News Swans Talk in the Media 2019

[The King!]

Can only ever take those articles with a grain of salt. I'll always remember Jared Brennan was billed as the next big thing

If it said we were the best young side though?

 

[The King!]

Lions will be ripe for poaching

 

[BloodySwan]

If it said we were the best young side though?

Then I'd definately know they're wrong

 

[Cadsky]

Which part is incorrect

Our kids are massively overrated by a lot on here

I'd have Brissy and blues ahead of us. Port, dogs, GWS is a stretch imo.

 

[SGBeach]

We include Oriordan, Allir, Jones, Hewit and Heeney in our young group.. Those players make a difference.
If it was the best u24's rather than the best u23's, I reckon we'd be closer to the top

Article was probably made that way deliberately

 

[Punts]

Agree with them

 

[caesar88]

Brisbane's are over-rated

 

[robbieando]

Brisbane's are over-rated

Right......

 

[The King!]

Brisbane's are over-rated

Agree

Not even top of the ladder

Useless

 

[The King!]

I skimmed a few other boards every fan group thinks they have the best youngsters just about or theirs are at least underrated

5th is generous for us that’s a fair assessment

How many 23 and under will be a graders over their career?

Blakey maybe/probably

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

That McHandbag kid is dire...Hipwood is an unco giraffe

 

[caesar88]

Agree

Not even top of the ladder

Useless

They are where they are because of all of their players 24 and over. That's where the irony comes in.

Blakey maybe/probably

Agree. I think it is generous. How they prosper under Longmire is open to question. Blakey looks good, Hayward, Florent and Rowbottom have shown enough to suggest they are 100+ gamers.

The youngster I think has the biggest upside is McCartin. He is an excellent pack mark and has the smarts. Last year there were times when he was the one tall on the forward line and he shouldered the responsibility and was not disgraced. I would like him to settle in one position.

Dawson also has a ton of smarts but has been asked to pretty much play everywhere. He is already playing at a level considerably ahead of our under 23 year olds. Not certain how far we are from seeing him reach his optimum. Yes he will get better with experience and finally having the confidence of the coaches, however I don't expect him to be a champ, just a bloody good player.

Yep agree.. I reckon (like you're description of Dawson) we've got 10-15 'bloody good young players' . Lets look to trade a couple of elite ones

yeah dawson could be a grade top 10-20 in comp

florent and co no, could be long term good clubmen of course

 

[RW]

florent and co no, could be long term good clubmen of course

That's all we need them to be really. We never had the most talented list even in our premiership years.

hey if you get 150-200 games from someone that's usually good

some exceptions

Or underrated

BACK ON MEDIA Bernard Toohey is on SEN now . One of the toughest we've had.

 

[BloodySwan]

I don't think Heeney is close to his ceiling yet but time will tell

 

[bedford]

What's that got to do with the media ?

Actually not interested , I do my own ratings. I just went on and I saw the Heeney comment, maybe that's for General Discussion.
