    And I’m sorry, but whilst we have some high quality strutters, there is no strut like the GOAT, knowing he’s the GOAT, having just done GOAT things, nodding his head and holding an arm high in the air and laughing at the opponent who knows he’s gotta stand the GOAT and saying to his team mates “yeah boys, you’re playing with the GOAT”, than Bud.
    Couldn’t agree more. And may we see this many many times this year!

    I reckon Nick Davis gave it a fair shake

    If you're taking the mick, it's pretty below par. If you're serious , you need to rethink a lot about this game.

    This last post of BS has really made me begin to wonder whether he's having a lend of us all and killing himself laughing as he winds us up and watches us take the bait. I'm still not convinced - he's so earnest and eccentric at other times that I have believed in his authenticity - but this post has got me wondering. If he were trying to wind us up, I can't think of a better way to do it. Just checking it's not April Fool's.

    But have we forgotten the king of the strut already albeit not with us very long.

    I enjoyed that. But 'king of strut'?? Not even close.

    A win / win I would have thought.
    No.....time wasted at training I would have thought......time better spent learning how to beat next weeks opponent.

    He did, and so do our current crop. But these are temporary moments.

    The sustained, permanent knowledge that you're the GOAT and others never will be, makes for a different strut that pretenders can't match.
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

    This forum's consensus opinion at the time, not my words But yes, there are sure to be more recent contenders.

    Choreographed celebrations can (note, not do) work in other sports because the scoring is a lot less frequent.
    I can recall only one time that a celebration like that would have been appropriate...when Rod Carter kicked his only goal.

    Pretty sure Robbie Fowler planned his “choreography” and that cost him a few weeks 😁 #pretendbylineisalineofcocaine

    More a snort than a strut

    In the latest Inside Sydney video it shows some swans players (Papley, Hayward, Sinclair and Heeney) performing celebrations while they were being photographed. Were you the director Bangalore 😉?
