  • AFL Round 11 - Sydney v Geelong: Jumping Through (around, over and under) The Hoops

    AFL Round 11 - Sydney v Geelong: Jumping Through (around, over and under) The Hoops For the past two weeks, I have revisited the bachelor lifestyle as my wife has been in the nation?s capital on a work assignment. My in-laws know all too well that my efforts to provide for myself have been questionable in the past, and so, offer a roast dinner which I simply cannot refuse. Tonight, the Swans play the Cats. My father-in-law is a proud Geelong man. In five years of knowing each other, and becomin...

  • AFL Round 8 ? Sydney v Hawthorn: Worth The Wait

    AFL Round 8 ? Sydney v Hawthorn: Worth The Wait

    AFL Round 8 ? Sydney v Hawthorn: Worth The Wait It has taken eight weeks of the new season, but on Friday night, the Swans unveiled the much vaunted forward line combination that until now has posed more questions than answers. I for one, think it was certainly with the wait. Bloods supporters all over the nation have been salivating at the prospect of Tippett, Franklin, Goodes and Reid all playing together. Last night, it all culminated in a performance which at last provided answers to all of t...

  • AFL Round 5 ? Sydney v Fremantle: The Troy Cook Medal

    AFL Round 5 ? Sydney v Fremantle: The Troy Cook Medal

    AFL Round 5 ? Sydney v Fremantle: The Troy Cook Medal I owe my love for this great game to two great men. These two men are Derek Kickett and Troy Cook. Both were extremely influential in my embryonic days as an AFL fan. Having grown up in the heart of the NSW countryside, I was stuck in the middle of League Land. My family followed Rugby league, my friends followed Rugby league, I followed Rugby League. Then, one glorious Autumn?s day back in 1994, Mr. Derek Kickett came along with Little Jami...

    AFL Round 4 ? Sydney v North Melbourne: Minimum chips

    AFL Round 4 ? Sydney v North Melbourne: Minimum chips It?s not very often that you get to celebrate your birthday a month early. Fortunately for me, this year I did. As a gift from my wonderful wife, we flew from the Apple Isle to the Harbour City for a long weekend which included watching my beloved Swans take on The Enemy at the SCG. A true sporting icon, the Sydney Cricket Ground is without doubt my favourite place to visit. As a Swans supporter, there is no feeling like being surrounded ...

    BOOK REVIEW

    CREZZA (From AFL Glory to Prison and the Long Road to Redemption)
    - This review may contain spoilers
    While the cover features a shot of Daryn Cresswell clutching a footy, and the back cover an onfield photo in action with the Swans, the premise of this book is not exclusively devoted to football and Cressa?s decorated playing career. More often, this part of the story is addressed in a fleeting manner, and at times is almost incidental to the narrati...

    Match Preview - Round 20: Sydney vs. Collingwood

  • Ch Ch Changes: Sydney Swans 2016 Season Preview
    by joemoore12
    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
    by joemoore12
    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
    by joemoore12
    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
    by joemoore12
    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
    by joemoore12
    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
    by joemoore12
    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...
