for those that diss david king
on first crack they showed that sydney lost 4 close ones and questioned whether we can win close games
dismissed it straight away and was some awkwardness when he called the others out about it

I don't think he made a particularly compelling argument in fairness.
"If they'd won they wouldn't have lost" yeah but we didn't win. I thought Huddo was pretty reasonable in that discussion.
I think you can make excuses for the losses but until we win a close one they're just excuses.
Is the Dogs game the closest win we've had?
The King!
Chosen One
looking forward to falling out of Gerard's power rankings

I'd argue there's a case for Lions being number 1.

Why worry about what poindexter thinks
The King!
Chosen One
I'm not worried , doesn't mean we can't chat about it? I don't care where we rank, ladder is what matters and the last day of the year, that will determine where we rank.
The King!
Chosen One
If I took my Swans glasses off which is difficult to do.
I think Lions form line says 1.
I think our close losses save us perhaps and keep us 2, lose next week and that changes. But losing 3 in 4 is poor.
Carlton I would put lower because of the 2 losses and barely beating North.
I might go Freo 3 and Carlton 4.
Gws and Dogs coming.
But they won't pay us to do it I guess.
That's it . Too many on here and X worry about commentators . I fronted Mcevaney before the 98 Elim final against the Hawks at the SCG, i said why are you always pumping the Oppo m, he tapped me on the shoulder and said he loves the swans , but just tries to make it more exciting . I actually think Wolfgang was there as well
The King!
Chosen One
Too many worry? but you confronted Mcaveney and tweet at other journos having a crack and spend a lot of time in the media thread?
26 years ago sport and yes i tweet at rat journo's that lag players like Heeney in
The King!
Chosen One
Yeah so that's I am saying you do care , more than anyone else . Which is fine but we can chat too
Never said anyone can't just some and mainly on X are obsessed . We have had some great publicity this season , even Slobbo this morning
Got to love the media this morning, "Swans Worry" "Swans back to the pack"
Brisbane beat a depleted Swans by under a goal on their home deck
Carlton struggled against a brave North Melbourne.
Fremantle didn't play much and at home
A special shoutout to
Pies and Bombers for giving us some Lolz
Yet we are the ones getting pasted in the media (Melbourne Mafia)

Have not heard 1 person paste us as you said . Ive read the paper listened to SEN all morning and everyone has said we were brave with the injuries !

I don't think it's unreasonable after three losses in four. There are mitigating factors, and I agree it shows just how close we still came to beating the Lions, but if McInerney and Papley plus potentially Mills are out for an extended period then it's a concern.
It's why for weeks I've been saying that being the side with the least players used wasn't necessarily a good thing, but it's a big relief that it looks like someone like Corey is able to step up.
The King!

Yep Media banging on yesterday was a grand final preview.
If Sydney don't have Papley Jmac Mills Rowbottom Rampe Hayward this week then media would be silly not to have a few doubts.
Funny enough he had us 1 lol

I'm fine with us copping it, it's a bit deserved IMO, but Brisbane shouldn't be getting much love for yesterday's win.

1. SO CLOSE, AND SO FAR
Sydney has lost four games this season, by five points (Richmond), by one point (Fremantle), by two points (St Kilda) and by two points (Brisbane). That’s not the concern. Always in the run home to finals, the health of the list is paramount. Tom Papley was flying before his ankle injury on Sunday and his loss is huge. Because the Swans are not a prominent mark-and-goal forward line and rely heavily on midfield and small forward goals, Papley’s absence will be felt. At the other end, Dane Rampe has the old man injury – calf soreness – and equally his absence will hurt the Swans. Still the Swans were mighty in defeat. With Papley and Rampe off the ground, and Will Hayward carrying an ankle injury the Swans almost secured a remarkable victory. Just two goals between Amartey and McDonald highlights an area of concern, though. There’s a question or questions on every team and for Sydney the question is: Can these two be relied upon in September? Time will tell.
