Hardwick's post-match media conference

[FlashGordon]

JLT fixture was released either late October or early November.  Was delayed while they tired to get a sponsor for it

AFL fixture was released mid - late October

Club raised its concerns at the time, not sure what the whack is for TBH, he was asked a question, he answered

A whack just because you can?

would have thought with what has transpired over the stretch, saying nothing would have held him in better stead IMO.  Why not say it is what it is and get on with it.

While I'm no Hardwick fan, he just answered the question truthfully. I can understand the frustration when even practice matches are scheduled so poorly. I can't see anything here honestly.

well, why not throw the towel in next week, seeing as he wanted to do that last year

[Penelope]

I remember the farcical fashion we started last year and it was reflective in a less than inspiring effort against Carlton - and losing from a seemingly unlosable position against Collingwood the following week . Season over.

How did we lose that game anyway

Hampson

No way, Hampson was a revelation last season and was rewarded for his stellar improvement which included an overhead mark and a goal with a 2 year contract extension.  This was backed up with a vote of confidence in him by re-signing Ivvy complete with walking frame,  I wont touch on the lunacy that transpired during the trade period that nearly had Toby Nankervis left stranded at the Swans..that bit of farcical list management is one for the ages 

could you elaborate on this please?

Yes please do.

legend has it and ontop of that a little biirdy landed on my shoulder and proceeded to poo on it before it whispered the following:
Back in the days of 2015 or the one before the latest  trade/draft we had a latte with Nakkers management and expressed our desire to secure his services.  I think the story goes that he wanted to stay another year with the Swans to see if he could secure a regular spot in the 22 and put in a huge pre season and basically busted his butt, in the knowledge that we were wanting him and ontop of breaking into the 22 he wanted to super impress us so we could swing a deal.  So the last trade period rolls around and his manager is waiting for that call from us to talk turkey and naddaaa, diddly squat, cricktets from us.  He waited and waited thinking ok they have got to fry biggger fish with the Prestia stuff and what was jumping up in front of them re Caddy and Lids so he waited and only at the death knock did he ring and say to the imbeciles at tigerland, hey fools, my client busted his butt to get super fit and do all the ahrd yards in the knowledge that you wanted him last year and put it off and now what the stuff are you doing.  We had stuffing forgotten about him....like i said legend has it. 

LOL Legend has it?
You clearly just make poo up so you can hang it on the Club.

The first report in media that we were interetsed in Nankervis was 6th October last year.
Dan Richardson confirmed, "We’ve expressed an interest in Toby and at this stage the Swans certainly want to retain him" 10th October

The trade went through 2 hours after the prestia trade was finalised on 19th Oct, the second last day of the trade period.

These facts hardly fall in with your "legend", do they?

I think you read too much into a lump of bird droppings on your shoulder.

Not wanting to stick the boot in here Flash but really you're making a mountain out of a molehill here IMO. I just don't understand, you're potting the club for successfully making a trade that they had in the works for a year???

Farcical list management? Are you referring to the ruckman they identified BEFORE 2016 when he came onto the radar of clubs (meaning they plucked one from the heard) and then brought across for what appears to be a very reasonable trade?

I mean, everyone knows that nothing actually gets done during trade period until the last few days.

Utter unwarranted whack IMO.

Keep em coming though 

Go Tiges!

I dont think you get it do you? Had it not been for his manager calling up and saying hey, my client put in the big effort to prove to you he wants in where are yas?  Had he not we would have missed the boat on him...why do you think they had resigned Ivvy?  If they were on the ball with getting Nank, there was no need to resign Ivvy but they did, because they were not going after Nank until they were woken up by his manager.  now if we did that on purpose to drop the price all good, but after consistent stuff up after stuff up, i would suggest they were asleep at the wheel.

[Chuck17]

I think someone is trying to take my Griggster role with the BS he is sprouting

[big tone]

I heard at a luncheon last week that Hawthorn were talking to Jagar's manager 3 or 4 years ago about getting him over in the 2016 trade period. And it came from a Hawthorn person that joked that he basically signed back then.
Maybe a bit of tongue in cheek, and I'm sure he didn't really want to go into too much detail but it wouldn't surprise me as some clubs think longer term than just the season they are in.

I recon the Dangerfield trade went a bit the same.

Anyway I just hope we are as shifty as some of the other clubs.
