I have unlocked the key the success of the Sydney Swans.......
The more the media jumps down their throats as being no good it seems the better they play. In their consecutive grand final years no one really rated them as a force to be reckoned with. Who could forget that in the first of those years the Swans took away the premiership. I certainly can’t being in Melbourne at the time.
Come the following year the media still didn’t rate them as a quality outfit. This feeling was exaggerated after a sluggish start to the season. Headlines proclaiming “premiership hangover” dominated the papers as their first win came in unconvincing fashion in round three against Carlton.
One recent example of writing off the Swans comes from a Podcast named Mondayitis. Mondayitis is my favourite Podcast, it it’s a review of the previous weekends AFL action and a preview of the coming weeks games. On Monday 14th May, senior writer for sportal.com.au and commentator on Mondayitis, Paul Gough, stated that the Swans were “in trouble.” Just one media personality to start to write off the Swans.
But what happened the following match against ladder leaders Port Adelaide??
Well the Swans won didn’t they. Of course they did, because everyone had written them off after two ordinary losses to North Melbourne and St Kilda.
Now the challenge is to keep winning whilst being written off.
Write them off!!
