Bloods - Win This Game.

[magic.merkin]

it's not all bad, Kevin Bartlett rates us (he calls alot of our games for SEN) .

Anyways, there was a good bit on the halftime show show yesterday, where Terry Wallace posed as the Dogs coach, and Scott Lucas as the Swans coach, and they talked how they would beat each other. Was good, and Lucas had some knowledge of us.

The quicker you let go of these issues, and enjoy proving them wrong the better it is!

i still say we raise a red and white clad mob & storm the tv studios (torches and pitchforks optional).

If I hear that the Swans play 'shut down footy' one more time I will.....well I don't know what I'll do. I might pen a strongly worded letter to those 'experts' in TV land (there are a few exceptions including most of the Marngrookers). What the Swans play is tough, disciplined footy, but we also have plenty of speed, pretty good skills, some flair and we can be deadly on the fast break. I hope the boys get up 'em tomorrow night and run rings around the bulldogs. Maybe the 'experts' will sit up and take notice then.....

Agree. What we do is what Collingwood does, and what St Kilda does, except that for most of the season they have done it better. Just like the old furphy that we flood, other teams get men behind the ball. Ridiculous, and for paid commentators, embarrassing.

They are not all bad. During the call last week, Leigh Matthews said we had become one of the quicker teams in the competition - and of course we have our own Gerard Healy pumping us up (win, lose, or draw). The problem with most of the TV football shows is that they are manned by Melbourne radio broadcast personalities (Lyon, Whateley, Dunstall, Brayshaw, Taylor, etc) who all call matches played in Melbourne and rarely call our games - the last one for most would have been our MCG game against the Demons (where we were slaughtered).

You would think that they would have to watch all the games as part of their job, but clearly they don't.

The Footy Show is complete crap (and has been for years) so I don't bother listening to their views. I expect that the newspapers will have a much more positive and insightful coverage of our game in tomorrow's edition (like today's Age has for Freo and Geelong).

I have that Channel 10 image from 2005 running through my mind - where they ran the list of the so-called 'experts' who got their opinions wrong in regards to the Swans - I am hoping we might get a repeat this year. Go Swans!

Lovely!!

[Midfield]

it wasn't as bad on AFL Teams last night, but yet again it was mentioned how great ROK is playing right now. Ummm, okay......

I hate that they don't even watch our games and then feel like they can talk about us like they know all about us.

Geez I hope we win by 60!

I am sorry if this was already mentioned a few weeks back but your post reminded me. I cannot recall the game, was either the dogs or hawks and Tim Watson was reviewing the game on Sunday morning's Game Day or whatever they call it on channel 7. When it was time to give his '3 things he learned' from the game etc he said something along the lines of "#2: Ryan O'keefe has taken things to a new level and is an absolute power runner"........ At that time I honestly thought that he must have fallen asleep during the game and just thought that he would get away with saying it, which he did beacsue all on the panel agreed.

Cool - thanks for the correction & the link, magic.merkin.

[Swandering]

I don't remember ever seeing this ad - was it run in Sydney, or just Melb. Either way, I love it!

Big thanks to whoever was brave enough to make it.

[i'm-uninformed2]

It was in the Ch10 intro to the game and a beauty. That was a pearler best red hot poker I've seen stuck up someone's date - only topped by the banner at the 05 GF that simply read: "Demetrirootapus - You Were Wrong".

Well, it didn't quite say that but it's my name for him.

[Cardinal]

Wouldn't it be hilariously funny (extremely improbable, I know) if the GF ended up us V Freo!
I think there would be a media meltdown on Melbourne.

I'd be laughing all the way to the bank having $10 at 500 to 1 on this outcome. Having the pies lose to Freo in a prelim would be bliss.

[Wardy]

At least Parkin & Colby said we'd win last night on league teams. And the good thing is that if Geelong and the Pies end up playing against each other next week - we all know that they will be belting the crap out of each other! Good vibes man, good vibes!!

[Hartijon]

The other thing is that mentally whoever wins the Geelong/Collingwood game will be celebrating it like it is a Grand Final win. They may not turn up to play on the big day assuming its a fore gone conclusion they will win.Thats when we hit them with everything we've got!

thats the way I'm kind of leaning too! (but keeping a very tight lid on it!)
