Ch Ch Changes: Sydney Swans 2016 Season Preview
Not since 1200 of the South Melbourne faithful made the return train journey to Geelong for the first match of the 1909 football season, have Swans supporters held such a sense of anticipation for the year ahead. Familiar faces have moved on to greener pastures, and some to opposition clubs. A fresh-faced brigade of youngsters are bracing to make their mark, and the club has never before in its proud history, enjoyed the position of off-field strength that it now holds. On Saturday, the Sydney Swans... -

Round 22 - St Kilda v Sydney: The Craic
Beidh ceol, caint agus craic againn? We?ll have music, chat and craic.
Having spent three years living in Dublin, I?m well versed in the joys of ?having the craic.? It?s how my friends from the Emerald Isle describe a good time. Let the good times roll?
Pre-game:Once completing my penultimate teaching degree on Friday, the Swanette and I boarded a most familiar flight from Hobart to Melbourne. It just makes sense to do so ? my brother lives there, my S... -

Round 20 - Sydney v Collingwood: Old Mates & Old Foes
Old Mates & Old Foes ?Mateship? is a concept that can be traced back to early colonial times. The harsh environment in which convicts and new settlers found themselves meant that men and women closely relied on each other for all sorts of help. In Australia, a ?mate? is more than just a friend. It?s a term that implies a sense of shared experience, mutual respect and unconditional assistance. I?ve been mates with Shep since we were pre-teens, growing up together on the sporting fields of ... -
Round 18 - Sydney v Adelaide: The Red & White Unite
What a harrowing week. What a shockingly shameful week. For the past six days, distorting truths has become as much a sport as football is. For the past six days, a great Australian has been shown such a lack of respect and common decency, that I?ve been ashamed of my fellow Australian. Today, the Sydney Swans will play the Adelaide Crows at the SCG. Adam Goodes will not be playing. We all know the reasons why. It saddens me, and many others, that a man who shows exemplary respect and understandi... -
Round 11- North Melbourne v Sydney: The Union of Old Friends
For the past four years, I have attempted to juggle full-time study with full-time employment. This has resulted in a full-time headache. However, the end is nigh, and it is now more than ever, that I appreciate the unquestionable need to seek the support of old friends. This week has meant exams. Exams mean study, and study means no footy until the weekend. Not ideal. Not at all. It?s been a long week. But, like an old and trusted friend, the Sydney Swans wait for me at the end of a week... -
Round 9 ? Sydney v Carlton: Take me to the O?Reilly Stand
May 29, 2015. The Bloods have been afforded the privileged honour of kicking-off this year?s Indigenous Round. This proud club has a rich history of highly-skilled, hard-working and much-loved Indigenous heroes. From Elkin Riley of the 1950?s, to Abiana Davis who was drafted late last year, the Red & White faithful have adored and admired our Indigenous footballers. As we take on the Blues, thoughts of current and former favourites take hold. Tonight is a celebration. Helping to celebrate the contrib... -

Round 7 ? Sydney v Geelong: A Beer for Macca
Round 7 ? Sydney v Geelong: A Beer for Macca by Joe Moore He that buys land buys many stones, He that buys flesh buys many bones, He that buys eggs buys many shells, But he that buys good ale buys nothing else. ? John Ray One could easily be mistaken, strolling through the breeze of an autumn night in Melbourne, that this Saturday will carry on without a care in the world. But the footy?s on, and we most certainly care about that. While we search for some warmth from the elements, we... -
Round 1 ? Sydney v Essendon: The Wizard?s Week
Round 1 ? Sydney v Essendon: The Wizard?s Week Six years ago, the West Calder Wizard emerged from the solitude of the Scottish Highlands to embark on a journey. A journey to an unknown land. A journey which would take an unexpected turn. For not long after landing on our shores, the Wizard found love. Those close to him were fond of his cordial manner, and were not surprised when news of this romantic liaison filtered through to the homeland. The West Calder Wizard will be wed on Saturday... -

This is for The Bloods: Ten Years On
The year of 2005 will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the Swans faithful with a fondness like no other. For seventy-two years is too long. Too long to suffer the pain and heartache associated with much more sinister pastimes than merely cheering your footy team. Poor on-field results, near bankruptcy, a messy relocation and the introduction of the Swanettes provided some of the many lowlights throughout years punctuated with misery. From the spiritual homeland of the Lake Oval to the historical... -
