Kennely on Footy Show tonight

[SXP]

OK, OK,

Tadgh was great. He explained his origins at the beginning and then gave his tipps and commentary on every team, as normally the panel does. Although he was "squeezed" between Spider and Darcy on the panel, who were occasionaly intimidating, not allowing him to speak. They knew who the "goodlooking" guy at the table was.
Eddy was fair to Tadgh by encouraging him to voice his opinion so that Tadgh could also be heard. I liked that very much, which I must admit was very professional on his behalf (did I just give Eddy a compliment?).
Sam, of course will not receive any honorable mention from me for his constant whining that he can't understand what Tadgh was saying. He was really annoying. Next time the show should bring in a language expert for Sam and help him understand differenet accents (irish, english, etc... ).

Gem, I hope somebody has taped it for you, because Tadgh looked very dashing, you would've liked him.

Sam is a r*tard and I've never found his sense of humour very funny

Listen to Tadhg Kennelly



Irishman Tadhg Kennelly believes there is a lot more improvement in the Sydney Swans - from stringing four solid quarters together to improving their accuracy and putting teams away.

Boasting a 10-5 record with seven home-and-away matches left before the red-and-whites hope to make an impression in September, all their focus at the moment is on defeating Carlton at Optus Oval on Saturday.



?They (Carlton) are obviously going to be fired up,? the 22-year-old said.

?During the week they have been training doing a couple 800-metre sprints and a 1km time-trial in the water and a lot of physical work, so they are going to be really, really fired up.

?It is always hard playing teams on the rebound like that, I suppose we just have to be tuned on, soak it up early on and hopefully we can run over the top of them.?

While expecting a hostile crowd, Kennelly hopes Sydney can get on top of Carlton early and perhaps turn their supporters against them.

However, far from being complacent, he admits the team has worked hard on goal-kicking as their accuracy has dropped alarmingly since the break ? especially against Port Adelaide when the Swans trailed 4.5 to 2.9 at the main break.

?I think we just have to take our chances and put scoreboard pressure on teams.

?We probably should have beaten West Coast by a lot more and it could have come back and haunted us at the end and against teams like I suppose Brisbane and Collingwood and Adelaide you want to be able to put that scoreboard pressure on.

?Had we done that against Port Adelaide we could have maybe won the game, we would have been a big chance going in at half-time being a few goals up and the psyche could have been different for us and for Port Adelaide.?

While happy other teams in the competition now respect them, Kennelly knows it will only increase the difficulty in an already tough run home which includes Fremantle, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Brisbane, Collingwood and Melbourne.

?People didn?t expect us to win after we lost three in a row, people were saying we have Brisbane, we have Collingwood and Melbourne at home and we were doubtful to make the eight and stuff like that but we won.

?We are not getting ahead of ourselves but it is a tough run so we are just going to take it week by week and hopefully we can get over the line and cement a place in the top eight.?
