Sidebottom needs to consider retirement; cut Ken Hinkley some slack
This week's Six Points features the decline of Steele Sidebottom, the most improved players of the year, why we should praise Ken Hinkley, and the very strange -- and worrying -- Rory Laird trend.
Tommy is unfortunately a easy target teams know any sort of collision/tackle/spoil to the head and we are 1 man down.
Example the player who kneed Gawn in the head in the ruck if that was Tommy he would of been sidelined.

Response to the questions asked:
Response to the questions asked:
- Should Hayward be a priority in the Swans signings
- Swans should be considered genuine premiership contenders
360 summary tonight:
Montagna reckons Freo will win.
If Bombers win against Giants it will be a statement to comp. Wait a minute …!? > insert vomit <

Hang on you mean respect his opinion as the honestly-felt and reasoned perspective of a commentator and ex-player with more than 20 years of experience and not blacklist his podcast and denounce his family and send him a dozen angry DMs? Interesting new approach.

Montagna ihas no credibility. What he says is............yep I don't remember him saying anything meaningful either.
He is irrelevant as a commentator.
Has no credibility.
No insights into the game.
Looks confounded on camera.
I look at Kingy and he has this look of "what the..........." when Mantagna is babbling.
Speaks so people think he is not as irrelevant as he thinks he is.
Didn’t say it was wrong. it was a summary.
I took one for the team so they don’t have to watch it in case they were expecting any pro-Swans media coverage after last weeks awesome result.
Guys Montagna just loves Freo and will take every opportunity to pump them up because he was on our payroll for a bit (oppo analyst or something). Just so happens that the last two weeks gave him the perfect opportunity.
We're complete dogshit in the rain and it'll be pouring. I don't think he's taken that into account.

Playing in the wet has traditionally been the swans weakness too. But I've noticed with our current team we seem to play okay in the wet.

we've had about 3 days of rain since September and of course it's gonna rain on the one day I go to a game, good luck mate should be a cracking match regardless of conditions.

Wow! You guys get really toey when someone tips the opposition...
Montagna tipped Freo as his outsider for the week... and if we are not spot on with our pressure, I can see them getting up! They are playing well, really starting to get it together and impose their game on the opposition. They are a young team that are starting to show glimpses of how good they will be in the future, and while I don't think they'll win the flag this year, they are definitely (in my view) going to shape the 8 and impact the finals. They are going to be good over the next few years I think...
Given Montagna has no hope with his beloved Saints, why shouldn't he tip Freo in an upset? Someone will beat us in an upset this year... that's just life in footy.

Good post Kirkswan although I’ll point out someone already has beaten us in an upset (and hope it doesn’t happen again too often
).

montagna has been dismissing the swans since preseason
Its because despite what people generally think, wet weather hurts teams with poor disposal more than those with good disposal and we are now a team with good disposal.
ie rather than bringing teams with good disposal back to the pack, it makes them stand out even more, and historically we were great contested but our disposal efficiency wasn't wonderful.

Sunk-cost fallacy probably. Sticking to his guns to avoid looking like an imbecile.
