Swans Tactics-Defeating its own purposes? Ive been to several Swans games this year and it plain as the nose on your face that their own tactics of trying to hold on to the ball at all costs is killing them. Against Geelong last week and Collingwood last night,their insistance on short,silly handballs in their half-backline and waiting ...

First day after my holidays - and the swans at the pond where I often walk my dog seem to have used the last three weeks to set up a little show of rivalry: one swan hunted around an island by another endlessly. The repetition gave me the opportunity to find the best position to capture the start of the hunted swan. All shots with the K20D, Tamron 70-300, ISO 1600, cropped to roughly 30-50% of...

This week in Sydney we have two big sporting events, the Bledisloe Cup and the Swans vs Crows blockbuster. The question is which game is gonna get the greater score? Bledisloe Cup games usually average about 50 points a game and Swans-Crows games average about 130 pts a game. However there is no guarantee the two AFL combatants will get anywhere near their average as both teams have most ...

THE SWANS will consider trying to put Carlton spearhead Brendan Fevola off his game, defender Leo Barry says. St Kilda's Max Hudghton got under Fevola's skin to great effect last week, restricting him to three goals and eight kicks in Carlton's 32-point loss. "That's probably not the way we play in our defence … [but] if you do try to put him off his game, look it's something that might ...

An average of 123,000 Sydneysiders tuned into the heavily promoted Sydney blockbuster of the year on Saturday night. Collingwood are supposed to be popular all over the country. Ch 10 in Sydney finished a distant fourth as per usual when showing a Swans Saturday night game. Ratings in Sydney just don't seem to be growing for a team that has been in the finals virtually every year since the...

A pair of swans are at a nearby pond. I stopped by this morning with my E-510 and 50-200mm (old style). I have not posted here for a while. Comments are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Back from Europe again and somewhat worse for wear, which is a bit unusual but, alas, I’m getting older it appears and the jet lag thing takes its toll more every year. Don’t know about you, but I can travel west to east without physical symptoms, but east to west leaves me a wreck and has for years. But, in a few days all will be well, n’il desperandum . Doubtless this was one of the most ...
