News Swans Talk in the Media 2019

[The King!]

There was once a time where if you wanted to play at the highest level at all you either moved to Victoria or you missed out. I know there are things like mental health, family etc that need to be considered but at the end of the day, these kids say it's a dream come true when they're drafted, then several years in get homesick and want out. So considering it's their "dream" to play AFL, they sure seem to attach conditions to that dream when it suits them.

We have better awareness of mental health and happiness now I guess

Then there is the old well they didn’t choose to go to another state they are forced to be drafted where ever suits

I have no problem with a player who has become good enough to choose wanting out of places

But the club has to put itself first of course

I think as a rule if you sign a contract then too bad really, maybe we could introduce player and team options on contracts

I’d also be willing to see strong free agency and movement for players, but I’d have the ability for teams to trade contracted players

Seems as though we are balls deep into Bennell:

what does that mean??
If Bennell chooses us, we get him as a DFA?
If he goes to the pre-season sup selection.. its the first club that bids?

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

While he hopes to be running in two weeks’ time, the expectation is that Bennell will be on a modified program until the new year.

He's not even f*cking running right now?? On top of 2 games in 4 years? Knock yourselves out.

DFA yes, supp selection is similar to DFA except you’re just ‘free’ as you may not have been drafted before. There’s no bidding.

 

[Kapanis]

Yep, Buddy also chose top 4 over bottom 4 and wanted a change of city

Adam Goodes is a big reason why he wanted Sydney Swans, nothing to do with what you said. I know this as fact.

Will do well to finish a NEAFL game.

What didn't happen in the trading period

There's a natural inclination for all of us to barrack for the trade, and in particular, to lavish hope and praise on the clubs that land players with name recognition. But it's quite possible that clubs who didn't make big moves will be better placed in the perpetual premiership race.

Gerard Healy has stuck up for us in the Paps and Daniher deals , not like rats like Barrett and McLure .

Great article. You have to laugh at the media for getting pissed off at clubs for doing what's in their own best interests as opposed to doing what will fill the media's pockets

Barrett and McClure are human clickbait. They're not journalists. Their job is to manufacture drama.

They're rats or cockroaches

What a muppet Curley is. Nothing to do with what the club would want and everything to do with what the broadcasters would want. ******* night / twilight games. After the last two seasons, the club would be ******* idiots to be demanding big clashes at night.

No more blockbusters for us

Should be a cracker GC game

Agreed. Amazing how in footy people lose commonsense. If you decline to spend a million bucks on a 500k house you don't walk away thinking it's a failure.

Well we finished bottom 4 why should we be rewarded?

Carlton says "Hi".

We aren't a Victorian club tho.

 

[RW]

We'll probably get a prime time game against the Hawks, same as usual.

Fox Footy has given Neroli Meadows the arse , terrible decision as she is just about the best female in the footy media. Always smiling and made the guests feel comfortable . I know it's not Swans , but she has interviewed quite a few Swans.

Agreed, she was very good. I thought I read somewhere that she’s actually a Swans fan.

I wonder why she got the push.
