    An article in the Age about Jake Lloyd's nomination for Rising Star has (I am pretty sure) a picture of Shane Biggs.
    Media regarding the Swans doesn't get any better.

    Hardly a mention about Buddy's 9 goals, but his car accident was front page news.

    At least he got a mention in the Age. In the Herald Sun newspaper there was no mention. They also didn't have an article about LRT retiring. He was only mentioned in a sentence in an article about Goodes possibly playing on.

    For people like us that can access the internet it's not a big issue but for someone like my dad he relies on the newspaper. I had to tell him about Lloyd being nominated.

    There was a pretty big article in today's Heral Sun about Lloyd winning a Rising Star nomination...

    Are we really so surprised? Most Melbournians have their heads shoved so far up their arse that they think the world revolves around them. Professional aussie rules hasn't been soley Victorian for 30 years but how many times do you hear us and the teams in SA/WA/QLD being referred to as the interstate teams. It's non-Victorian you wankers.

    If the Grand final ever does get moved from the MCG you'd expect a riot. Whether you like them or not at least the NRL is willing to share its showpiece event.

    If you are going to have a rant about Victorians its probably a good idea to learn to spell properly or we will give you the boot.

    Wow what a revelation. All my life I was lead to believe that Sydney was the centre of the universe.

    I thought this forum was to discuss about the Swans and the game, but all it is about now is putting each other down, having an Us vs Them mentality about everything from NSW v VIC, SYD V GWS, SCG V ANZ, hardcore v non-hardcore.. So over it.

    Fair point Damien.
    It's just we all get a bit frustrated by the media's Melbourne Centric views.

    Let's move on to Round 2 then!!

    How crap is it that there is no footy in Sydney this weekend when they get to play everywhere else in the country?
    "It's up to the rest of the players in the room to make a new batch of premiership players next year," Adam Goodes, triple Bob Skilton Medallist, October 7, 2011.

    YOU BETCHA!!!!!!

    Yeah , i thought the whole idea of having GWS was that there would be a game in sydney every week. Looks like the AFL have already failed that little promise!!
