News Swans Talk in the Media: 2021

[Ticky009]

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.

 

[wilsonmatic]

We have won 2 games and it is a 'dramatic' revolution? We've played a lot better than I expected, but the footy media is embarrassing.

'Wave run!! ' Another moronic term from the mind of D.King.

Young Swan’s left-field kicking lessons key to fast career start

Braeden Campbell had a novel approach to kick-for-kick in the park with his father – and it explains why his kicking has tongues wagging.

www.smh.com.au

Sounds like he has a very patient father

 

[sataris]

I actually enjoyed the music after goals - particularly as they didn't disappoint after Guldens goal, however it drove my husband nuts!

Perhaps that's why I enjoyed it so much

I've definitely never enjoyed anything that annoys Mrs.Sataris

never.

It really sucks the amount of experts in the media who have uncovered the SECRETS to our recent form. In the last few days alone, David King, Ross Lyon, Damian Barrett, Kane Cornes

, Rohan Connolly and CHAMPION DATA no less have all uncovered various secrets to why we're doing so well.

So I guess our secrets are out! Everyone will be onto us now. I think there's a really good chance we might not win another game for the rest of the year. It was fun while it lasted I guess.

It's one of the reasons I'll never again go to a BBL game. It's like they're saying that game itself is not good enough to get the crowd involved, so we'll come up with all this fake noise nothing crap!

Having said that, I quite liked the encouragement to chant Sydney... (I miss the Sydney chant... ) and as you know, I love the Sweet Caroline sing along...

And I'll give up Sweet Caroline, when you all (the swans fans) come up with a modern ballad that those from 8 to 80 can sing along too! There's plenty of them out there, so find one, get the Swans to put the words on the screen, and get the crowd to sing along.

Footy Classified last night..

Mention of GWS asking the AFL for a COAL style top up , as an ability to retain players.

Eddie was straight off against COLA, claiming it wasn't there for players to employ 4 maids. Matthew Lloyd chimed in with the non-no of signing Buddy, due to COLA.

Eddie , then used the example of Sydney and its young recruits as a reason that COLA is not needed... just recruit young players.

Moving on from COLA... A lot of talk of Don Pyke and how much he has already brought to Sydney

We don't need COLA if we have academies. They're both there to serve the same purpose. Glad to hear Eddie has come around

Great, Eddie, we'll keep our Academy then.

Hawthorn must have been aware how good a kick he was

I remember being frequently hounded for suggesting a bid for Campbell could come in the top five in the lead up to the draft last year. The idea of the best kick in the draft pool going in the top 5 seemed inconceivable to many people. You can't put a price on foot skills.

 

[caesar88]

The comparisons to the Port draftees of 2018 continue... FWIW I think it's a silly comparison. Rozee, Butters and Duursma have played a combined 113 games. McDonald, Campbell and Gulden have played 6, but have at it!

Are the Swans' kids the new 2018 Port?

Huge call incoming but the 2018 Draft is the best since 2001, already. There are young stars across the competition, from Sam Walsh at…

TBH comparisons of value, as opposed to specific skills, are a waste of time. These are all good kids, working their roles in good systems. So what if one is 2% better than another?

It's like on here when people try to compare Papley and Gulden

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

TBH comparisons of value, as opposed to specific skills, are a waste of time. These are all good kids, working their roles in good systems. So what if one is 2% better than another?

Port senior core is also performing significantly better than ours that makes a colossal difference to young players.

History of our Rising Stars

If Errol Gulden and Braeden Campbell wanted to talk Rising Star nominations in the Swans locker room this week they’d find plenty of players to trade stories with.

Talking about coaching influences in the Swans. I do wonder how Don Pyke feels living in a place where he can be practically anonymous and just get down & do his job.

I do wonder how Don Pyke feels living in a place where he can be practically anonymous and just get down & do his job.

He was quoted briefly about it recently.
I reckon the Adelaide fishbowl would be the hardest off-field environment in the AFL.

Pyke's COVID break: Why John called Don for coach gig

His appointment didn't attract much fanfare, but Don Pyke is helping transform Sydney

www.afl.com.au

(Pyke) is enjoying "quite refreshing" relative anonymity in Sydney as Longmire's right-hand man.
"It's just a very different environment," Pyke said.
"You see the players are able to come in, do their work then go out and just live their life."

Longmire reveals plans for Callum Mills in 2021

“We always knew he’d be a good midfielder."

interview with Horse about the richmond game

That was good. I knew they'd ask the stupid question about the game last year but it's irrelevant this season and it was played in a swamp.

Longmire deserves a lot of credit so far. Not only for chasing Pyke so early but also for daring to change our style so dramatically even before we were really ready to execute it. I’m sure he knew we’d cop losses and finish bottom 4-6 but he was prepared to stick with it until the group was ready.

It’s working beautifully and even if we don’t get 20 goals against Richmond I’d be happy with 14 goals if it’s still a close contest and we’re giving ourselves a chance.
