News Swans Talk in the Media 2023

[Dubai Quacker]

I tend to agree. I don't understand the concept of waiting a certain amount of time before making someone a Legend. They're not gonna get any more legendary when they're not playing anymore!

I tend to disagree.

The 5 years is effectively a “cooling off” period to ensure decisions aren’t made based on hype and emotion.

Buddy will be a legend. So will Ablett. But I like the current system.

Agree with this. His time will come eventually. No need to rush it.

But they CAN and Should

 

[Callipygian]

You get double the mileage out of announcing two things, and the AFL PR people seem to like that.

With some players a cooling off period is a good idea (I'm thinking players like Hodge, JPK, Joel Selwood). They might be deemed worthy of Legend status or maybe not. But with someone like Buddy (or Ablett) it is patently obvious that they will be Legends and I wouldn't care if they skipped step 1.

Stocks up, stocks down: Long live King Charles; Swans choke at home, again!

In Round 7 of the 2023 AFL season, more than a few key forwards kicked career-best bags -- none bigger than King Charles -- but the Swans choked away a lead at home ... again.

Pfft about time Horse had a go at the Presser, he has a long way to go to match Scott Harwick etc

Should have went harder, was ridiculous, 5 free kick goals and 2x 50m penalties, was an even game unfairly impacted by umpiring.

I still don’t know exactly what buddy needs to do to get a free. Doesn’t get any protection from umpires, different to most forwards these days.

We got 2 gifts

Not disputing that. The balance of the game was shifted with those 2 x 50m penalties.

Longmire should call out the inequitable rub of the green we somehow receive every week.

 

[SM]

Cornes roasting Horse for his mini tanty in the presser - it was good for Horse to show some emotion other than the usual monotony but he was probably feeling the same as the rest of us after the saints game, pissed that two questionable 50s swung the momentum and pace of the game

Rather than being in a position where the Saints had to take risks, we had to instead

Maybe he could answer what was a reasonable question, otherwise it suggests he didn't say much because he didn't have a clue what to change!

 

[Tedeski]

He's starting to go down the Mick Malthouse path in pressers.
Not good.
He should just answer it.

First question I would ask Horse at a presser?

Why are you not sitting down on the interchange area anymore Horse?

The bond shared between mother and daughter Nadene and Kyah McBride was strengthened by their love and commitment to the Singleton Roosters Football Club.

Swans players will wear black armbands in memory of the crash victims when they play the Brisbane Lions this weekend.

How does it mean unaccounted for ?

 

[kickthething]

How does it mean unaccounted for ?

I think it means they haven’t been formally identified??

How bad is this , the poor couple that got married will never really be able to celebrate

That suggests McLean will get another deal if he wants to stay.

The club promoting itself amongst different communities is how a club operates. That's just good business. If you think its all build it and they will come these days then you have no understanding of the Sydney market.

I really don't , but could find better things to promote than that pack of bullies
