Media Swans Talk in the Media 2024

[Callipygian]

I don't think they have fairly told the story with Dyl.* But getting Grundy for two 2nd rounders was good business albeit he is nearer the end than the beginning of his career.




* You could equally say we gave up Dyl and pick 25 to move the pick forward a few spots but back into 2024 and only got pick 44 in return.

After not being mentioned at all on the Sunday Footy Show, I wasn't expecting a hell of a lot from SEN's Mean Test. I wasn't disappointed (should I say surprised). Kingy and the greatest Swans hater of all in Gerald Whately went through the entire show without a mention to us until they came to the seedings where there both had us as number one. At the very end, Kingy then says "I should have spoken a little more about the Swans". A little more?? Just saying the word Sydney would have been more than what you originally gave us.
As an ex South Melbourne supporter, I am disgusted as to how we are reviewed (should say, not reviewed) by the Victorian media.
No doubt the same will apply tonight on 360 and on the couch. Everyone's now in love with that s**t of a team called Essendon. We all know that they will still go another year without winning a final.

Lloyd mentioned us.

 

[Callipygian]

Talk about the Swans-Freo match starts about 11 minutes in, continues until about the 24 minute mark. They first talk about the impact of Cam McCarthy's passing but go on to wax lyrical about how strong we are.

 

[HD Sports]

To be fair to Whatley. He didn't mention us in the Snap Judgement. That we are the 1 seed and we should be everyone's 1 seed. Or words to that effect.

 

[Bandicoot]

Lloyd mentioned us.

Sorry I was wrong in saying we were not mentioned at all. We were mentioned at the start of the show (by Lloyd as you said) but of the 7 games that had been played, our game was not reviewed at all. All the others were.

There is no such thing as being fair to Whately as far as the Swans go. He hates the Swans and has never been afraid to show that. Maybe this is why Longmire will have nothing to do with him or any of the shows that he hosts in the media.

i think they managed about 10 seconds of "the swans were good" after spending several minutes all but saying fremantle were disengaged ... surprised they didn't suggest sydney give the points back

Thanks for that Callipygian I was just about to looking for this weeks podcast from him. Always a good show and I knew we'd get some good coverage.

Speaking of coverage in media as per some comments above: I think Fox & Co not sending commentators to the grounds anymore bar for some games has impacted not only the calls, but the reporting afterwards. They lack insight into the teams themselves and there's so much that happens off the ball you can only see at the ground. They lack a 'feel' for how the teams are actually going and rely too much of stats.

If I was a Bombers fan (thank f*k I’m not!), I wouldn’t be cancelling any Sept plans… they are only 2pts from being in 8th position… still reckon they’ll miss the 8.

If I was a Bombers fan (thank f*king god I’m not!), I wouldn’t be cancelling any Sept plans… they are only 2pts from being in 8th position… still reckon they’ll miss the 8.

Exactly. Check who they've played so far and their percentage and I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

The commentary on Fox tonight was "they've now beaten a top eight team......."
haha.. they've beaten ONE top eight side.. got to be flag favourites now

I'll never forget how forlorn he looked when swans beat Collingwood in the prelim.

Is there a story behind his hatred for us?

John Longmire interview SEN

To be fair to Whatley. He didn't mention us in the Snap Judgement. That we are the 1 seed and we should be everyone's 1 seed. Or words to that effect.

The point is not so much that they don’t rate us. It is that they don’t discuss us.

I am sure the fact we are a very professional club with very little scandal makes it hard for them.

My god man.
Don’t give them ideas.

Little chance of that.
The group of Don supporters sitting near me in the Sydney game were screaming in unabashed ecstasy in the first, before slinking away into the darkness early in the 4th quarter.

 

[Crust]

I'm not surprised or discouraged by the lack of reporting. The footy media is in Victoria and this was a game between Sydney and Freo. For that reason alone there would be little coverage.
Sydney was expected to win and Freo copped a horrible emotional body blow on the morning of the match. There is no story that Sydney won. If Freo had won, then that is a big story - did it for Cam etc.
As it is I think Freo are to be admired for the way they went about it.

Understandably there were flat senior Giants players but the Vic media can't see beyond Essendon.

It's the media landscape we live in and I don't see any reason to get upset about it. I don't need affirmation from David King and the like.

Is Ollie Wines back? Will the Swans get revenge on the Blues?

Is Ollie Wines back? Can the Bombers get their percentage up to scratch? Will Sydney exact revenge for last year's elimination final loss? We've looked at the big question your AFL club must answer in Round 10.
