trip (hubby going to Geale/Mundine fight) so I thought 'Woo hoo be able to see the boys in training' (shirts off lads) but NOOOOOO!!!!! They are off to Coffs Harbour on the 29th (when we arrive) for 4 days. We are in Sydney for 4 days. Great timing.
Just going to have to watch our Western Warriors get flogged by NSW in the Ryobi Cup instead.

jump on a plane, it is only a 1hr flight from Sydney, and a much nicer place, if I do say so myself. :smile:

I went the pash, but I'm pretty sure it was the left hand side. Or it might have been the right? Can't really remember, I was lost in the moment....

Hartijon arrives on the North Coast on the 29th too.From Chiangmai to North Coast just to see the Swans!(and retire permanently)

Have had the pleasure of visiting Coffs a few years ago for the Emergency Services Games. Loved it. Very nice area and great hockey pitch!! One of the more better maintained ones that I've played on.

Sadly our meeting was not to be. It gave me an......................................achy breaky heart to miss out on seeing Jewels.:miserable::crushed:

There was quite a few people there over the three hours for photo's though and the first hour was the busiest.

I didn't touch the Cup again after it left our Club's meeting. All these people slobbering and spreading their germs all over it. The Sydney Swans employee (Michael Martin) had to keep rubbing it down all the time. They don't pay him enough money !

Did anyone notice the mistake on the Cup? Trivia question time.

I don't know, the 2012 cup won by the Sydney SWANS looks okay to me.

[BillyRayCypress]

I think you may have spotted it.

[Big Al]

I think you may have spotted it.

I asked Mick from the Swans about it last week and they weren't impressed about it. It's going back to the engravers in a few weeks apparently.

[Untamed Snark]

I think you may have spotted it.

Actually it's a cunning duplicate, Al has the real cup stashed away (allegedly)

We thought that the engraver was a Hawthorn supporter.

I was getting bored with my Movie World Batman Cup.

I was at the airport when the Boys arrived this afternoon. After the weekend weather I thought they might have cancelled the trip. 811

Nice Pic.... He's a good looking and photogenic bloke.

Judes not bad either. ;)

[RogueSwan]

...Judes not bad either. ;)
It seems quite silly now but I was quite nervous. I have never asked someone I lookup to for a pic/autograph before.:redface:

[RogueSwan]

Spoke Mummy, rolled his ankle ten minutes into training, stepped on someone's foot.

[RogueSwan]

Mummy spoke to Horse after the training session, he is off for an x-ray, but they don't think it is serious.

[RogueSwan]

One for the Joey fans:

[Big Al]

I have that exact same body... Unlike Joey though I don't want it damaged so I protect with lots of insulation. You gotta take care of yourself.

I like this one better:

I take the same precautions Al. Works a treat.

[Triple B]

I also decided on the keg look, rather than the 6-pack.

I guess if I also want my little piece of Columbia, I'm going to just have to make do with coffee....

Thank you Rogue, you've made an old girl VERY happy!

[Primmy]

[Primmy]

Thank you Rogue, that has gone straight to MY Pool Room!!

Hey Jewels, after constantly making comparisons, I do believe Brad Seymours Legs have finally been equaled and possibly surpassed. Kirk tippett's legs are worthy successors.

Now if we could just get Satch's ok, we can shift our attention to the up and coming generation.

[RogueSwan]

Thank you Rogue, you've made an old girl VERY happy!

...and quite a few of the nurses at my work! I think the word "yummy" was mentioned a few times. :rolleyes:

[RogueSwan]

... Kirk tippett's legs are worthy successors.

I didn't get a shot of Tippo, as the boys call him. How about young Sam?
814

[satchmopugdog]

Who would have thought this would be my favorite thread!!!! I think I'll revisit more than the Tippett thread.... Joey > Sam

[Primmy]

Not too bad Rogue. I love his tattoo, discreetly placed under his arm pit. Classy.

Just got back from the Chamber of Commerce breakfast at one of the local resorts.
Spoke to Mummy, he was disappointed he hurt his ankle because he missed out on paintball yesterday arvo.
Joey was at the table with us. They gave him a massive bowl of muesli and fruit. He said to us "I was hoping to get some eggs, there is nothing wrong with eggs". I offered him mine but he politely declined. I am sure you would have done the same Prim and Jewels, but probably one of your own!:surprise:

Horse did a good presentation using clips from the GF.
The main points from the game he used were:

Hanners get smashed in grabbing that mark early on
Macca spoiling and LRT talking on D50
LRT harrassing, followed by Goodes and Mitch laying a tackle;
Mitch, winning two-on-one, allowing Keiran to score.

