Media Swans Talk in the Media 2022

[caesar88]

For a sixth week in a row in AFL.com's 'Nine Things We Learned' feature, they learn nothing about us and only something about our opposition!

The Swans should receive extra funding from the AFL as reward for our excellent development of other teams every weekend.

 

[Mister B]

25 min interview with Andrew Pridham on 3AW yesterday.

Not worth tracking down imo unless you want to hear Tim Lane ask the same question 20 different times about Tasmania (Don't you agree, Tasmania deserves a team?).

They asked him almost nothing about our club.

I liked the part where the nuffie was questioning when Pridham said he was cautious about their ability to be financially viable. The bloke was involved in one of the biggest banking organisations in the world FFS. I think he knows a bit more than you Lane you flog.

IMO decent commentary by Barrett (yep I know hard to believe).
Let's face it Paddy's career will always be seen in the context of his concussions, but I think at last we are starting to see a recognition (outside of the club) that he is playing bloody well and an essential part of our defence.
To quote Barrett;

There are many facets of operations contributing to Sydney's surge this season, and the work of the McCartin duo is as important as any aspect.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Paddy contract extension will be a extremely difficult and delicate subject.

recognition from not just outside the club.. but also here on BF. Remember it was only 4 months ago that many on here didn't think he should be on the Swans list.

I think scaryness, after this week's game (in Paddy's thread), summed up my feelings;

I did not think he would be as valuable as he was, and honestly I was disappointed in the club because I was fairly strong in my conviction that he should not risk playing again. I am still on the fence about that, but it's his duckin body eh?

What I can't believe is that he is an absolute monster and is now our best defender, only a few could have seen that coming and I think even they would be shocked at what he is doing right now.

Long may he continue to prosper, in all aspects of his life.

Paddy contract extension will be a extremely difficult and delicate subject.

Why?

 

[Wolftone]

That's you opinion and others have a different few , deal with it

Why do you even have to bring this up? If the club wants a LGBTI jumper it is fine by me. We have an Indigenous jumper, a heritage jumper, an Opera house jumper etc. Why not a GLBTI jumper in support of diversity?

With regard to his body, it's none of our business...

People are allowed to climb the Alps or the Himalayan mountains, they are allowed free climb, they are allowed to trek to Artic and Antarctic circles, they are allowed to drive cars around twisty, curvy tracks at an avg speed of 189kms per hour (top speeds of 300kms)! They risk life and limb by choice, and we don't debate it.

Why do we feel we have a right to determine what is best for Paddy...

 

[BloodySwan]

 

[Punts]

Freo best team in it atm imo

 

[bedford]

Words please Bedford,

Just for you Leave it Alone why worry about that now and just enjoy it

 

[Ticky009]

Free kicks For and Free Kicks Against...LOL We're 2nd last

Ladhams our worst culprit with 28

Three interesting points made by Lloyd, all of which are thought provoking:

* Logan is now our no.1 key forward. Buddy must play a support role (as evidenced by the fact that our forward line seems to function better when Buddy isn’t there).

* Reid and Buddy can’t play in the same team - they don’t compliment each other & it’s a dilemma for Horse. Without explicitly saying it, he’s queried if Buddy is automatic best 22 every week.

*Lloyd finally admitted he played for free kicks (well duh…..)

 

[Donza]

So I watched First crack last night.

Fully expecting the trio to analyse how well the swans played vs Melbourne.

Yeah nah. All they pointed out was how poor Melbourne had been vs Freo and Sydney.

No credit.

 

[Punts]

Thought they gave us credit on pressure and ball use

Plus overall team amd covered the ground , was huge

Lloyd has been trying to write Franklin off for years.
