Season Preview 2015
Everything Old is New Again: Sydney Swans Season Preview 2015 People often tell me that life is funny. Funny? The events of Saturday 27th September, 2014 were far from funny. In fact, they were as funny as the sparrows nesting in my roof all summer, perched directly above where I lay my weary head! Let me tell you, 3am chirping is not much fun, and neither is playing witness to your team's worst performance in many a year.....On the biggest day of the year. However, as the new footy season... -

2014 Finals Series Match Reviews
AFL Qualifying Final ? Sydney v Fremantle: Voltaren and Victory ?I?ve done me back in?. Five seemingly innocuous words combine to create a sense of deja vu. I know this feeling. I?ve done it before. Not for a while though. The last time, I was perched a top of a ride-on Victa! This time, ironically in my quest for physical fitness, a simple sudden upwards movement whilst at the local gym, has brought me undone. For the next few days, this brings me to the one place I was trying to avoid in th... -

AFL Round 21 ? Sydney v St Kilda: Half Time Hero
AFL Round 21 ? Sydney v St Kilda: Half Time Hero The more things change, the more they stay the same. This rings true for Swans supporters these days. We truly are a fortunate bunch. The winds of change have swept through the Sydney Swans like never before, yet we still get to cheer more often than jeer. A generation of Bloods heroes are slowly, but surely, moving on to the next chapter of their lives. Chapters that don?t necessarily involve us, the supporters. The game has changed. The g... -
AFL Round 19 - Sydney v Essendon: Mid Winter Meandering
I am a simple man who enjoys simple pleasures. When the humdrum of a gloomy winter routine becomes a little mundane, it's time for a break. This year, my wife and I have opted for a trip from a chilly Hobart to the snow-laden, glacial wintry wonderland of Cradle Mountain. As per any dinky-di road trip, the supplies are plentiful, the stops are planned and the tunes are blissful. Life is all about the simple things and when your day includes visiting a proper country bakery and a cellar door wine... -
AFL Round 18 - Hawthorn v Sydney: The Faceless Man Returns
When passengers boarded Virgin Australia Flight VA858 in Sydney last Friday afternoon. There was shock. There was horror. There was inconceivable confusion. There was a faceless man on board. 'Where is his face?' asked one bamboozled guest. 'He looks astonishingly boring' said another. 'No face, no hope' claimed a repulsed flight attendant. The Faceless Man is returning to a land where he once ruled with all the might of Julius Ceasar in Roman times. The snide remarks and puzzled sideways glances... -
AFL Round 17 ? Sydney v Carlton: Musings of a Green Thumb
AFL Round 17 ? Sydney v Carlton: Musings of a Green Thumb ?All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.? ~Indian Proverb For the first time in my life, I am about to become a gardener. Two years in the making, the backyard, consisting mostly of weeds, rocks and dirt, is about to see some serious action. Three veggie patches need to be built. The great Peter Cundell is on our local Hobartian ABC radio and we have eighteen sleepers, two shovels, a mattock and a pick. The sun is ... -
AFL Round 16 - West Coast v Sydney: Where Were You?
AFL Round 16 - West Coast v Sydney: Where Were You? When the most credible of sources, 'Wikipedia' lists encounters between these two sides as an official rivalry, you know you're in for a serious afternoon of football. Fierce rivals over the past decade, the Swans and the Eagles have played out some high-stakes thrillers never failed to entertain. Whilst recent encounters have lacked the ferocity and tense finishes of previous battles, whenever these two modern-day giants meet, memories of past glo... -
AFL Round 15 ? Sydney v GWS: Headaches, Hot Toddies and Heroes past and present
AFL Round 15 ? Sydney v GWS: Headaches, Hot Toddies and Heroes past and present Not since the halcyon days of The Lake Oval in 1935 have the South Melbourne/Sydney/Bloods/Swans won ten matches straight. Tonight at the sparkling SCG, the modern-day Sydney Swans will attempt to match this magnificent feat. The opponent tonight truly are ?The Enemy?. A brash, cavalier and sometimes imperious football club who have swaggered their way into old Sydney town with a boldness and nerve not to my likin... -
AFL Round 13 ? Sydney v Port Adelaide: It?s Not About the Footy
AFL Round 13 ? Sydney v Port Adelaide: It?s Not About the Footy (Ari?s debut) Michael J. Fox, the man who should have won an Oscar for his performance as Teen Wolf, nailed it when he once said ?Family is not an important thing. It?s everything?. For close to fifteen years now, my family have made an annual pilgrimage to the picturesque Sydney Cricket Ground for a weekend that never, ever disappoints. This year?s trip saw a record number of the ?Moore Swannies? attend, as we filled fourteen se...
