This is the first time in a long time where we're looking like one of the best couple of teams in it, with a recent track record that means people assume it's sustainable.

We're not even just around the mark but a genuine early flag favourite and I think the most of the national footy media in Melbourne are definitely recognising and enthusing about it appropriately right now.

The Lizard on 3AW this afternoon:

Essendon's new style of play was on Sydney's according pre-game according to Nick Blakey - 3AW is Football

Nick Blakey joined the 3AW team following Sydney's win over Essendon.

Very professional interview from Blakey. I'm impressed. Authentic. Disciplined. Some interesting bits e.g. we don't mind losing the initial scramble sometimes. Nothing groundbreaking in his description of Horse but still managed to be illuminating.

Here's FoxSport's recap on the win (video)

AW and 9 presenter Tony chompers Jones

Did he play? He sounded like he had it in for us.

I don't like how Tony Jones the Collingwood fan is saying the swans did the same against them and Daicos.

We didn't knock their players out. Completely different.

Bombers tried to legit injure us where possible.

 

[Cadsky]

Just get Papley to have a chat with him. They're best mates.

 

[Ticky009]

I think we can resign ourselves to the only discussion on our game is going to be on Wright with a very small...hey the Swans are still good comment.

I think we can resign ourselves to the only discussion on our game is going to be on Wright with a very small...hey the Swans are still good comment.

I think our game, style and some of our players are receiving plenty of positive attention.

Equally I think the Wright and to some extent Edge issues merit attention. Late cheap coward shots seems to be the dna of the Edge. I want focus on that because I think deliberate late from behind actions like that of Draper on Lloyd like kicking and squirrel grips need to be expunged from the game.

Anyone watch first crack?

I wanted to but I hate Bounce and it isn't worth sitting up through. My guess is Montanga had nothing nice to say and it was all about the Wright bump

Pretty much. Not surprised that Montagna was defending wright with the usual, "what was he supposed to do," argument.

The Bounce is the worst footy show I've ever seen.

It's not a footy show.

 

[SM]

Anyone watch first crack?

Yes, praised our spread and said we were the best transition team in the comp. Praised Gulden and said he was the fittest mid in the comp. Plenty of praise for us.

 

[Ticky009]

If you can get online and watch Footy Furnace bit of Swans talk on there
1) Grundy & McLean best ruck combo
2) Cunningham incident
3) Swans ball movement

Yeah I tried to stay up by watching the IPL game.
Then ZZZZZ.

Over summer, the Swans focused on two things: bringing their strengths and taking the game on. The result is a spot in the top two of the ladder and the rest of the competition on notice. (Lachie McKirdy)

Slick Swans

Football is about possessions. If one team has the ball, the other team doesn’t. And then it’s about what the team does with the ball which separates wins from losses. The Swans get value for their possessions, which is why this talent-laden mob is not only one of the most exciting teams, but also one of the flag contenders. Simply, their midfielders turn possessions into scores. Look at Saturday night’s game and compare Sydney’s major ball-winners against Essendon’s major ball winners. The Swans had Isaac Heeney (32 touches and 13 involvements), Chad Warner (28 and 14), Tom Papley (24 and 13), Errol Gulden (24 and 11), Justin McInerney (22 and 11) and Jake Lloyd (22 and eight). Essendon’s list was Zach Merrett (32 disposals and 10 score involvements), Nic Martin (31 and four), Will Setterfield

(23 and 11) and Archie Perkins (21 and four). Sydney’s top dogs had a combined 70 score involvements compared to Essendon’s 38 score involvements. Clearly, the Swans’ midfield group influenced the scoreboard and outside of the hard-working Merrett, the Essendon midfield laboured.


DISLIKES

Wright is very wrong

The most meaningless defence for Essendon’s Peter Wright is: What else could he do? It’s lame. What he could’ve done was contest the footy. Sydney’s Harry Cunningham kept his eyes on the ball, knowing, as he backed into the space, that the likelihood was an opponent was coming at him. His courage was without question. Wright ran to the contest and at the final moments, he dropped his arms, tucked his body and cannoned into Cunningham. He had three choices: 1. Slow down knowing he would be late to the contest. 2. Contest the ball with a spoil, or 3. Run the risk of putting Cunningham into next week. He ran the risk. It was said Cunningham had memory loss because of the incident and that medical evidence will help deliver Wright a suspension of four to five weeks.

The Bounce is the worst footy show I've ever seen.

Unwatchable hot garbage. Is the remarkably unfunny Gaze still on the … ahem … show?
