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.
x3
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.
