The media is starting to take notice

Swans are starting to get picked up on the media radar. Good article here by Rohan Connolly:

Swans: The real deal - realfooty.com.au

And a rave about the Swans from Terry Wallace here:

yeh its funny how they are all saying that we are premiership contenders, yet at the start of the season all of them were saying we are going to take a slide down the ladder this year. Oh, almost forgot, idiot Schwarz tipped Richmond to beat us(again), does he ever tip the swans? and if not, what did we ever do to him for him to hate us so much.

Wouldn't worry too much about Schwaz. He is the worst commentator around.

even Mike Sheahan is saying nice things - the posh chairmans lunch a few weeks back worked!!!

I have noticed Schwarz's negativity (or hatred) towards us for a number of years now. He very rarely tips us and is always highly critical of our game.

I have gone as far now as refusing to listen to him at all, turning off SEN when he is on, and turning the sound down on the TV when he is providing his version of so-called special comments

Terry Wallace rated the Sydney Swans the best team they have played this season.Richmond have challenged the big three this year, almost upsetting competition leaders Hawthorn, pushing reigning premiers Geelong and drawing with the Western Bulldogs.

Thats a big quote by Plough.

Ox reckoned the 2005 Grand Final was the most boring GF he has ever seen.

Hahaha...you can't get too excited about a game when you are in the TAB the whole time though can you...

Sydney will probably win the flag if they finish top four.

But;

I hope the Bulldogs win it. Even if it means seeing Aker with another medal.

Guess what? We don't care what you hope.

Your spot on about Schwarz tipping against the Swans. Nearly every Wednesday when I look at the "Inside Football" tipsters, he is nearly always the one who tips against Sydney for the forthcoming game.

Yet there are two ironies to all of this. First, he is one of the leading tippsters in terms of success rate this year. Second, back in 2005 in the week leading up to the St Kilda Preliminary Final, he was I recall the only media person from Melbourne tipping a Swans Premiership. Most were tipping the Saints, followed by the Eagles, and few were tipping the Crows. Schwarz was on his own in tipping Sydney.
