Technically not the senior team.They actually mentioned Sydney......THAT IS HUGE!!!
Make enough calls early and you’re sure to get some right lol:Right twice in one day
Same as my grandpa's broken watch
So the media think tackling is important heySolid outing on On The Couch.
Obviously there is the mandated 5 minutes on Nick Daicos. Two other segments on Collingwood. (At least) 10 minutes on Essendon after they overpowered the might of North Melbourne. Harley Reid finally got some media attention.
We scraped in for a brief reference at the end to Parker's bump and Carlton suck at tackling.
ickyHow could you call that TLDR? I came three times reading that article!
On the Couch has now gone the same way as SEN. Will only watch it on replay. Can only listen to SEN as a normal rule via their podcasts. I listened to the means test today live only because the breakfast crew podcast wasn't up yet.Solid outing on On The Couch.

If OtC seem to have now gone back to this ridiculous concept of having a guest on every week which means that 33% of their show is dedicated to this guest. I had absolutely zero interest in listening to Stringer, so I fast forwarded it. Kept moving the ff to see a flicker of our game until I came to the realisation that we were not going to be discussed at all, AGAIN. OtC only has 45 minutes of actual on air time with 15 minutes of ads. Of those 45 minutes, Stringer was on for 15. That is a third of their show wasted on someone I had no interest in listening to. As a result of this, they are then left with 30 minutes to discuss 9 matches. Well not really as they waste 5 minutes with "the good, the bad, the ugly". So 25 minutes for 9 matches = 2.777 per game in theory. With all the carry on they go through at the start, where left with less than 2 minutes per game. Obviously, they will spend around 10 minutes talking about Collingwood every show so the likes of the Swans can "whistle dixie".
Was so much better with Gerrard and Mike SheehanOn the Couch has now gone the same way as SEN. Will only watch it on replay. Can only listen to SEN as a normal rule via their podcasts. I listened to the means test today live only because the breakfast crew podcast wasn't up yet.

TLDR?TLDR we mastered autonomous ultra instinct.
I always think that too when I see those capitals. I somehow try to get Trent Dennis Lane into .....and then I give up.TLDR?
Trent Lennis Dennis-Rane?
It was a great show in the early days with Gerard. Mike Sheehan and Robert Walls. I don't mind Buckley but bringing Brown in as one of the three was the worst mistake ever made imo. I know some will disagree with that, but I can't stand his "listen to me" attitude.Was so much better with Gerrard and Mike Sheehan
I really enjoy Buckley too, especially on SEN and find myself agreeing with a lot. Also completely agree on Brown. He adds absolutely nothing to the show.It was a great show in the early days with Gerard. Mike Sheehan and Robert Walls.

I just think it is a Melbourne Media that knows what side its head is buttered on.There must be something the Swans have done to the media outlets that have caused us to be treated like rangy dogs. I can understand Whately completely ignoring us but to have On the Couch do exactly the same - WOW. Just wait till we lose a game. They will be all over themselves talking about the side that has just beaten us.

It means too long; didn't read. Either used at the bottom of a long post to summerise the post quickly or in response to someone's post you didn't care for because it was too long and you didn't read itAll I get is Trent Lewis Dennis Roberts (née Thomson-Lane)
I'm sure you're right, but your explanation was too long; didn't readIt means too long; didn't read. Either used at the bottom of a long post to summerise the post quickly or in response to someone's post you didn't care for because it was too long and you didn't read it
I have a tehory that Grundy still taps to the oppposition but our mids have so many years of sharking the taps of dominant opposition rucks they're conditioned to run to the spot Grundy is tapping to anyway.I actually disagree with the premise. It’s easy to look at a recent instance of something being successful, attribute it to one factor or tactic that was implemented in that instance and anoint it as “the answer”.
But on the whole we’ve not been dominant out of centre bounces this year.
Dominance like that depends on a period of ruck taps to the right place.
If we do that all the time, other teams will come up with ways to counteract it.
I don’t believe there is a single style of tactic (in a part of the ground) that works all the time. Flexibility and variety are valuable components.
Indeed, one of the things I’ve been impressed with this year (and that gives me as much optimism as our ladder position) is that we’ve won in different ways. That third quarter on Friday was the first time we’ve gone into full beast mode this year. It was beautiful to watch but I doubt any team can play like that for four quarters every week. At other times (eg against Freo and Hawthorn) we seemed almost content to let the opposition rack up clearances, relying more on our turnover prowess and ability to punish heavily.
Will update as the podcasts are loaded up - so dont forget to come back for another look.
