Super Sledging Swans?

[Faunac8]

�I know we�ve got a lot of sledgers in our team, but when it�s a final it�s so pressured and there�s so much stuff going on, it�s pretty hard to think outside the box and start sledging,� Hannebery said.

This was interesting to hear regarding Wherefield and his decision to disappear when a drug test was in the wind and how Sydney will use this next week.
I wasn't aware that the Swans were big on sledging so this was a surprise to me.
Given this comment can anyone enlighten me as to who our sledgers are and who is the club champion. I assume that Buddy would be capable of a few words but who else do we have?

[Sandridge]

I didn't think we were big sledgers either but I have heard that Benny doesn't mind a bit of a chat. When it comes to sledging, I thought GWS led the field.

I thought Hanners said the opposite - that we don't have many sledgers in the team. At least, that's what I heard.

That's what I thought I heard too but I'll admit I had it on in the background and wasn't paying full attention

[Faunac8]

Edit the actual conversation from Dan was we haven't got a lot of sledgers
This was then reported as " we have ".
Sloppy journalism and potentially harmful to the image of a club.
Thank goodness as I believed our team was better than that.
Although interesting to hear Josh say he wouldn't have an issue with it though????????????

The question I want to ask is should we have more sledgers in our team and resort to dirty tactics to win?

Seems to work for putrid clubs like Hawthorn.

I think we probably avoid a lot of report by not playing a role in the sledging.
You'd think that at times players who engage in sledging a lot would get worked up until they explode.

Candidates for sledging at the Swans would be Jones, Hanners, McGlynn, maybe Laidler, and I can see it is Rohan in more of a light hearted way.

One thing I hate seeing is the way Hawthorn stand the mark when the opposition is having a shot at goal.
I hate it because it seems very effective and we don't do anything like it.

Id also say Tom Papley and Callum Mills love a sledge also from what ive seen in the past.

C'mon. Australian sportspeople are world-class sledgers and thus it ever was. No reason the Swans would be any different. It's hilarious watching McGlynn at a game, never shuts up, always in someone's ear.

Think you answered your own question there.

If you want 'putrid' watch Rance stand the mark. He scratches into the ground a mark that is invariably 1 metre further forward than it should be.

It's the defenders job to try & get away with that