He also showed frames from the final minute where every player has a role and are marking their man. All except Goodesy who, as shown in the pic, was being directed by Pebbles (as Horse and the players refer to him) in the goal mouth.
Horse also mentioned how he hoped they could just have enough stoppages in that final minute, with the four point lead, to hold out the game. He didn't want any shots on goal as a miss would lead to a Hawks kick-in and possible goal. But as he said "Ned Kelly had to go and be a hero".
Now I just have to get through, work and pick up the kids from school for the training clinic this afternoon.

[satchmopugdog]

Thanks Rogue...it's almost like being there

[RogueSwan]

Oh, the Cup was there too!

Hehehehe, I could just imagine if our RWO girls were at the table....

Joey: "How do you like your eggs?"
Girls (in unison): "Fertilised...."

[RogueSwan]

I can't blame Jetta for not being at the breakfast.

Re the eggs. umm.....nup, will make do with a massive cuddle.

[RogueSwan]

Had a great afternoon at the kids clinic.
The kids had about 40 mins of training and playing with most of the team. No Goodesy to my kids disappointment.
My daughter (nine) now has a new favourite though, Gooba McDonald to her, Gary Rohan to the rest of us. He was great with the kids and even when I thought my daughter was getting pretty annoying he stilled played along and pulled faces for her to take pictures. Even when they were leaving my daughter walked with him to the bus and gave a big high five. As he got on the bus he "that is my new name, Gooba. And don't forget my number, 16". Just great. :clap:
And gees is he tall. I was standing on the first row of the grandstand and Gary at the bottom and he as tall as me! Can't wait to see him back on the field.

[DamY]

He'd be the best uncle

That kid is absolutely golden.

[RogueSwan]

He even hammed it up for my daughter to take a pic.

[DamY]

haha have you tweeted that to him! I'm sure he'd love to see it

[RogueSwan]

I went to the open training session this morning. Took some pics but I just had to share this vid of the boys playing soccer at the end of the session. Great cross by Macca and brilliant from Armstrong but his celebration was better.

Fabulous, reminds me of his Zumba lessons from last year. Hope the kid gets a crack, get the feeling he could become a real cult figure.

Primmy, that's not a mullet.

As self appointed President of the "That's NOT a Mullett Assoc" , a mullet is defined as "business at the front and party at the back". Walker and Maric fall within this category.

TA just has long hair.

I hope that a pyke is as close as we ever get to having our own mulletman.

Any word on intra-club game yet? Isn't it usually early Feb?

[BillyRayCypress]

Usually the week before the first NAB cup game.

[Primmy]

Its this friday. Warmup at 8.30 am I am told. Game starts at 9am.

Yes

I don't know, the 2012 cup won by the Sydney SWANS looks okay to me.

I think you may have spotted it.

Looks like they have gotten the trophy engraved properly.

Maybe Al has nicked it because looking at where it says Sydney on this latest pic it is obviously different from the Cup that has been doing the rounds.

[Jewels]

Why on earth is Patrick Cummins holding the cup?

[BillyRayCypress]

Jewels there are 6 Swans boys on the Central Coast TODAY. Jarrad and Ted are the seniors and 4 youngies. They will be doing 2 clinics both at 4 pm. One will be up at Bateau Bay, Passage Road Oval and the other will be at Paddy Clifton Oval, Showground Road at Narara. I'm guessing Ted will be at Narara.

Then at 6 pm a private dinner with local Junior Club Presidents at Breakers at Wamberal.

So a chance to get to see them without the crowds.

[Primmy]

Got a private invite didn't you Billy. mutter mutter mutter. Not that you don't deserve it, but.....

and it was excellent!!!! I will do a full report today. Lots of news from it. Trying to find my camera cable to download photo's. Macca couldn't make it and he was replaced by Kurt Tippett.

Thank you for that info Billy Ray, unfortunately I was stuck working and couldn't get out of it.
Just my luck, I would love to have had a quick chat to Tippett to try and get a bit of a feel for how "Swanlike" he is, and missing Teddy just breaks my heart, he is one hell of a lovely man.
