[Most weeks of most years, the Swans are half-famous and half-anonymous in Sydney, and it suits them. This week, they were suddenly exposed.] I'm sick of seeing my face in the papers and on TV, ... After all, I didn't murder anyone. |
He will be disappointed with his performance last week, |
I couldn't catch a cold. |
I don't like to put players in categories but it is not our top-10 players, it is our bottom 10 that are really performing, like Luke Ablett, (Adam) Schneider, (Amon) Buchanan. These guys have been the story of the year from our point of view and that is where the improvement has come from. |
I have driving to training, reading signs and so forth, but as far as footy goes it's pretty hard to measure how much improvement it's going to be but it's certainly not going to hurt. |
I speak to him fairly regularly, I am sure it will come up in conversation, |
I think we have come a long way as a footy team. The maturity of the group and the evenness of the performance is a lot better than previous years, |
If we don't turn up to play this week, Melbourne will give us a touch up, there's no doubt about that. |
It has been talked about that the way we play is suited to finals footy, but in saying that in every finals series we have bowed out disappointingly, so we have got to make it work. The disappointment still burns, |
It is not too often we get a poor game from Hally but I am sure his contests and his attack at the ball will be fierce (tonight) so we are looking forward to him having a good game. |
It needs to be determined that people are able to vote early, and they're able to vote absentee, which is difficult based on the way rules are. By now, who's considered absentee and who's not? And also, if people are going to be able to actually get transportation to go back to their home parish in Louisiana. |
It's been a long, hot pre-season and I'm really looking forward to getting a hit-out. |
It's something you can't put your finger on, it's more mental than anything, so we are extremely happy with the way the guys have come back. |
Obviously he is going to get a bit of attention but Davo is a good player, he can handle it, |
That was a bit of a surprise because against West Coast [the week before] he did a bit of damage as well. |
