Media Swans Talk in the Media 2024

[TheGoatBaron]

I don't reckon it was mark of the week. He definitely took a dive.

Gully Catch of the Year maybe?

 

[The King!]

this is better

 

[Ticky009]

this is better

That's full on hilarious.

 

[Ticky009]

Whately bias is hilarious. He didn’t like the criticism of his and NafanNoFlags lack of mention of us in their preview of the Bloods v Pies gamw

How do you know?

 

[The King!]

That's full on hilarious.

His podcast is actually pretty good if people want a footy one, doesn't take itself too seriously

 

[bedford]

McKirdy on now

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

How do you know?

Rang the station to discuss and was told to leave it. This was after he had been criticised on social media.

Our use of the stand rule as a “tactical weapon”

Our use of the stand rule as a “tactical weapon”

Smells like a trade ban incoming for following the rules

Nah, they've done that one before. Now they'll just wipe all our premiership points

"All Sydney Academy players may be matched by St.Kilda"

It's nothing different , everyone does it , we just use it better

It's nothing really it's how we have always used the stand rule , but now we have better kicks

Oh okay, thanks Bedders. I thought it must have been some ingenious ploy that Longmire has come up with.
I do recall Dermott mumbling something about our use of the stand rule during the replay but I didn't pay any attention to it.

Rowy playing 100 this week will be on SEN after 3 tomorrow

 

[Kiama Chris]

Not bad at 23! Will turn 24 during finals.

The specific point was only taking a few quick steps back and then playing on to the side of the player "standing" the mark.

They showed Chad doing this which looked spectacular only because they used the "freeze everyone else" effect.

I expect lots of teams are doing this and some teams try to counter by staying "outside 5"

That last SEN article was spot on IMO.

Gold Coast seemed to give away that 50 against Blakey trying to do exactly that - attempting to backpedal out of the protected area, but had already been called stand.

other teams are clearly wise to it

Yeah, they gave away a lot of 50's due to inexperience and frustration.

some of that fox rankings comment stuff is is pretty questionable in comparison to most media commentary/rating of the swans' past few weeks

about the giants: "But this is where the fast start to the season helps them. Even if they’re upset by the Lions, and even if they lose to Sydney in the Round 8 derby, they’re still in an OK spot" ...

the swans have had a similarly "fast start", and after the disappointment of the richmond result we did eventually put away a west coast side that since then has proved not the "bye" everyone dismissed them as
we've now just swamped a pretty good gold coast team (just wait, they will prove it as the season unfolds), yet the general commentary is that the analysts "can't work sydney out" and there's the feeling (well, to me) that a lot of them are looking for any way at all to justify saying the swans aren't quite "legitimate"
so apparently the giants are fine, even if the swans beat them in the derby, but there'll still be question marks over sydney!??!

then melbourne, who had the bye, are ranked fourth, ahead of sydney, who won and who have beaten melbourne convincingly

and then the swans, at fifth, get: "We thought the Swans were at least a little bit at risk of an upset against Gold Coast, but after it was tight for the first half, their class allowed them to produce an impressive win. The question over Sydney remains whether they can get their game going against the best, consistently"

we won a game these clowns actually admit thinking we might have lost, and we're 5-1 with at least three strong wins of those five ...

whew, just wanted to get that out of my system ... mostly, i don't give a sh1t if the media don't rate us, and this was a bit of a topic in our first three weeks (when we on this board generally agreed it was nice to read a lot of positive commentary about us) ... but it's starting to grate again having all these brilliant footy minds either dismiss us or, worse, ignore us

The truth of the matter is that I slipped them $20 to knock us down a few spots because we play better as underdogs.
