As expected, its been largely all Swans, all of the time, in the main media this week.
On the Couch is, as a general rule, 'Swan the Couch' at the best of times with Messers Roos and Healy on deck. Thankfully we won't have to put up with Dunstall and Roos on the commentary team this Saturday, given their offences against ears everywhere in round 22.
Among the more amusing pick-ups this week...
Mark Robinson to the AFL 360 panel: "Will the Kennedy family be barracking for Hawthorn or the Grandson?" Robbo, Whateley & Bomber Thompson all authoritatively state - "Grandson!" Rodney Eade just laughs and says "Don't be ridiculous, the club is always bigger than the individual... John Kennedy Jnr will also be barracking for Hawthorn." For the record, the kennedy's had made clear that they were behind Hawthorn for the game, in Robbo's own toe rag, earlier that day.
Eddie McGuire (God he's a woeful interviewer, needs to learn from Sheahan and refrain from making it all about himself) to Michael Tuck... "So, you kicked 3 goals with your first 3 kicks in league football?" Tucky - "Yes, that's right"... McGuire: "Gee, why aren't you a legend of the game then?" Viewing audience in unison: "Oh Dear!"
Special mention to Don Scott for decrying Tim Watson for being a media whore. I liked seeing Jobe win the Brownlow, he's a likeable chap, but Watson senior is a nong of the highest order.
