Media creating a story then debating it

Not sure if already mentioned, the whole Buddy thing was a hypothetical raised by Bob Murphy on SEN, he made it all up and publicly stated he was making it all up. The level of journalism in this country is just so low it is embarrassing

From SMH
'They're creaking': Swans are the contested kings no more
ANDREW WU APRIL 17, 2019
When the Swans last faced Richmond in June, they were playing off for top spot on the ladder, but their performances since are not consistent with that of a side that will push for September.
...
The Swans have won just five of their past 14 games
..
Melbourne after half-time week, returning a contested possession differential of -31
..
"For me the major factor is they cannot sustain pressure on a side for four quarters," Jude Bolton, a dual premiership-winner, said. "It's 10 minutes here, 15 later on. Their burst is superb, but when the momentum changes, they can't push back."

I’m not even bothering with the Buddy trade talk, let them waste their own click bait created by a hypothetical. Seriously, what a crock of shite.

Well that's an admission that he took it too easy so full credit to Jordan for that. It also reinforces that we know nothing that is really going on in those one on one conversations between players & coaches & that they know who deserves games ahead of others based on hard work.
Jordan is a classic example that no matter how much skill one seems to have, it's all for nothing if you aren't prepared to put the hard work in.

Once again, I rather back our qualified coaches at the club over the backstreet coaches on here.

If Longmire suggested the team invade Russia in the winter you would think it was a great idea.

Article by Tom Morris noting that our era of dominance may be over

 

[caesar88]

By this year we won’t have finished top four in any of the last three seasons. Doesn’t take Stephen Hawking to figure out our era of dominance is over!

Only if you were conscripted to go.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The bloke was 1.5k over. Not a hanging offence, but he clearly treated it very seriously. I hope he makes it at our Club, not some some other mob.

As for Tedeski

I'd rather back people who watch the footy (inc the many I debate with) and think about it than cravenly polish apples hoping for a koala stamp.

Did he really need to write an article to tell us that? I think the whole AFL world knows this!

He wants his end of year bonus so just churning out some fodder to reach the bare minimum required

What were your thoughts on the Bombers v North after watching it live & I'll be interested on your thoughts after the Cats v Hawks game Monday & the Saints v Melbourne today as I'll be doing the double header from the G over to Marvel.
That will make it 4 I will have attended this weekend.
We'll disect on Tuesday.

Oh well done Tedeski. That is huge. My best was three. Happy to dissect during the week. I'm reduced now to watching on telly.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Longmire is way too defensive for that.

I reckon Morris is on the money , it's not bagging us , but telling it how it is.

He’s not bagging us but he’s being paid good money just for stating the bleeding obvious

That's no good. I love watching on telly B52 but you can't see what the players who aren't around the contest are doing. It also helps one appreciate players that perhaps aren't going as hard at it & those that are. The Bombers for example, were just left alone to take the corridor & switch play across the ground with kicks going 40 meters or greater which suggests to me that North were so far behind their direct opponents showing them a lack of respect & hoping that the Bombers would miss their targets for their turnovers. It didn't happen as there was no pressure whatsoever. North are the worst team in the AFL thus far. I also saw them live against the Hawks a few weeks ago. Same, same. Made the Hawks look like potential premiers.
The Bombers were made to look better than they actually are.
When on song, we are a much more accountable team than this, though at present we are a fair way off doing it for the required 4 quarters.

You just can't see how hard a team works defensively on TV.

Well so would you stating the bleeding obvious !
