Beautifully written appraisal of the Swans to date.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

So good to savour a well written piece. What a treat!

What a wonderfully written article! You would enjoy that writing no matter what subject it was on.
Loved this bit, the most apt description of someone I've ever read - Heeney looks like he was made in a footballing lab.

Great discussion on SEN now with Hodge and Healy , worth the listen if possible , just praise and Hodge did predict a flag

 

[Ticky009]

LOL - Pridham comments quoted by Fox Footy. "There's no advantage. Lions have had two byes and they're outside the 8. You want to talk advantage talk about Magpies will have their 7 games at the G."

And that's a perfectly valid counter. A much better one than "Yeah well teams not playing Opening Round have their Bye then!"

Yes the whole bye discussion is ridiculous and Melbourne-centric.

Appreciate the heads up.. what show was it and ill try and post the podcast

 

[Arwib]

Yeah there's no statistical basis to the idea that teams are better or worse either side of a bye. It really does go both ways about equally.

There's some basis to arguments about overall fatigue levels, but that varies a lot of other ways, especially in the relative break length between two games for specific teams playing each other.

We had our really compressed period across the 5 rounds just before the bye, the sort of crunch which not all teams have had to deal with, especially those who weren't playing Thursdays.

Any First Crack this week?

 

[Ticky009]

How a 'hot' midfield and Smart recruiting have made the Swans untouchable

Any First Crack this week?

No. Unfortunately, would have been a good episode too because King was at the game instead of watching it from a studio.

 

[Ticky009]

We love you too Horse!!

I reckon he's referring to the "Ssyyyyydney" chant that we usually only start up once the game is iced, but started in the third this week. Was a bit early but was great to hear!

The flip side is we will be more worn out come finals than any other team. You don't win premierships in June

And also when we kicked a few quickly in the 2nd quarter. Crowd got up and about right quick.

It really sucks that it’s turned into a “once the game is iced” thing. Used to be when we got a bit of a run on, particularly if we were pegging back a lead. Genuinely electric when it gets going, in a way most Australian sport atmosphere never touches.

I think the loud music after every goal doesn’t help.

Eddie won't be happy. Haha.

Scroll down to section with Hodge
Scattered Swans chatter throughout.
I might be on my own here, but I like listening to Hodge. Reckon he has good insights and doesn't come across with an agenda, mores just tells it like it is
