Swans culture on the skids

[Biffen 12,431]

Are they really as clean cut as all that or do they get away with it more easily . 

Colin Sylvia would have loved it up there.

Roll your car, party on. ( the club will deal with it.)

The whole culture thing is a myth, always has been and not just for the Swans.

The only thing that really matters where culture at a sporting club is concerned is getting a talented bunch of people on the same page playing good footy. Setting up a winning culture has nothing to do with players being role models, great citizens or any other rubbish being trotted out by AFL media people and football clubs.

It's a bunch of kids who can play footy with the right structure in place to see them play to their peak, nothing else.

No club is clean & the AFL have managed to keep a lid on things, this is the tip of the iceberg.

Rather trade our softcoque culture for theirs.

100% agree. It's all a load of rubbish.

The only culture I care about is one where you win.

Although we wouldn't want to cheat with drugs like another club did, would we?

Definitely overstated but there is something to internal culture. A group of talented kids who are good mates will play better footy than a group of talented kids who are not. That internal culture has always been said to be strong at the Swans, with players passionate about supporting and standing up for each other. It's something we haven't had much of until arguably this year.

And yes, the iceberg is enormous. They'll keep it hidden though, they've become good at it.

Is Talia already taking a cost of living allowance payment?

I thought that was stopped?

Yeah I wouldn't want 2 flags in the last 10 years or consistent winning record either

Swans keep playing finals.  Whatever culture they have wins games if footy.
