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 thought exactly the same thing haha, we haven't moved for at least a month

We have been 6th on the ladder since round 8, May 8. So two and a half months.

Are Sydney headed for the top four? (19/7/21)

"They work as hard if not harder than any team for each other... and they're taking creative, attacking actions we haven't seen Sydney sides take in the past."

"Wins over West Coast, Western Bulldogs and Greater Western Sydney in the past three weeks has catapulted the Swans to sixth place and just one win outside the coveted double chance."

Catapaulted into 6th place from .... 6th place.

Another clear case of AFL bias ..... there’s no way a Vic club would win 3 straight games and not move up the ladder ....

 

[Jewelsbon]

Not sure I like us being the flavour of the month. The way it stands at the moment, we will go into our remaining home and away games as favourites and I've always thought we played better as the underdogs.
Having said that, the way we are currently playing is so far removed from how I ever remember us playing before that hopefully, our mental attitude has changed also.

There's a vision of the boys pre match where Longmire was hyping the boys up. Loved how pumped amd galvanised the group is. Feel something special is brewing this year.

These articles are going to increase as Buddy gets closer

When will Lance Franklin kick his 1,000th AFL goal?

Just five players in VFL/AFL history have reached the 1,000 goal mark and Sydney superstar Lance Franklin, who currently sits on 986 majors, is closing in on the illustrious group. The question is; when will he get there?

Good insight into the Swans defensive set-up...

Got a lot of time for Nick reiwoldt, really knows the game and is very analytical.

This is the type of stuff I love watching, insights that the average observer wouldn't pick up. Just shows how organised and sophisticated our structures are.

 

[swanssince2002]

Basically the love from the media with our play in the last 3 games is back...

Gonna be the hunted from here on out you would think...

yes, i think he's the best of any ex-footballer in recent times to make the move to media ... i rate matthew lloyd too, but riewoldt has a good sense of humour, and geez he had garry lyon ready to sook on the couch last night, lyon can't cop any hint of criticism or a suggestion he got something wrong ...

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Only thing i worry about is that in finals its not free flowing and our CP and ground ball gets are average at best.

But who knows!

COVID quarantine won't derail season for Swans quartet

Sydney is confident its four isolating players, including star Callum Mills, will be ready to play immediately after they are able to rejoin the team

Loved that clip...

Something I take away from that, and have always thought about when reading negative comments on the board over the years.

From an observers point of view, a team can sometimes look flat in a game, or look like they're not focusing on a particular area of the game that they should be (contested ball for example). But teams absolutely go into a game with a plan, and sometimes the opposition just don't allow them to execute it as they'd planned (among other potential factors).

The GWS game is a prime example, horse had the guys pumped, he delivered a message about team unity when faced with adversity. He did all the right things, and the team responded as they should have. But when the siren went and GWS applied massive amounts of pressure, all of those plans, and the hype took a big hit.

Credit to the team, they stuck at it and were able to turn it around. But the point I'm making is, we can sometimes watch and think why aren't they doing this, or why aren't they doing that, as if to say the players wouldn't have thought of it themselves, but the players would absolutely have a game plan, and the intent to win, but sometimes everything you try just falls to pieces, regardless of what mindset you came into the game with.

I just feel as though supporters need to be a little more conscious that sometimes it's not lack of heart or intent, sometimes things just don't work for you.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Running the ladder predictor reasonably objectively, not factoring in any stunning upsets, I can't see us finishing higher than 5th, the Lions dropping down to 6th.
If that pans out, we stand a good chance of winning our elim and probably playing Port in the semi. That's a game we can win and head into a prelim.
Be nice if that first one is at the SCG.

My club had a lunch with Matthew Lloyd and he was fantastic . Was asked about his relationship with the King twins after coaching them at school , he said they have both told him that they struggle with Dane Rampe as he will do anything to put them off . We were lucky to get it in the week before the Lockdown hit.

Rommel or Patton said no plan survives contact with the enemy. Mike Tyson put this as "No plan survives a punch in the head"
