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.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Line ball for me but it's midfielders and KPP's that can demand the big bucks so using that and age as the metric, Cerra is the more valuable.

Nope.

Dawson will prove an effective mid at Centre Bounces. He was dominant in that role in the 2s during the period when Horse preferred to play Rohan and others.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Someone should tell Lloyd he wasn't a game changer because he couldn't play inside mid either

Lloyd was a game changer.

His staging (read: falling over) to win free kicks changed many a game.

 

[Millky95]

Swans doing another cryptic tweet? Did anyone do a really notable smother this season?

Hahaha nah. Former Swans Academy member

Cheers. Wonder how often smothers would even happen over there?

 

[Kiama Chris]

Cheers. Wonder how often smothers would even happen over there?

Quite often. Watching his teammates I think they half expected him to take off down field like he did a couple of seasons ago. They love him.
Loved the one handed pick up, jink, twist and kick. Must have learnt something.
Made the Pro Bowl.
Good on him.
About A$5mn p.a.?
Highest paid Swan!

Google Michael Dixon Fake Punt.
The coach went apeshit, in a good way. He was supposed to take a knee, not a first down! Sorry I'm crap at links.

Sensational player nearly 1000 goals, we have had plenty of stagers , got 1 now

By far the best and highest paid player to ever come out of the Swans academy.

Mills + Heeney + others combined.

Waiting for the NFL outcry that swans produce fantastic punter. NFL to ban all players taken from Swans from kicking the football going forward

Well the commentators accused him of breaking the rules when he didn't so that checks out

How would you be if the NFL threw our academy some funding to develop future punters.

 

[Membling]

Considering the money involved with NFL, stoked.

Would love our footy department to come up with a partnership. Could have the occassional poaching but would definitely worth it

was on the 3rd episode of "The School that Tried to End Racism" yesterday where he taught a lesson to the kids about racial bias in the media. Seems like a great guy.

Max Gawn robbed.

 

[bedford]

Max Gawn robbed.

Where is he ? Old mate Robbo was sadly nearly brown bread , but his replacement Ralph , god help us

I don't know where he was, it was behind a paywall. But he wasn't number 1 so he was robbed

Max Gawn 5th, Toby Greene 4th.

 

[scaryness]

These lists are rubbish. Very few were saying Petracca was the best player in the league before the GF.

Yes he had the best grand final of all time, but there's surely more to it than just ranking the players based on the last game they played.

Also Dustin Martin has one relavitvely down year and he falls from being the greatest of all time to not even a top 5 player lol

It's all recency bias. Trust me, after the draft Horne will be in the top 5...

Then it'll be a completely list after round 1

Lists are based on the previous season from what I understand.

And Petracca would easily be in the top 3 players in the league, even before his finals performances.

To be fair the list was complied by Robbo who has had serious health concerns. The grand final is probably the only game he can remember this year.
