    Swan suspended by Pies

    COLLINGWOOD has decided to suspend Brownlow Medallist Dane Swan over a night on the town last Sunday.

    It is believed the Magpies will ban Swan from their next two matches,
    against the Sydney Swans and North Melbourne.

    A Magpies player challenged Swan about his condition at training on
    Monday, and a meeting with coach Nathan Buckley and at least two other
    players followed.

    Recently, the club's players pledged to refrain from drinking alcohol
    until the end of the season.

    Swan is understood to have denied drinking alcohol on Sunday night,
    admitting he went out but only consumed water before getting home at
    midnight.

    Collingwood officials could not be contacted.

      My guess is Swan was forcing booze and drugs down Li'l Libba's throat all night.

            will the AFL investigate? Of course not.

                    In all seriousness we have flowm under the radar again.

                    A coach was sacked on the same day and now this.

                    The media don't and haven't gone hard on this at all.

                    Why is that?
                    More of an In Bruges guy?

                          I think his age and last name have played a part . I think the Liberatore name is so synonymous with 100% commitment to footy that this incident is being perceived as a one off error of judgement for an otherwise highly committed young player.

                            It's interesting you say that. I think commercial realities are more prevalent though, and family traits don't come into it. Libba senior has been an easy target for the media for a while now, if we were playing out the season for a spot in the top four the club would be under a lot more scrutiny.

                            It's probably a good thing in some ways Tom plays for us, rather than a side that has any hope of being competitive from a finals perspective. Or one that is slightly important with respect to media exposure.
                            TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                              Maybe we are a bit irrelevant ATM.
