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.

I feel this article is more than a little disingenuous. COVID put a mockery on all our home ground attendances last year, feels a bit like never get the truth in way of great story.

Sydney jumping back on Swans bandwagon

Sydney loves nothing more than a winner, and for the first time in years, there's a real buzz around the Swans. But let's be honest, the man they still come to see is Buddy, writes Stuart Randall.

www.espn.com.au

Very much written for his Victorian readers. They love a good Sydney bash. Both the city and the team. And they are his biggest potential market. So it's pretty much click bait.
I'll stick as much as possible to serious journalists who at least attempt to play it straight.
If anyone hasn't read it, the match report on THEMONGRELPUNT.com is very good. Far more worth your time, even your $, than this shite.

 

[Ticky009]

What's so very disappointing about the entire EPSN article is that its written by a Sydney journalist. How can a journalist based in Sydney fail to so utterly understand AFL in Sydney? Or the fact Swans fans have a rusted on base now. Instead it feeds into every misinterpretation and falsehood already paraded about by the Vic media.

Poor journalism Stuart Randall, worse yet, lazy. How bitterly disappointing for NSW AFL fans when a so called NSW journalist provides not even balanced reporting. No wonder AFL will always be an under dog in NSW media, even our own are shit against us.

That article is a heap of shit

 

[BloodySwan]

You're too kind Ticky009

'Journo' is a w***er.



EDIT; Been stewing on this for close to the last hour.
So I'll just add I'm a Melbourne based supporter and this whole Sydney fanbase is fickle and will drop off if we have a downturn narrative gives me the shits.
We have an established and passionate Sydney based membership that is as rusted on as any we have.
Bloody annoying lazy ill-informed 'journalism'.

Sydney home attendance. Doesn't seem to matter where we place

Florent doesn't need evidence of his improved kicking, it's obvious to anyone watching. I feel like good players don't need stats to be validated but stats end up validating poor players.

But I realise I'm being a grouch and shouldn't have dismissed what was a valid contribution with your original post. So my bad there mate.

Ok... with posting like this we don't need mods around here anymore.

Kennedy Parker swansfan51 scaryness time to get Pensions sorted!!

KICK INSIDE 50 MARK PERCENTAGE*
41.7% Ollie Florent (Sydney)

Amazing turn around. Credit to Ollie.

Not sure he was ever as bad as this board was saying.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Not sure he was ever as bad as this board was saying.

Playing more of an outside role has helped him this year. He has found more time time and composure and his evasion skills have really helped.

ESPN is owned by Disney.

Think this particular journo would be better deployed manning the turnstiles at one of their theme parks.

A former board member told me Jon Pierik was told to but down the Swans at every chance.

As a former disney employee, I agree

Added Mongrel Punt article to Match Reports Post - you can find that post by going to Threadmarks and look for the post dated 07APR

A bit of chat with O Flo

'I trust him with my life': Is this the man to stop Toby?

The task of stopping Giants gun Toby Greene looms as one of Sydney's biggest challenges this weekend

Horse on sen

 

[SGBeach]

liked what Horse said about Gould.. ended with "no doubt we'll need him"
looking forward to watching him play off half back

 

[swanssince2002]

Maybe Gould is getting some play time in the big league this season after all...

 

[BloodySwan]

I can't remember a second round pick being talked as much as Gould before he debuts

Or wearing a duck costume (Daisy that is)

Not trying to start a blue or anything but I feel it’s important to point these sort of things out.
Why would Daisy Duck be more derogatory than Daffy?
It’s not a big deal and I’m not doubting your treatment of women, but it does suggest the female to be of less value and that is something we should all be trying to right.

Longmire said he is "still learning his craft" felt like listening to his choice of words Gould is a long way away from being AFL ready or did i misjudge his comments?

 

[Bonz]

It's because he slid.

Originally was firmly in top 10 calculations before during up to draft testing overweight after SANFL celebrations.

Id want someone called Daisy on my side way before someone called Daffy.. but, in the Words of Michael Luenig.. "its just a duck"

Warner Bros =! Walt Disney.

 

[sataris]

Donald Duck doesn't wear pants.

Would have him in the team over Bell though.
