Am I mistaken in that they didn't actually even say 'Sydney' or 'Swans', mention any of our players or coaches at all during that "preview". I've heard some biased previews in my time but I'm not sure I've seen one where one of the teams was completely invisible.

Well, SEN are a Victorian media outlet.

Don't worry, being Victorian myself I'm well aware of how little air time we get down here but that was next level.

It was left to Brenton Sanderson who was on straight after Bucks , Bucks does rate us

Murdoch press has a story with Robert Fox , talks about his new role as a forward and this all ties into Hayward's role

Yep.. you're correct
I just listened to the 'unfurling of the flag' section thinking that was the preview
then I found that the preview was 5 mins later. Mentioning the pies, the blues and GWS.. no mention of the Swans in any way, shape or form.. Wow - not a word!

I tried looking up 'complaints' and 'comments' on SEN website, but alas there is no avenue to do so.
Maybe someone is more adept to this sort of thing than I. if so, can you please comment/complain/ask on behalf of the 2 000 000 Swans supporters for Bucks to re-review the game on friday night and at least acknowledge the Swans are playing

You are not wrong. I thought the same thing when I watched it. There was no "preview" there, just talking about Collingwood.

that'll create problems for their summary if (when) collingwood lose ... beaten by a team that wasn't even there

Don't repeat this conversation
Don't let on we've met before
Try and make like I'm a stranger
I'm a man you never saw.

I'm the invisible man

Incredible how you can
See right through me

Coincidentally enough, given the pre-game ceremony that will take place tomorrow night, also includes the lines ...

No one knows what I've been through
Let my flag unfurl

If you go to youtube page of the article they got full on roasted by a stack of Sydney peeps in the comments. Probs half of the swans board went over there to give them 2cents

I LOL at this comment "Collingwood v Sydney segment should have been called Collingwood v Collingwood!"

 

[hairy biker]

I'm getting a little sick of this complaining of Sydney's coverage for tomorrow's game.

We should be honoured and privileged that Collingwood has deigned to allow us to play them on the MCG.

I think forming a guard of honour to celebrate their premiership is the very least we can do and then making sure we give three hearty cheers when they unveil the premiership flag.

Thank you , In our paper it was a small story , then up North it was the full story Ticks

Haha, SEN slaughtered on their own YT page. Best thing I've read all week.

Are the Swans heading toward a salary cap squeeze?

Sydney added a quartet of players in the off-season whilst a host of young guns will be looking for new contracts.

Seems a lot of bs going on about our cap.

Geelongs cap is always fine...

We look like a threat again so there must be something wrong. Geelong can recruit guys like Dangerfield, Cameron and supposedly chase Oliver but we have a young player finish high in the Brownlow count and recruit a 29 year old ruckman so surely there’s a squeeze? How are we allowed to get away with having players who aren’t just triers?! Those dastardly Swans!!

As is Brisbane’s cap

These stories are written in such a fragmentary way that it's like "Whoa, Sydney are paying Grundy an extra $300,000. Do they even know that? How on earth can can they even?"

We handled one of the biggest contracts in league history and even added a year at the end but we can’t handle Grundy’s contract. I wish I was dumb/lucky enough to be a journalist.

Am sure the Pies will help by upping their subsidy.

The reality is that any media article/show in which Whately controls, the Swans will get minimal coverage. This was the most ridiculous of all but it was similar on Crunchtime on Saturday where Whately runs the show. Brisbane/Carlton got 60% of airtime, Melbourne got 30% and we were granted about 10%. I've said it on many occasions that there is bad blood between he and Horse. The only time you will ever see Horse on a Whately show is the first week of finals when ALL coaches are required to appear on 360. He will never appear on his radio show.

I'm not sure Horse has the time and focus to pay attention to what folks in the media are doing enough to beef with them. That said, as a club we're not above a media feud. Our beef with Brian Taylor was hilarious. We literally boycotted his special segment for a good few years there. We blocked journalists (not just BT) from entering the rooms after a game back in 2017. He chucked a right hissy fit over it and went on radio the next two days badmouthing us. From thereafter for a few years we were the lone club that didn't participate in his Roaming Brian segment. And he let everyone know about it every time. Seems like there's been something of a truce as he's been in our rooms a fair bit over the last few years, but his animosity towards us is still evident in his calling of our games.
