If you say it that way, I'll believe you.

In Australia I just think it's incriminating that the media gives football such a bad rep when it makes eggballers look like angels.

I've never seen the media talk about football/soccer being horrible and dangerous. Meanwhile, RL/RU/AFL stars are constantly in the media for being rapists, wifebashers, and all-round dangerous guys to be around

I was at an A league game in August and some pesky 14 year olds started bogan slapping eachother. Coppers ejected them with no fuss, and this trash was all over the news. Wasn't even a fight if I recall.

I didn't see it on the news, but it just shows that the media sensationalises all minor sporting incidents

^ yeh i know

damn i thought it would be another geelong onslaught

they had like 34 shots on goal compared to hawthorn's 25 tho, so they can only blame themselves

but its good to see geelong go down, i was cheering the hawks ftw :D

also i hope daniel kerr signs with sydney, then we can win the flag next year!!!

Congrats to Hawks, sucked in to the Cats who were dominating all year. Bring on '09 and the Swannies!

Hawks played better on the day and it was good too see a different team win.
Swans will be crap next year to many old players and little young blood.

Swans might still be competitive if they trade the right players

Yeah we have quite a few old players.

Are we getting any new ruckmen?

i think there was talk of the swans getting a north melbourne ruckman but paul roos said nah, cos we've got a couple of young ruckmen - like that player who caused that extra player controversy, cant remember his name, and some young guy from brisbane

hey, did u hear about the canadian rugby union player that we signed earlier on in the year? i heard he runs 100m in under 11 secs... exciting prospect?

They planned not to buy them, instead building up the current youth ruckman at the club. I think there are 2 ruckman youngsters at the Swans.

yup I sure did! I think we're going to have an international team soon - I hear that Roos might be going for more Irishmen!
