    Not a biggie to me, the red and yellow of the lifesaver looks a pretty natural fit for the Gold Coast as far as I'm concerned.

      It would be nice if the Suns could do their numbers in yellow instead of white though. As it is, from behind they look identical to the Swans (not a problem Geelong, North or Carlton have), and yellow numbers would be more in line with their colour scheme anyway.

            Melbourne media....Again

            Fair enough we are in sydney but my god the melbourne media just do not rate us at all! I was listening to triple m and they were talking about the best midfields, combined with users off the half back in the league and depth wise. All they mentioned were carlton, hawthorn, collingwood, geelong and west coast in terms of their ruck combo. What about the swannies midfield and half backs? geezus.. Kennedy, Bolton, O'Keefe, Hannebery, Jack, Goodes, Malceski, Shaw and our young guns Rohan, Parker and Jets coming through I think we have a pretty formidable midfield/half backline. Its alright though theyll see our talent when we knock off one of the top 4 sides this year! COYS

                  TBH, I think it is good we fly "under the radar" or so-to-speak, no one rates us nor do we have any expectation. Go Bloods!

                          Technically he was omitted due to injury. That's still accurate. I would give the benefit of the doubt except that they've also got LRT "out injured" in the same sentence.

                          177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                              The way he said it, it was like he was saying Nick Smith had been dropped due to poor form.

                                I agree. Omitted always refers to someone being left out of the team for a reason other than injury. Illness = injury. By saying Smith has been omitted in the same sentence where he says LRT is out injured definitely implies Smith has been dropped, which is clearly wrong.

                                The most basic of checking - e.g. a couple of clicks on the Swans official website - would have clarified it.

                                Scott Cummings, if you expect to be a professional sports journalist (i.e. you get paid for the quality of your info), you need to put in the work to check your facts. You owe an apology.
