Another thread about the Melbourne media having NFI about Sydney Footy...

Some commentators in Melbourne seem to actually observe better than others. Perceptive artice by Rohan Connolly.
It's business as usual as Swans fly under radar

Why the "Oh Dear"?

I assume the article/ headline initially called Sam Ben before it was edited.

Yes. You can still see it in the URL

So that's what's slowing Bird down, too many choc tops and frozen cokes! It's alright for Sammy, I suspect he might always be more Jason Saddington than Tony Lockett build-wise no matter how many trips to the concession bar he makes.

Looks like a Sydney Daily Tele story originally, although the headline mistake looks more like one a Hun staffer would make. Still, another entry in the small but growing category of 'Editing mistakes involving Sam Reid'.

Plus, an excellent example of why Swans are so low-profile. The other big AFL stories this week are a club losing its CEO in a scandal and a star abusing a woman in a bar. Sam's pets can't compete with that.

The story was in the Hun, by Eliza Sewell as stated in the Perth paper, complete with a photo of Sam outmarking Brad Sewell. I don't know if there is some connection.

Did we recruit the right guy?

SYDNEY
Plus: The Swans' spirit is its greatest strength. The logical team to beat again.
Minus: Who gets left out of the side for Kirk Tippett is a query.
In a few words: Bloods' worth bottling.

Maybe KT8 has been channelling some Dalai Lama too

Kirk Tippett...

WE ARE THE BLOODS. HE HAS BEEN ASSIMILATED.

[BeeEmmAre]

Lewis Jetta is from Western Australia, yet media over here (read Karl Langdon) still manages to call him Leroy!

[ugg]

Okay now I'm seriously worried

[ugg]

It's all falling into place for the Swans

If it was Teddy I'd be a little more forgiving.

Twittered them myself. Nice shot though.
