  10. Refreshing to see the Swans holding their players accountable. What happened was well below the expected conduct for role models. Standards need to mean something. Women deserve respect and safety - that's baseline.

  15. @jonathantrott I think the Swannies will *probably* win, especially with both of the Tobies now out with injuries.

    It really has been that kind of year for the Giants, where they lost to West Coast and Essendon. And yet managed to beat four of the top six (Fremantle, Brisbane, Hawthorn, and Melbourne).

    So it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

    How it's tended to happen is the Giants are within three or four goals at halftime (or three quarter time), and then pile on a bunch of goals in a quarter.

    Anyways, we'll soon see!

  17. I'd seen the IREN hoarding advertising at the #SydneySwans SCG game. Wondered who IREN was but had no special reason to follow up.
    It turns out IREN is AI. "Nasdaq-listed tech company IREN is behind the massive data centre, which is proposed to be operating in 2028 at Bundey, two-and-a-half hours north-east of Adelaide." IREN is a "Premier Partner" of the Swans.
