How a 112-point loss saved the Swans’ season

Port Adelaide have won their last eight games against Sydney – but coach John Longmire is more concerned with the present than the past.

Mentioned how all the teams have fared in Graph form from round 0 to 24.

Look i know flags are hard to win and all but you gotta leave everything out there if we cant manage to do it this season i dont know if we will ever be in such a position again.

One month ago, Sydney Swans coach John Longmire sat in the post-match press conference at Adelaide Oval struggling to articulate what had happened after a 112-point defeat to Port Adelaide.

Longmire had never experienced a defeat like it in his coaching career. But instead of immediately telling his players exactly what had gone so disastrously wrong, he decided to listen to them and gave them two days off.



Not sure my boss would be so considerate if I'd just created the biggest cockup of his career, but it worked for the Swans

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) on the ABC at 8:30pm, Adam Goodes will be appearing on a show called The Assembly. It is about a group of autistic journalism students who are mentored by Leigh Sales and they interview various Australians.

Still awaiting the royalty cheque from the Swans for putting Heeney's noggin on my torso (which is now appearing as your avatar).

I have to check to see if this has been posted before but I don't think it has. Nothing that I can see.

It's a fair assessment of the options, without being illuminating. My favourite bit though is this:

Fox produced the best performance of his 103-game career in the 2022 Grand Final when he held Jeremy Cameron to two goals in the 81-point loss to Geelong while collecting 26 disposals to be arguably Sydney’s best player.

I'm not sure if I've ever heard a mainstream media person acknowledge how good Fox was in that game, especially not since 2022. The talk is (understandably) that we were pretty terrible and about Warner (who, for mine, was great in junk time, especially in the last quarter). But I'm a firm believer that Fox WAS our best player that day. I was already a fan but have rated him higher ever since.

100% spot on.

The only player close to Fox for us that day was Day Light.

Any contract questions?

 

[bedford]

Any contract questions?

NO and there shouldn't be , he and the club have said many times not worrying about it while the seasons on

That 20+ disposals and 2 goals stat is incredible. Heeney and Warner 1 & 2 and then the rest of the list is Goodes.

It shows how truly incredible Goodes was but also how we need to capitalise on having two players capable of doing it this season.

out of Essendon – but Sydney is, according to Sam Edmund.

The Magpies had been linked with a play for the contracted Bomber, but they are reportedly not in the mix any longer.

Stringer, 30, has hit a contract trigger for 2025 at the Dons, however he wants greater security and a contract for 2026.

Edmund believes the Swans are a team that is indeed interested, though their focus remains on the 2024 season and their Preliminary final clash with Port Adelaide.

“He’s looking for a multi-year deal and that is ongoing. What I can tell you it’s not Collingwood and it won’t be Collingwood. Put a line through Stringer joining the Pies,” Edmund told SEN’s Whateley.

“The trigger for next year at Essendon, it’s a lot more than $400,000 – it’s not that offensive, but he wants the second year on that contract.

“As we sit here now, there’s a chance it could be Sydney. In fact, I’d have them as the most likely.

Yet the AFL.com.au guys are still adamant it’s Collingwood
