Swans media in the Telegraph and our midfield , has a poll with this one against a few others in GF years

Do they include Rowbottom bedders? Need to know if it's worth reading or not.

 

[Ticky009]

Do they include Rowbottom bedders? Need to know if it's worth reading or not.

Nope - all about the fab 3

Random thought but I don't recall us ever having a Hamish on our list. Davis - yes, who could forget!

There is a very good Hamish in the Swans VFL team.

Yes

Not with the poll Ticks

They have 5 from every era in the poll

 

[caesar88]

They have 5 from every era in the poll

I'll just read the poll then

 

[Dubai Quacker]

There is a very good Hamish in the Swans VFL team.

I can imagine it now:

Its 2028. The Prelim Final. Against Tasmania.

26:40 into Q4. Swans down by 4 points. Stoppage deep inside our forward 50.

"HAMISH DAVIS! HAMISH DAVIS! I SEE IT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!"

He looks different, can't quite put my finger on it...........

AFL Draft: Your club's biggest need in the deepest draft pool ever

What list holes does your club need to fill at the 2024 AFL Draft? When is it? Which picks does your club have? Jasper Chellappah takes a look at the state of play ahead of one of the deepest draft crops in recent memory.

www.espn.com.au

The mere mention of Hamish Davis alongside the Swans ....

Actually not a bad call on people we could/should be interested in. Whitlocks, Gerreyn, Davis and Kako. Wouldn't turn up my nose at any of them. Imagine Bombers would match on Kako.

Bit harsh to say anything but a flag is a pass. We don't even have a Fox-approved premiership profile!

Nah, that’s it…. Where’s the problem

 

[The Mares Leg]

Nah, that’s it…. Where’s the problem

Probably do a better job in the ruck.

 

[Pugnacious1874]

Is it just me or does this suggest it is possible for every team to get a pass?

I'd be happy with that.

 

[Big Blood]

I'd be happy with that.

Not unless we have a four-team GF which for all we know is already on Dill's whiteboard.

But flag is a fair enough target for us. We've been faffing around for years without winning the big one and with two home finals no excuse.


Not that I won't have plenty of excuses if we do somehow contrive not to win it.

Sammy Edmund has the latest.

Rob Innes off to the Blues at the end of the season. Didn't see this posted anywhere, and actually heard from a family member.

That's a big loss

Adam Goodes on The Assembly, a program in which a group of autistic journalist students interview famous Australians. Adam is beautiful with the kids. Very uplifting to watch. Catch it on iView.

It certainly is. I thought I saw a headline as recently as yesterday that suggested they (Carlton) were about to poach Darren "I aim to work at every professional football team in the world" Burgess.

Nice discussion about our goal kicking.

A Bag of Snags - The 2024 AFL Scoring Wrap-Up - The Mongrel Punt

Better? Worse? Same? Jarred Ophorst takes a look at the firepower at your club and how they performed in the 2024 AFL season

themongrelpunt.com

Sorry KC but I didn't really find it helpful, nor particularly insightful. Their mob usually provide better meat. The analysis seemed to be "if we kick 25 fewer goals we won't win as many games!" The author talks about his own knowledge without revealing what that knowledge is. It's a social media dislike of mine, "based on what I know". Of course there's no space to write what that knowledge is, what it's based upon or how anyone arrived at such knowledge.

At this time of year journos are furiously stacking new content onto back pages, flapping out pages of promises based purely on opinions. I miss the days of data, analysis and facts.

More analysis of the roles of our big three, the use of mids/forwards, who is likely to progress their scoring, who is likely to scorse less. What factors led to Amartey being our highest scorer? At the beginning of the season there were many doubting he was worth persisting with. I argued my reasons why I thought he would do well, including statistical reasons, like the fact that he had so little experience. He was a very junior forward (if not in age terms).

The writer might have talked about his potential future progress, such as the multiple drops and small mistakes that should be further remedied with practice and games. He may have discussed the other roles McLean has taken on which have added other value, the reasons McDonald was not our biggest goal kicker and/or how that may change in the future.

OK, it's a rat-bait article on the one-size-fits-all frame designed to reach all 18 clubs' fans with a single sheet, but most fans could write a more insightful piece on their own club's forwards, with a lot more to back up their opinions.

What could anyone expect from The Daily Telegraph?
