Sam Newman's Blast against the Swans

I'm picking that up on my digital set top box on a station called NITV (National Indigenous TV). It's free to air.

NITV can be scanned through your standard set-top box - digital as well (oh der).

If you haven't got it already, rescan your channels and it should appear.

What really gets me about the comments of Sam's and the other media 'experts' is that they exclusively blame the Swans for the unappealing game v. the Saints.

IIRC we were playing lovely free-flowing, high scoring footy in q1. Then SK started a flood that wouldn't look out of place in FNQ. Unfortunately for us we couldn't hit a target in a F50 with about 30 players in it. When the Saints rebounded they had quick, skillful passing and Koschitske often isolated up the other end. The fact that he was having a blinder didn't help us.

But no, it's only us that plays boring, defensive football. What the Saints did to us was "shut us down". What we do to other teams is "bringing the game into disrepute".

Just to back up your theory red:

I took this during the 4th qtr, we were attacking the end furthest away from me.

I was getting pretty annoyed that the saints ppl nearby complained about the swans flooding tactics, "typical Sydney", but failed to notice their own tactics. Actually, it happens at most games full of one-eyed ignoramuses.
