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.

 

[bedford]

It's not Swans in media , but todays Murdoch rag has 12 pages on Buckley and about the same on Harvey Norman !

 

[bedford]

Can we get back to Swans in the Media , this is going nowhere as we all love Adam.

A fresh start at a new AFL club has these players making an impact

Great article.

I'm willing to concede that we didn't use Aliir in the right way to make the most of his abilities but if we agree that his move helped us get Hickey and the new draftees then so be it. We'll call it a win/win. Hickey has had an incredible impact on the team and I'd do the trade ten times over.

Also best at making the opposition take shots from difficult positions.

That is important for people to understand.

Much of our success from previous years and improvement this year doesn’t come from when you have the ball. It’s what you do when you don’t have the ball that matters.

No one is scared of a bloke prancing around with a bloody manbun. I say that only in a footy sense.

As well, if you’re worried about your bloody hair you’re not worrying about putting your head over the bloody ball.

I can’t count the number of players who have found their footy mojo when they’ve turned up to preseason with a sensible haircut.

Lol! Heard of a bloke called Fyfe? I've heard he goes alright...

Would you prefer that we go back to talking about Champion Data prediction models instead?

Very clever Master Yoda of the mods . Actually do mods have HOF ?

But no one fears him. Look there’s always an exception that proves the rule. Sure, Nat Fyfe goes ok. He gets away with it because he’s so good. But one of the best tall backs going around a couple of years ago was Hurley. And big forwards just looked at him and laughed. “What are you going to do to me? You look like a ****ing court jester with that thing on the top of your head”.

You and me have had this conversation before and it's unlikely to resolved... but, I still think your seeing it from a POV 30 years out of date.

Most young people today see their peers changing their hair like they change their shirt, and they don't see it as a reflection of their competitiveness or ability. Consider Nic Nat, or Hickey...

I remember when Naismith first started he had a bun and i had a bit of un on social media . I said Bloods culture doesn't have buns , he had a laugh and it was gone . It's not our way.

Get the feeling this might have been suspected at the time of the mid-season draft

Sad news... must surely mean career over

so are we playing the Kennedy/Franklin/Mitchell cup tomorrow?

 

[Ticky009]

SEN Sydney run a weekly interview with Tom Harley. I for one am really glad SEN NSW have started doing this, we need our voice to be heard in the local media.

SEN Sydney run a weekly interview with Tom Harley

First question to Tom;
"Did you catch Origin?"

OK I get it's a big thing and NSW had a thumping win, but it is somewhat symbolic of the attitude towards the AFL in the NSW media.

The interview (all 5 minutes of it) had a real feel of we have to get this out the way and then we'll get back to the important business of RL/SOO.

I know right? Here's a hint, don't waste our time talking about NRL in a AFL interview. Sheesh.

Spranger cup

Hawks match is one I mark in the calendar. Been that way for the last 10 years

Sad news... must surely mean career over

Only for the fact he is contracted to end 2022. He will get his knee rebuilt, go through rehab and then retire at end of 2022 year having not played another game. He owes nothing to Swans apart from his contract and same swans in return. I can't see him stepping away. Either way as you say its promise unfulfilled and sad just as it was for AJ. Sport can be cruel

But we know that AJ was already a star and probably would have been a co captain now

Tatts.... bloody hell, you'd be more rebellious not to have them than actually have them. Starting to signal wannabe toughness nowadays. Sorry, personal bug bear....
