Announcement: Swans YouTube Channel
So thanks to the awesome Kennedy Parker you will notice a sticky post at the top of the pages now. This link will take you directly to the Swans YouTube channel which features interviews etc.
 
I find Brereton find when he's analysing a play, but when he talks anything remotely to do with suspensions/reports he becomes mindless.

Completely agree there. His analysis of tactics is usually really good, but he is also stuck in the 80's when it comes to things you could do on the field 30 years ago that you are not allowed to do anymore. He is always in favour of letting the player off no matter what they did, and bemoans the game for not allowing players to do the things they used to do.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but when introducing new people to Aussie Rules', his explanations of what is going in really do help.

23MAR21: Club Power Rankings Lazybits/Fox Sports
Great to hear Greg Williams this morning on SEN with Lyon and Watson , really great listen. Follows the 3 teams he played for . I hope someone can get it up
He's a Carlton man Bedders.
We made him a legend so I guess he "follows" us but a blue through & through which is fair enough as he is a Carlton p'ship player.
 
I like Dermie as well really good bloke to have a beer with , like Warney. King i will never forgive what he did in the 96 GF , absolute dog act

Comparing someone to Warney is an insult, not a compliment.

Anyway, hope everyone is ready for the Academy backlash. Eddie will start pushing it in the media, especially if Campbell has a good game soon.

I mean, the academies are working. Not sure what the issue will be? It's not like we only won because of the academy players. Florent, Rowbottom & McCartin were immense. The difference is we cannot offer mature players like Jones contracts to come home and help us lift......
 
I will never understand this power ranking thing, surely us and Adelaide should be the first two teams.
Their criteria "This is our attempt to rank every AFL club from best to worst right now. We take wins and losses into account, but also the quality of opposition faced and whether teams are likely to get healthier or improve going forward. If a team is above another, we’d probably tip them to beat them at a neutral venue."
Surely on those two basics alone, the Crows and the Swans are the best teams so far this season.

He's back baby!!
I think it is too early to bring him back. After playing only 50% of a game in 12 months. That could spell disaster. He did not even score a goal and the intensity at that level is not the same. He will be under intense pressure this week.

I would prefer he got a full game under his belt before coming back. But they will do what they will do. I just hope he does not become the main focus of our forward movement or the Crows will slaughter us. We need to maintain the type of play we used in the first game. If we do that we win.

Many times Joey was ignored in favour of better options. Lance needs to suffer the same fate. If there is a better option our young blokes must take it. Not just young blokes. But that may be difficult for players who have been constantly told over the years 'kick it to Lance'

Oh, I'm not saying it's justified. I'm just saying it's coming. Wait for Collingwood to have a particularly bad week or something and Eddie will put it on the agenda. Then there will be a whole week's worth of the news cycle about it. Gil will announce they are looking into it to quiet it down. If we end up missing the finals, it'll just fade into the background. If we make the finals, or even by some crazy chance top 4, they'll change the rules on it again.

Never been more certain of anything.

God help us if, when he's back commentating, he gets a Swans game.
eg
"A goal to Gulden. And that's another to the academy. Academy 3 goals so far"
"Gee these Swans academy players are good, shame other clubs didn't have the chance to draft them"
"Swans academy players looking good, mind you they'd want to be considering the amount of money the AFL pours into them"

The academies are working when the academy clubs can't bid on them all because there are so many talented kids coming into the draft from every academy.

Imagine a draft where half of the first round are all kids from the NE Acedemies. That'd be fantastic

So as long as we stay in the bottom 4 its cool? again another ridiculous round 1 reaction we could just as easily lose our next 3-4.
 
The backlash of the Academy has started just as everyone predicted


I loved Errol's comments. We have kids playing for us who are growing up as Swans before they’re even teenagers. The triggered can pleased themselves, I don’t care.

Supporters of big Victorian teams especially can piss off. They scoop up any talent they can the second their first contract is up and don’t mind that non Victorian teams (NSW and QLD) can’t take advantage of that go home factor year after year.
