Media Swans Talk in the Media 2024

[Millky95]

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.

This is what is so frustrating about footy media. Why can't people literally paid to do this shit, actually do the ****ing google to prove their claim or not?

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.

That was really interesting. I didn't know about that.

I'm certain our players aren't used to this much attention.

Swans skipper sidelined - ABC listen

The Swans have made a call on Callum Mills– he’s not fit to play in the Grand Final. Should umpires have access to stats when deciding their Brownlow Medal votes? And what are Geelong up to on their Wacky Wednesday??

I remember this happening in 2022...
Complained all year about lack of Swans media content and then there was too much to keep up with in the week leading to GF !

Odd. I just found out on 360 that Andrew Dillon's dad is a swans supporter.

Maybe it's a sign the umps will be more sympathetic this time?

Good article.
I was one who would've preferred Cats for redemption reasons, but the other felines will do.
