News Swans Talk in the Media 2023

[bedford]

Our club might not whine about father/sons but I do. Load of rubbish.

Not at all . Imagine if Buddy's kid is a star junior , just leave it

Hopefully Buddy has a few more kids. hehe. Then Collingwood will want to change the rules again. Collingwood is behind all of this. Eddie two hands is manipulating things at AFL. F..... Stuff Eddie and his conniving ways.
Bring it on Eddie. Lets put it all on the table.
How many academy players have Sydney had over the years vs how many father sons have Collingwood had?
Why does your team enjoy MCG access more than other teams in Vic?
Bring on the valid arguments and valid reasoning.
You will be shown up for your full as shit comments.
The Fat Contoller may be ultimately responsible for the demise of Collingwood and the concessions that Collingwood has had to deliver them concessions to win premierships recently. Share both Vic venues between all Vic clubs. No father sons anymore.
You want fair. Lets make everything fair Fat Controller.

Wrong thread (joking ) there is a stat somewhere that says how many kids go through the academy and the % of how many make the top

The stat that I'd love to see is what % of elite kids enter Aussie rules in each state. Without the academies it would be pretty near zero I would think.

NRL have a real stranglehold - we def need the academies. NRL signing up kids - rugby really struggling as a result and so would we without the academies.

 

[Bandicoot]

He is just prearming the information space because he is knows big Vic clubs are coming at our academies. Vic advantages need to be on the table TOO if any changes are made to academies. This MUST BE all in. All advantages to all clubs must be on the table if any changes to anything is being considered.

Why does Collingwood get to play their home and away games at the MCG and other Vic clubs like St Kilda and Western Bulldogs play at the covered oval. Stuff Collingwood. All Vic clubs should share both venues. Stuff Collingwood members and their entitled sense of me.
That is only point 1. Like I said, if you want to make changes to academies because you think it is unfair then let's put everything on the table. I could come up with at least 20 points. If they want this then we want those.

The reason Collingwood play all their games at the G is simple. $$$$.
At the end of the day, that outweighs anything else from the AFL's perspective.

I know that. But if they want things fair and are looking at making things less fair for the Northern States at no cost to big Vic then I hope we fight them hard.

They will win

 

[Membling]

They will win

Oh definitely.

Would like to see the club be aggressive on the important issues however

Looking forward to the shit fight between Us, Hawks and the Gold Coast academy about who gets Buddy's kids

Be like Blakey all over again

 

[Cadsky]

Looking forward to the s**t fight between Us, Hawks and the Gold Coast academy about who gets Buddy's kids

Be like Blakey all over again

Yep. He will end up at GC

 

[rustycrate]

They will win

Whether they win or not, I hope we fight them hard. This is just like the playground at primary school. The AFL are the year 6 kids. They set the rules. We are the year 2 kids. We can take their lunch, we can put mud in their bags.
We need to make everyone in the AFL industry aware of all advantages to every club.
We may even get St Kilda and Western Bulldogs and other clubs onside about MCG access.
Of course there will be compromises. The AFL is so compromised they have to compromise their compromises.
Anything big Vic clubs gain need to be at substantial cost.
Even if we don't manage to extract cost. I just want us to fight them hard.

Sucks as it seems like a sudden and unexpected decision. We may have been blind sided here. I hope we can find a decent replacement

That sucks but we've built our premiership list. Only a couple long term holes which need plugging at this stage and feel confident Beatson can more than handle that

 

[Punts]

Premiership list

Let’s hope anyway

We'll be doing more than hoping!! That's for certain!!

looks like the perfect addition to elevate their talented, young midfielders. Sydney has also added plenty of experience to prepare it for another finals charge. It should be eyeing off at least a home final and pushing for another deep run in September.

How many ‘what every coach wants/needs’ & ‘each teams wish list’ articles have been smashed in the last couple of weeks?

AFL writers surely hate themselves.. actually na, they prob participate in regular circle jerks about how good their articles are
