News Swans Talk in the Media: 2021

[Ticky009]

So thanks to the awesome Kennedy Parker you will notice a sticky post at the top of the pages now. This link will take you directly to the Swans YouTube channel which features interviews etc.

I think it entirely appropriate that one of our own Tony Armstrong on Yokayi footy speaks on Adam.

Yokayi Footy: Adam Goodes, you're already in OUR Hall of Fame

Tony Armstrong explains why Adam Goodes' humanity is a legacy that will always endure

"If you think people who have made a career out of stoking prejudice and hatred are scum, and particularly in the context of them stoking racist attitudes to destroy the twilight years of one of the club's greats, then that's just a difference of opinion and truly, you're the baddy for thinking that reflects badly in them"

Is a hell of a take tbh. Can't say I agree, or think there is any merit in it at all, or that voicing it reflects well in you. But yeah, it's definitely a take.

I don't necessarily agree with the aforementioned trio on the Goodes issue but to label them as scum for having an opinion that differs from yours is uncalled for.

If you were to label people as scum who disagreed with you on a given subject matter then everyone would be scum on that basis.

Personally, the people I respect the least over the Goodes issue are the thousands that booed him around the country - they are the biggest offenders for mine.

Most people actually are scumbags.

Just a reminder all - no playing the man. Discussions have been relatively coherent and valid but you're all starting to drift a bit.

It's own thread ?

 

[Ticky009]

It's own thread ?

I'm happy to let the conversation run its course on here for the rest of the week providing it stays on topic, Bedders. After that we'll can revisit the issue.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Better not to have a stand alone thread. It will only attract blowies and Boltheads from other Clubs/Boards.

 

[Ticky009]

A reminder of the sticky thread link at the top of the page. New vids include JPK on re-signing, Ollie Florent, Injury Update and Round 13 game day news.
Enjoy.

He is a great man big Tone, love his work - a refreshing and enlightening part of footy media.

Mate, in my time I have seen some outstanding buns... some on the head and some not, but I can't every recall saying, Wow! Take a look at that mullet in a positive way!

Ohhhhh bedford ... Buns, mullet... all delicious!

Interesting, I actually thought Geelong should have beaten us by around 6 goals which is about what the model predicted.

Teams that are more accurate usually do well, as goalkicking accuracy is the one stat that hasn't really improved over time...

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

What's wrong with man buns? The beat the mullett every single day of the week!

No one is scared of a bloke prancing around with a bloody manbun. I say that only in a footy sense.

As well, if you’re worried about your bloody hair you’re not worrying about putting your head over the bloody ball.

I can’t count the number of players who have found their footy mojo when they’ve turned up to preseason with a sensible haircut.

Richard Gorder has just released a statement saying Adam declined earlier in the year and didn't want that to get out. Someone might be able to get it up on here .

Then who the * leaked it? And they should be thrown out of the AFL and the media.

 

[kelpie_X]

So much for him ‘attention seeking’.

Yeah but some campaigner is trying hard to paint him with a bad brush

 

[kelpie_X]

I think people are taking it the wrong way , i heard this live

I agree. I never heard the interview, but I have read two different versions now of Tim Watson's "quote". The first version I read it seemed like he was talking about the two parties not being able to have come to a reconciliation. Tonight is the first time I have seen it quoted as The Gong has quoted it.

Now I'll never know the truth Thank you internet!

 

[kelpie_X]

Dick that Lyon is it was Tim Watson that was saying get over it.

Actually, that would be a good name for a pub...

The Dick and Lyon

 

[kelpie_X]

Went into Goodesy thread on the main board briefly.

Decided to remove myself before I got myself banned again.

So many d_heads in there.

Yeah they are not worth it mate

Must say, I've been impressed by Armstrong. I wouldn't have necessarily picked him as a media personality during his playing days but he has an easy way on screen and seems to ask well planned and often thought provoking questions of his guests. Still loves the Swannies too.

 

[anotherletdown]

Just down the road from The Bear and Bandicoot.

Huge difference between the respective clientele though. Give me the B&B any day of the week!
