Nah I wasnât being a smart a.rse and asking a question I know the answer to. Genuinely have no idea.
Just thought you might live in Sydney and get starved of the chance to watch much footy so you go along to Swans games and therefore feel some sort of affinity to them. Because you farking love them clearly haha!!
Diggers is a Hollywood High boy. Just like Rove.
In fact. I have never seen him and Rove in the same room at the same time

Itâs funny, Iâve just always liked them. You know how some people have a second team? It goes all the way back to the 80âs. Barry Round, Tilt Carter, Gerard Healy, Barry Mitchell, Warwick Capper. I even didnât mind them when G Buckenara was coach and they lost something like 28 games in a row. Always kept one eye on how theyâre going but since L FRANKLIN made his way there, I canât get enough. I giggle like a schoolgirl every time he gets the ball. I canât help it. Because we go to the football to see big blokes do awesome things, donât we?

I know of all those guys apart from âTiltâ Carter.
TILT? Was that his nickname or his actual name? Haha.
Fair enough, you just like watching them play. Canât really argue with that! And there was probably an underdog element to your support as well if you were following them in the 80âs and early 90âs.

AFL slaps Swans with $20k fine for Buddy, Parker injections

AFL 2016 Toyota AFL Grand Final - Sydney v Western Bulldogs
Lance Franklin has been $5k for breaches of AFL treatment rules

No second-year blues in sight for Swan Mills
SYDNEY has been fined $20,000, with half of it suspended, for failing to disclose cortisone injections taken by Luke Parker and Lance Frankin during last yearâs finals series.
Parker and Franklin were both fined $5000 for not completing the required paperwork under the AFLâs treatment rules.
According to the League, the Swans failed to keep and maintain a complete, accurate and up-to-date Register of Controlled Treatments in the AFLâs Controlled Treatments Register.
The breach does not concern any WADA rules and all treatments used by the players were WADA approved.
In both cases, Franklin and Parker received anti-inflammatory treatment cortisone, a WADA-compliant treatment, but inadvertently failed to declare this as required by the rules.
âIn this case, the AFL notes that the club doctor maintained his own thorough medical records of treatments legitimately provided to players,â the AFL said in a statement.
"However, clubs must also maintain such records on the Controlled Treatments Register database to enable the AFL to proactively monitor industry trends and target test players as required.
âThe AFL took into account that the clubâs failure in this case was an oversight during an intense pre-and-post Grand Final period, and that the club otherwise had excellent medical procedures.â
The AFL Treatment Rules were introduced in 2013 to go above and beyond the WADA Code and ensure the League can effectively monitor football related supplements and medications provided to AFL players.
Parker went into last yearâs Grand Final against the Western Bulldogs under an injury cloud after injuring the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee in the preliminary final against Geelong.
Franklin hurt his right ankle in the opening term of the premiership decider and was off the ground for five minutes receiving treatment.
The superstar forward, who was also battling a shoulder problem, returned to the field but was clearly limited throughout the majority of the match.
