How are the Swans doing 2021

[NoWhiners]

yes, it was nice. Maybe this is the start of more Swans games on TV here???

[Docker123]

 

Kennedy is about 32/33, so not a replacement for Buddy.

 

Perhaps the likes of Blakey as a tall forward/ruck, about 21. Heeney is mid 20s. Not as tall but good chances.

 

[NoWhiners]

I didn't realize Kennedy was that old; you're right. I'll have to read up on  Blakey and Heeney.

 

Go Swans!

Who is doing the scores tonight?

And as an update to the Swans Sydney history (they used to be South Melbourne):

 

Flamboyant former owner of the Swans (Dr) Geoffrey Edelsten has died at the age of 78.

He was struck off by the Medical Board, and later order not to use the titles Dr (even though he had a PhD) or Professor as it could mislead people into thinking he could practise medicine.

 

One of his most memorable players was Uncle Les' favourite Aussie Rules player

It's on here but I'm not really watching.

I’m not watching it. However, I will keep a score page open on my computer and try to get the scores up.

 

[possum52]

I can do it Adrian, I am only reading and I can easily check the scores. You sound as if you are busy.

if you're watching Mic, you are very welcome to put the scores up. I did see Buddy's goal - a typical one for him.

[MicCanberra]

How disappointing.

Sorry we had guests so I couldn't  watch or post scores.

[NoWhiners]

Right there with you Mic. I played golf yesterday and after dinner I made the mistake of having a pina colada, that did me in, fell asleep. Never even checked to see if any games were on!

 

Appreciate posting of the scores. It seems like the Swans lost another easy game. I wonder if they just relax too much when they play the lower-ranked teams?? At least they are still in the top 8.

 

Go Swans!

The only one he kicked for the game. Well held by his opponent.

[NoWhiners]

Just checked the schedule (we were out with friends last night, no time to check then), Swans on a bye this week 😞 But, at least they won't lose. Maybe a week off will help their focus so they win the easy ones???

 

Tonight, Roos--Lions will be on TV here. Tomorrow it's Hawks--Bombers. We're having some friends over for dinner, hoping I can stay up and watch.

 

Go Swans!

[MicCanberra]

Hoping they find good form somewhere in the training ground for next week.

The bye can be a sneaky opponent, just ask Port Adelaide:

Was that real? At first, I thought it was a joke but as the video progressed, it seemed real.

 

Swans beware!

Pretty convincing, but fake news.😁

[Docker123]

In that year, Port was appallingly bad.

 

The running joke was that they were so bad that they would even lose the bye.

 

[NoWhiners]

That is a pretty good joke!

[Docker123]

Uncertainty about where and when the Swans will be playing this weekend.

 

Because of the thing we are not allowed to mention, the Swans may not be allowed into South Australia to play Port Adelaide.

 

Some indications the game may move to Melbourne. It is currently scheduled for Saturday night, but that time would conflict with games at both grounds in Melbourne on Saturday.

 

Potential then for a Sunday afternoon game at the MCG.

 

Keep an eye for updates to your TV guide.
