Melbourne media at it again!!!

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Did anyone catch the presser? Some journo asks Jack "As a young bloke, did you ever see Kirky play?" Kieren appears to try to answer the stupid question without laughing before Longmire chimes in and says "He's not that old. Kirky's not that old" Laughs were had.

Some of the media is completely useless.

I am still waiting for them to get through a game day broadcast without calling Lewis Leroy or Jarrad Mark or Rhyce Heath....

In Sydney, we can now watch Footy Classified on GEM starting at 12am Tuesday.

In Sydney, we can now watch Footy Classified on GEM starting at 12am Tuesday.

At least with 'Footy Classifieds', we have Gary Lyon who goes into bat for us on a regular basis.

Looks like with Grant Thomas gone and Matthew Lloyd as his replacement, we'll have two!!!

We already had two with Grant Thomas there. On two separate occasions I heard Thomas say that anyone who goes to the Swans comes out a better player and a better person.

I heard this and, I may be wrong, but my initial thought was that it was an ignorant Sydney-based journo, rather than Melbourne media.

Bloody funny though. If you know so little, why are you reporting at the game? I can understand some old NRL hack getting sent along to a mid-week presser if the AFL bloke is off sick, but to a game? Round 1? A derby game?

I was listening to KB's show last week and Jon Ralph from The Herald Sun was along about Adam Goodes and was calling him Brett Goodes I mean to say how pathetic is that?

Sure they weren't talking about his brother who plays for the Doggies- and who apparently had a pretty good game in their hiding of Brissie?

To these Melbourne based 'experts': is someone able to explain the logic behind this annual poor assessment of the Sydney Swans?

OK AJ's out. (But how many Melbourne based 'experts' put him in their 2012 All Australian team?)

However, in comes McGynn, and later ths year Tippert and probably Gary Rohan.

Players like Hanners, Smith, Reid, Pyke, Bird, Morton, Jetta, Jack, Parker, (who was carrying an injury in 2012), can only get better this season.

There is no reason why Josh Kennedy, ROK or even Adam Goodes will not drop in their 2012 form. ( Josh in particular was a superstar last year)

Finally, the potential is there for Tom Mitchell, Tony Armstrong, Harry Cunningham, Jed Lamb, Dean Towers, and Dane Rampe in particular, to step up the mark in 2013.

So why as Matthew Lloyd assesses, would Sydney drop more than at least 4 places in 2013 and finish out of the top 4? What is the rationale behind 'experts' like Nathan Brown being so CERTAIN that the Swans will finish no better than 5th?

Oh I wasn't suggesting it was a Melbourne based journo, just figured it fit into this thread.

Why do I have a sense of deja vu

Melbourne media at it again!!!

The way they are carrying on about the unfairness of the COLA, you'd think they would all be giving us the cup already. That's the bizarre thing for me. We apparently have such a ridiculously unfair advantage over the rest of the comp, yet these same people claim we are no chance of winning the cup ? Mind boggling

I may be misreading your words, but Matthew Lloyd, in The Age footy guide supplement, tipped us to go back to back.

I may be misreading your words, but Matthew Lloyd, in The Age footy guide supplement, tipped us to go back to back.

What is meant here is that Matthew Lloyd's assessment is to ask the very reasonable question: why on earth wouldn't the Swans still be in the top four in 2013? I fully appreciate that he (very much on his own south of the Murray) picks Sydney to go back to back this year.

[unconfuseme]

Lloyd is a fool, and has no place in the Melbourne Football media!

Not one member of that revered organisation has tipped the Swans to finish top 8 in the past dozen years!!!

He is an imposter with zero credibility.
