    Re: Michael Talia

    The Swans are a vastly more experienced side who have done had many more preseasons than many of our guys. I'd expect them to be fitter and stronger but we beat them on their own dung heap in their own conditions last season so they must be lacking something.

      Easton Wood is what they lacked that day.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        All that extra fitness will help him get to more contests so he can spoil his own teammates, over and over. Happy days.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          My favourite bit is how the out in straight sets semi finalist Swans who clearly ran out of legs last year were fitter than the grand finalist Eagles.

            I suspect if Talia is somehow in the Sydney firsts come Round 15, it'll be compulsory viewing.

              Someone at Sydney has said to Talia "Don't tell anyone but we are planning on being much fitter than your old team"

                Gold. I like few words to make a strong point. Anyone left in any doubt that all our players were given the full story and allowed to make their own minds up and picked to be on Tahleeya's side?

                I'm not sure why we're even having this discussion. The AFL and Tahleeya both agree he didn't make the comments we all read in the article.

                  I don't think Stringer could have responded any better than that.

                    Has Talia's hair turned grey in a matter of weeks?

                        And this is from recently. To me looks 10-20 years older.

                            I need to see a current picture of him hunched over screaming in frustration as his opponent has outmarked him yet again to be able to make an accurate comparison.
