Because when they were the best we would beat then , Crouch would destroy Acker etc and they hated it . But i love his knowledge and honesty

We would be the only team that could go with them during their 3 peat side even at their fortress.

That being said articles like the one he posted were damaging to the club.

Haha - Bucks talk about us hassling them for lack of Swans love. First up and then last item which includes a mention of JJ/Swans tagging along as part of the art of tagging.


The Ratings from Whately and King - Swans first Daylight 2nd lol

All throughout the Whately/King means test, we were told that today's PFI was the Swans. Waited and waited when finally they went to the seedings which was the last segment. No PFI for the day. Probably the first time this show has not run the PFI. For those who don't know PFI stands for preliminary final integrity.
Sent a text to SEN again highlighting this and pointing out that Whately had outdone himself today.
Was interesting to hear Buck's comment that SEN had received a number of texts regarding the lack of talk about the Swans over the past couple of weeks. Maybe they do read them afterall.

 

[ashep]

Yeah that was a stellar article. I really liked how they broke down individual plays and looked at the mechanics involved in each one.

And I agree that it's our smaller, more set midfield group that's leading to its success, though that doesn't surprise me. The media always talk about large midfield rotations, and then the premiership is won each year by a team that predominantly uses the same three or four mids. It goes without saying that more consistency in game time in the midfield together will lead to more cohesion in the midfield together.

I think Friday night was the clearest example yet of that cohesion bearing fruits. That centre clearance work in the 3rd term looked like a group who knew exactly what they were doing and what each other was doing.

How can you say it doesn't surprise you after you repeatedly said earlier in the season said the same midfield is our weakness, isn't anywhere near it and our coaches have no idea how to use them?

I'm glad it isn't just me. I listened to the Means Test while pottering around doing other things, heard them promise a PFI assessment on the Swans later in the show (after acknowledging that we deserved more coverage than we've been receiving) and then, when they finished abruptly with the seedings I wondered if my attention had been diverted by my pottering activities and I'd just missed it. I was going to go back and listen again, except now I know it wasn't my attention being diverted.

Did they deliberately tease us, just to make our irritation worse? Or just get the timings wrong? Or they rain the PFI but edited it out of the podcast?

I was listening to it live, so it wasn't edited out of the podcast.
I can guarantee 100% they wouldn't miss anything if Geelong were winning matches.
We keep saying it and it continues to be proven - Whately hates the Swans.

There is no reason for him to hate us 2022 surely would of satisfied his thirst.

 

[caesar88]

The media have shown themselves that clueless that we shouldn't even want their attention. It'd be akin to being a political candidate and getting a moral endorsement from Donald Trump.

Pass.

You're right. There is no reason for his hatred of the Swans that I know of but he has proven it time and time again that it is there.

Yeah I saw the description of the episode on Spotify so listened all the way through waiting for a bit of analysis on the swans. Am I mistaken in thinking they covered every game except ours. The only mentions I recalled were our number 1 seeding and when they mentioned we would be the dogs opponent this Thursday night.

No, you're not mistaken MF.

Injuries and then the side itself having a few bad seasons. He kinda lost his way

BUMP - another early call on Feb 25 with the minor premiers call.

Right twice in one day

Solid outing on On The Couch.

Obviously there is the mandated 5 minutes on Nick Daicos. Two other segments on Collingwood. (At least) 10 minutes on Essendon after they overpowered the might of North Melbourne. Harley Reid finally got some media attention.

We scraped in for a brief reference at the end to Parker's bump and Carlton suck at tackling.
