On the 7 team, they couldn't even mention the Swans asking Richmond for a Jetta + Rohan for Martin trade. Common knowledge no? They we're talking about Martin, he's having a standout game, against the Swans. Any other game commentators bring up that sort of thing.

I do the exact same thing. I did it for the Essendon game, the Hawthorn game and now the Richmond game.
It takes a bit of effort to make sure you have a media blackout until 3:45-4:00pm, but its well worth it. I fast forward all the ads after goals, fast forward through quarter time, half time and three quarter time. Dont anser my phone or look at it when I know I've received an SMS. switch the computer off, no radio.
Suck on that ch 7!!!!!Comment

Can someone explain to my why the media are harping on that the Eagles are flying and genuine top 4 contenders, yetthe Swans have little chance of cracking those top few spots and all that can be said is that they haven't taken any big scalps?
Who have the Eagles beaten that we haven't? Did we not beat them at home?Sanford Wheeler 4 President!Comment

Probably for the same reason that Carlton were magnificent in their demolition of the Lions by beating them on their own ground by 61pts or 29 shots on goal to 18 where the previous week it was all the Lions poor performance and no domination by us when we beat them at their home ground by 65pts or 31 shots on goal to 16.
The silence is deafening in the media regarding our away record this season also, now if that were the Eagles or the Blues.........Comment

With odds of Carlton at $1.27 to our $3.25 then there's not much to talk about.
Since last year, the Swans have been consistently flogged by teams above them. Very difficult to see that changing Sunday but it would be nice to experience. At least it will be dry, which helps us a little bit.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

Apart from the Semifinal against the Bulldogs of course when it most counted...
And I seem to remember the game against the Saints was pretty close.
Really, it's only been the Cats and Pies until recently - and moat teams get flogged by those two.Sanford Wheeler 4 President!Comment

That was last year and this year add Hawks and Carlton at this stage to that list.
It's a healthy reflection on where the Swans are in terms of the ladder but you can't win a GF if you can't beat the top 4. At least once in the season (i.e finals).
To be on track to finish the season on 5th or 6th with our mostly young inexperienced team, is an extremely good sign for the future.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

So ultimately one off game against the Hawks and a very winnable game against Carlton.
Anyway, the point is that the Eagles don't receive the same criticism and are seen as top 4 material despite being below us on the ladder and having lost to us at home. We may have lost those crucial games but so have they - how are they better placed for that top 4 tilt?Sanford Wheeler 4 President!Comment

How about our media dept start pulling up these journos on obvious mistakes? Or is that not what we do at the swans?
It's now insulting the way they keep screwing up names and not caring. Imagine if the almighty powerful bestest club in the world collingwood were to continually have their players name spelt wrong in the media - Eddie would have a heart attack and the pies would make sure they put a stop to it ASAP!Comment
