Funny you should say that, I heard this week that Dawson made a personal invitation to his old team to come back to the presentations last week so he could catch up. The only Swans that turned up were sons of an ex East Perth players. A few senior players wanted to go (they get on well with East Perth players as well as the coach) but were threatened not to.

Good win by Swans, take out the sloppy 2nd quarter and they would have got that 10 goal win.

Dont let the FACTS get in the way of a good story Barney!
A bit like that one about Alex Forster playing 20 games for Swans last year you reckoned!!

Well done Swans in your 2 consecutive performances against the 2 AFL cockroaches. Nice comeback against the Docker's sponges, after falling behind by a fair margin.

Even better is reading all the sooks on the Fremantle Big Footy page blaming the fact 1 player got injured for not beating a team of part time footballers against supposed full time professionals!!

Go have a chat with Geapon and ask him if Phil Smart will let him tell you the truth. Wasn't allowed to meet up with the East Perth players in the presentations so he had to catch up with them in Leederville shortly after they finished.

Barney if that is true mate, then SDFC are pathetic.....sheet it's only a game of footy.....hopefully it's not.

All about rotations BH apparently.....Freo had fewer rotations in the last half than in the first....but hey their loss and SD gain.....good to see Cary kick eight....played on an ex VFL player as well.....how tall is the fella?....late bloomer?

Did notice a swans official in the members area yesterday with a hidden camera on his person filming in particular swans fans who chose to "loudly express their thoughts and opinion" with regards to the alignment situation. Does anyone know why we were being discreetly filmed in our own den by our own??????

If only we could train all day for 7 days a week hey freeze who knows we may have won by 20 goals instead of 6 fair dinkum!!
Cary is about 6 ft 6 in the old mate still pretty lean been at the club for 3 years doing his apprenticeship in the Ressies a bit like Chalwell but without all the hype!!

If what you say is true Barney then that's a little disappointing from our mob.

We did butcher the ball in the 2nd qtr in to the breeze but a 10 goal win was never on the cards. I know they are blaming rotations for the loss but I'd give our blokes a bit more credit than that. We pretty much controlled it from the first bounce after half time, desire being the real difference on the day. They are kidding themselves if they think otherwise
