Conclusive proof that it is only Midder Powell livin’ the dream.

Swannies’ Skipper, Dukesy, flew back into Melbourne on Saturday – and a barrage of updates commenced.

First, he opened up the Age newspaper – and there was a review of the AFL Footy Almanac (the Foreword to the Almanac was, of course, written by the Swannies’ very own controversial umpire, Rocket).

Midder Powell takes livin’ the dream very seriously. “Yeah. Sure.”

Next, he turned the page and, in Dukesy’s own words,

“Saw this advert (about Kathmandu – see above) on arrival to Oz today. Who are Kathmandu kidding? They clearly haven’t met Midder Powell!”

As shown in the picture above, Midder Powell certainly has the bookends of livin’ the dream covered.

At the left end of the bookshelf, Midder Powell has recently gone sailing through the tropical waters of Thailand.

Then, at the other end of the bookshelf we have the conclusive results of a recent poll. On 7 December, thevietnamswans.com decided to enlist the help of Polldaddy to find out once and for all what the people thought.

The question posed on Polldaddy, now affectionately known as Powelldaddy, was, “Do you think Midder Powell is livin’ the dream?”

Unbelievably, 100 per cent of punters agreed – an unprecedented result on Polldaddy. So, it’s official. Mr Powell is officially livin’ the dream – as shown in such dramatic fashion on Polldaddy!

When asked to comment on Kathmandu’s startling claim, Mr Powell replied:

“If you think you can live the dream with Kathmandu, you’re bleedin’ dreamin’ “.
