Really interesting to hear we are 3rd most difficult to move the ball against. I would love to know how they managed that one, because it doesn't feel like that. Idk, maybe Cox is doing more than we realise.

It's not obvious because we haven't been able to put on a winning score to make use of it. But it all counts for nothing if Cox doesn't get us back to where we were offensively. If you had to pick one of those modes to be excelling in, it's the offensive transition game by a long way. Being exceptional offensively whilst being poor defensively was still good enough to get us into a GF - the other way around puts you into Stkilda, Freo, Melbourne territory.

Score more than the opposition is the aim of the game after all. If your offence is better than the opposing team you're going to win 9 times out of 10.

I like having a good attack

The seatbelt sign was illuminated?

Comedian accuses AFL team of using a flight like their 'private jet'

The Sydney Swans turned their season around with a desperately needed win over the Power on Saturday - but one moment on their plane home left another flyer scratching her head.

What is the daily mail lol

Afl need to do proper reflective documentaries for all premiership sides, more like American sides. More 30 for 30 style would be good

 

[Nool Carpenna]

Sooo defensive.

Fancy somebody not appreciating footy like it's life and death. She's not making accusations... she's having a laugh as somebody with a different perspective.... that footy analysis is so damn important that it. Just. Can't. Wait.

These sort of knee-jerk responses are exactly what makes her observations funny to the parts of society that aren't entirely absorbed by footy culture.

And what a surprise... a part of the footy community will go so far as to call her "a waste of space".

Media is a case of “if you come, they will build it”.

They’ll make more of whatever gets an audience.

All of it is a piss-take really haha.. just serves to piss off one side or the other.

People getting annoyed at the poster, and then people supporting the poster, getting annoyed at ‘men’…

Big brain stuff all together in one post.. best just to ignore it

I’m just bemused that its managed to become a story published by a mainstream media outlet.

“Men have a chat on plane”.

You just have to have a quiet chuckle at the absurdity of it all.

She achieved her objective-more media exposure,no matter how stupid. I’m sorry I clicked on it.

That's the Daily Mail for you. Take a story that wasn't harming anyone at all and make it "a thing."

 

[Jack Lord]

Remember tonight on Channel 7 after The Front Bar...Unfiltered with Longmire and then Part 1 of the documentary Shaking Down the Thunder.

So glad I found out about this documentary. I had no idea it was happening. It’s excellent.

Also very odd to see Ross Lyon on the Swans coaching staff.

This and other bits of media , even Bigfooty threads remind me of that Ricky Gervais joke . Won't try to repeat it but the gist being guitar lesson sign up on a notice board and people going to look and saying I don't want ****en guitar lessons.

It's not for you, you don't have to watch, who cares.

Honestly I love Errol Gulden but i don't want to watch 22 mins about his injury comeback, it's not for me so just you know don't watch it.

I thought the plane thing was funny but whatever don't watch it

What is it ? online crap ?

 

[TasSixer]

Just finished the 2005 flag doco, it was so good, almost brought a tear to my eye.

Sorry mate. I mistook your original post as being opening statement as lead counsel for the defence. Hope you understand how, "The seatbelt sign was illuminated" might be interpreted that way.

Geez some of the old locals get a bit carried away when questions are raised about the integrity of the club hey? They just refuse to accept the club sometimes f*cks up.

I figure they'll come to grips with it now that you've adjusted your point of view, that the club recognised the behaviours of our representatives as less-than-desirable and have apologised to the young lady.

Probably should have been communicated early on I reckon.

The 05 doco reminded me ROK trimming his hair changed the season

Yes and it always seems to be criticism of females. Whether it's a commentator or a comedian by one particular poster...even of our aflw team. They seriously need to get over it
I absolutely agree with your post and the post you responded to is so clouded in pre judgement.

Already watched it all, really loved it. 2005 was such a special year; first time I ever followed the swans. Still remember the players that came to my local primary school and I got to meet Michael O'loughlin and Paul Bevan.

Yeah. Thought there was enough cultural bigotry in it not to bother addressing the misogyny angle... trying to avoid one of those ugly brain explosion incidents.
