Some surprises in the starting line up and the positions. ?Weed? Reid was recruited as a backman, but is playing KPP forward. Terrific to see LJ (Lewis Johnson) up and about as the other key forward. The midfield is Smith, Barlow, Rohan and O?Dwyer. Pyke rucking and Crusher up forward. Key defensive responsibilities with Teddy and Campbell Heath Campbell (aka Jones).
Not a good start, Scooter (Vez) made a bad turnover, but Belconnen missed. But soon after the midfield started to dominate and the game becomes a training drill. Reid and Currie had a picnic, and kicked all five of the Swans goals, two of the five came from good contested marks. Belconnen could only answer with three points.
More of the same in the second quarter. After Belconnen won the first clearance and get a goal from it, Bluey Rohan kicked a good long set shot after receiving the pass from LJ. Nick Smith went through a period where he won several consecutive centre clearances, two resulted in goals, one to top up Potter junior. Bluey then returned LJ?s favour by giving him the pass for another. Trent Dennis (Penny) Lane, who had appeared late in the first quarter, got it to Reid for another mark and goal. Reid drilled a long one in for Pyke to mark and goal. McNeil then snagged a great snap. Reid marked a long kick by O?Dwyer and nailed the long angled set shot. Nick Smith finished things off with a classic rovers snap goal.
According to normal Swans practice the guys took their collective feet off the pedal in a pretty forgettable third quarter. The Swans only goals came after Cheese drilled a long accurate pass to Nipper Gordon who passed on the LJ. He saluted with an angled 45 metre set shot. Penny Lane got the other in a goal square scramble.
The Frosty Dew must have delivered a few cannons at the break, because the goal flow resumed in the last. LJ nailed agood snap, Crusher accepted a pass from Nipper and drilled a long set shot. Nipper provided Scooter with another chance and he nailed a long bomb. Scooter handalled to O?Dwyer for a classy angled snap. Finally two unknown kids gave themselves a thrill by combining to get another snapped goal (Emery and.....)
Goals Reid 5 (straight), Currie 4, Johnston 2, Dennis-Lane, Veszpremi, Rohan, McNeil, Pyke, Smith, O'Dwyer, Kruger, Emery
5-2 13-3 15-7 20-8-128.
0-3 4-7 7-9 9-12-66.
Highlights: Successful return by LJ, continued improvement from Nipper, good ruckwork by Crusher, and Weed the goalscorer, taking contested marks and quality kicking style.

by joemoore12Not 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...

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...-

by joemoore12Old 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 ...

by joemoore12What 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...

by joemoore12For 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...

by joemoore12May 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...
