Past players - what are they up to?

[stevoswan]

I once said to my sales director. “The client said two weeks ago they were doing the deal”. My sales director replied “the deal is never done until it’s signed”. I said “is the client duplicitous”. The sales director laughed and said “no, sometimes life changes, circumstances change and the client makes a different decision”. He went onto to say “it’s part of life, part of business, don’t feel frustrated, be grateful for the business the client has delivered to you. Now get back on the phone and find some new business”.

This my friends is Jordan Dawson and why their is no need to be bitter.

The Hanners situation is an interesting one. He wanted to stay a Swan, loved the club and was loved by the fans. The club wanted to move him on because his future salary did not match his future predicted productivity. Why did fans accept this outcome? Why didn’t they have a protest on Driver Avenue and burn memberships.

It’s funny how fans are roapable with Dawson for exercising his individual rights to leave but say nothing when the club gets rid of a fan favourite like Hanners.

What's funny is how your business experience permeates your footy experience. They have nothing to do with each other. Dawson back stabbed the club he intimated he was happy at and wouldn't leave only weeks earlier. What don't you get about being double crosssed?

Hanners? No one was happy about it but saw the sense in it, for the clubs future. That's why we didn't sook about it.....but it still made us sad.

Dawson's move only made sense to him and he lied to the club and it's fans.....if you honestly believe he 'changed his mind' when he went back to Adelaide and tasted Mummy's cooking you deserve to be in the business world.....where fantasy appears to reign supreme.

BTW, we've heard this 'footy is like business' nonsense all before....sigh. It's very tiresome to pure sports followers.

Here's a great article about arguably our highest profile ex-player (at least right now).

Great story, Liz.

On Perth Channel 9 news, they featured Lewis Jetta who is now playing Grade C football with the High Wycombe Bulldogs with his two brothers. Was a nice story - he is saying playing with his brothers is a dream.

I would argue that Barry Hall is the Swans highest profile ex player (at the moment)

He was a key participant in the Stan paid per view “Turf War” which delivered great numbers for Stan.

Barry is also participating in SAS Australia and his reflections on fatherhood are resonating with people everywhere.

Thank you for alerting us to the alternative media landscape.

Goodesy looks too young to be signing autographs in that photo. It must have been 1998-99?

And I always love the bulging disk @@@@ up. Especially Lisa Miller's contribution: somehow adding fuel to the flames, while stating that all she wanted to do was drink water.

Hmm, after all these years posting, I've just discovered a new word that the swear filter gets. Starts with a 'c', ends with 'ck'. How quaint.

Plus Barry had the boxing match with SBW. Lots of viewers if you consider the length of the bout!

Not sure that the reflections of an ex footballer with anger management issues that half of Australia have limited awareness of on a commercial television channel “ Reality Show “ will resonate that deeply with as many people as you believe.
The effort shown in the “ Turf War “ you mention did elevate his profile but not in a particularly positive way.
Barry will always have a place in Swans history but not in my opinion worthy of your, or for that matter anyone’s , adulation.

I would have thought that even though he hasn't been active in the media lately that I'm aware of, Adam Goodes remains unquestionably our highest profile former Swan.

A bit harsh. There is no doubt that Barry is a complicated man but so is Will Smith.

Barry has risen his profile recently and commercial networks do have strong numbers. I only expressed my opinion that (March 2022) he is the highest profile ex Swan. Armstrong’s TV career is going from strength to strength and he may be the highest profile ex Swan by June 2022.

Barry should be more celebrated for his roll in delivering 2005. I’m a bad footballer, but if you asked me what footballer you would most like to play alongside, I would say Barry Hall.
