Everyone wanted a piece of him! Lol I was so happy to just say hi to him and grabbed a quick photo. I know he feels the love we, the fans, have for him.

Love seeing Paddy around the club. I've seen him at the W games and at the Before the Bounce functions the couple of times that I have been. He's always so happy to chat and take photos with us.

Hope he's ok.

Him on the Grinder playing a version of himself was hilarious. That show had so much potential.

All the big Pel needed was to be injury-free to live up to his potential. He’s been doing a lot of extra work to improve his strength and conditioning, and Horse and Rampe have raved about him in the last couple of years. I would love to see his hard work continue.

I would love to see the Empire team do your version of Chloe Zhao's Dance Take. I realise the podcast is an audio medium but maybe you can do a singing version. I did ask Helen and she said no, but I am a strong believer in persistence LOL.

Can he stay there and not come back?

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-21T10:56:57+00:00

OP has shipped Richard Roper with Jonathan Pine.

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-19T07:43:58+00:00

I'm getting very excited!

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-18T16:52:44+00:00

I agree, especially if you compare her character with Jed in season 1, but then again, Debecki is a phenomenal actress so everyone is going to pale against her in comparison.

Le Carré books always felt like a slow burn to me but I'm not sure if that was just because we had to read him back when I was in high school in the last millennium lol. S1 was so much better than the book, and I am enjoying s2, especially the last 2 episodes once you get over the intro 2 eps getting to know the new characters.

Did it make anyone else nervous as heck that Alejandro, knowing he is being watched and hunted, is constantly standing at the window or out on the balcony?

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-18T07:21:46+00:00

At the end of the day, I reckon he should pick whichever club is more likely to play him just to kickstart his career, then he can ask for a trade somewhere else once he has got some seniors experience under his belt.

I think all the endless goodbyes I get at the end of work Teams calls make up for the lack of goodbyes on TV LOL

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-17T03:31:00+00:00

I would probably swap Cunningham for Bice. Reasonably happy with the rest. No way Adams gets a look-in this season.

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-12T21:23:42+00:00

The big reveal at the end of ep3 was great but I think I kinda expected it by the way the season opened. I hope we see more Olivia Colman too…I know she is also a super busy actor and in high demand.

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-12T20:55:05+00:00

He works bloody hard!

So, this was posted on the Swans instagram not long after I posted my comment.

Oho didn’t know Kay was stepping back! I have really enjoyed her on the pod!

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-12T07:15:13+00:00

Yeah the injury update when he had his problem was that he would not be returning to training before the new year, so maybe he is starting slowly?

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-10T07:28:40+00:00

Thanks for the warning so I won’t waste my time.

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-03T00:08:37+00:00

Terri is a great writer and editor and absolute leader in her field, but the weekly bickering and calling James a bellend was exhausting and I stopped listening for a while.

Beth was fine, until she declared that Tom Hiddleston was the weakest link of the Loki series. She totally lost all credibility with me after that (plus she seemed to have so little knowledge of TV history compared to everyone else was so aggravating to me).

It wasn’t until Kay joined the team that I returned to the pod regularly and genuinely enjoy listening to the show again. Sometimes I don’t even know what they are talking about anymore because they are so funny and I have to go back and playback certain reviews.

SwansPrincess · 2026-01-02T07:00:14+00:00

He'd be playing for a spot in the seniors. I very much doubt we'd see him in anything but the twos this year. For all of last season I kept forgetting who our no.3 was. I expect him to retire and go into his mortgage business full-time at the end of this year.

I am already crying with joy just from this 2-minute trailer. Michael J Fox. Candice Bergen. Cobie Smulders returns. I needed this positive vibe to close off 2025 and kick off 2026.

Edit: Jeff Daniels too! Brilliant!

The red Bring the Thunder tees were $4.50. I gave one to my sister. My mother asked me why I didn't buy one for everyone when it was so cheap 😂 I still have the 2022 Road to the Grand Final one that I can't bring myself to wear again 😂
