Media Swans Talk in the Media 2024

[SGBeach]

To be fair, the media think we only have three players, so 3 vs 23 seems a no-brainer.

scroll up this page.. interviews with Rowbottom, Campbell, P McCartin and Pridham, McCartin and Pridham talk about other players and Swans in general.
So thats a lot more than 3 players

ps.. haven't delved into the multitude of media outlets which are highly likely to involve even more players this morning.

Fascinating hearing about the un-announced ruck rule changes that hurt Grundy’s game. Apparently it was changed because umpires didn’t like umpiring whether the ruck pushed with a straight or bent arm.

I don't get why either sides fans get so upset when someone doesn't tip them. it's not like they are tipping North.

Brisbane is a reasonable tip in this game

well it is one of only three options and one of the three options happens about once every fifty years, so its not particularly ground breaking

Weird that that's the first thing his mind went to. I guess Hayward is a bit of a character.

A lot of players with past GF experience talk about this & how time/stress-consuming it can be ... must waste some of the game-focussed energy getting 100s of requests from family and friends and deciding on the cut!

Sydney is a better one.

My aunt says Blakey's auntie couldn't get a ticket.

Wasn't Hayward on 360 last night?

Montagna saying that only one team in 23 years have won if they're trailing at quarter time: west coast 2018.

So I suppose a good start is essential.

We were trailing at quarter time in 2012.

Yeah I kinda thought that, but assumed he'd done his research.

Uh, 2012?

I'm very happy the last three posts have saved me going to check that we were, in fact, behind at quarter time in 2012.

And if we were ahead at quarter time in 2005 I don't think it was by very much.

Separately, at least we can't complain this week that no-one in the media is talking about us.

A lesson in reading to the bottom before responding to a post.

Not only is he wrong, the team that did it is playing in the grand final this year.

Where do I sign up to get paid for being an unaccountable idiot?

A very quick cursory check of the incredibly difficult to find information source Wikipedia shows you that the following 21st century grand finalists trailed at QT before getting a result:

• Brisbane in 2002
• Hawthorn in 2008
• Geelong in 2009 (a game Montagna literally played in)
• St. Kilda in 2010 draw (a game Montagna literally played in)
• Sydney in 2012 (as has been extensively covered)
• Richmond in 2017
• West Coast in 2018 (the allegedly one side to get a result after trailing at QT)
• Richmond in 2020

That makes it 8/25 (accounting for the replay) who have trailed at QT before getting a result (including St. Kilda getting a draw).

tl;dr - Montagna talking out his arse.

For the record, only the Swans in 2012 and the Eagles in 2018 trailed by any significant margin (19 and 17 points respectively). The rest mostly trailed by under a goal.

Oh why the heck would you assume that?!

I think this one was locked somewhere else - but there's some deal that allows this website to post the article unlocked.

Cause he's paid. Guess we're talking about Montagna. Sad part is when he said it nobody corrected him.

That's a great little story - so Horse ran into him a few times in the off seasons while he was down at the farm, and JJ was probs back home visiting the family. Not many kids get to play for the team they supported growing up.

It was 3/4 time not 1/4 time.
Just another reason why you should take zero notice of anything Montagna says.
