  • Sydney vs Richmond Round 3 Match Report

    Sydney vs Richmond Round 3 Match Report

    Can We Have Our Money Back Please? That was the thought that crossed the minds of my companion and I midway through the second quarter. At half-time we were all ready to send the bill direct to the Richmond accounts payable department. By the time the game ended, we started to think maybe the Swans should chip in as well. This was never a game likely to rival the epic Sydney West Coast battles for competitive tension, despite the polite pre-game words about how Richmond have some really good...

  • Reserves Report; Sydney v Belconnen - Saturday 10 April 2010, SCG

    Reserves Report; Sydney v Belconnen - Saturday 10 April 2010, SCG

    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 an...

    Round 2: Adelaide Crows vs Sydney Swans Match Report

    Swans Break Adelaide Drought in Dashing Display It seemed like an ordinary Sunday in Adelaide, hot, sunny and dry. 36,000 fans lined up outside AAMI stadium so that they might see the next instalment in a long running series of Swans defeats at the hands of the Crows in the stronghold of AAMI stadium. This is, at the very least, what the fans were expecting, and it seemed that even the idea of a hard fought Swans victory would be dismissed with little more than a broad smile and a pat on the ...

  • Round 2 Sydney vs Crows Preview

    Round 2 Sydney vs Crows Preview

    I should be fond of AAMI. Many of my best formative experiences happened there. The 1976 grand final. The Alice Cooper and Bob Dylan concerts. My first taste of a beer that wasn?t Southwark. And yet I don?t like it. The Crows, who abandoned it to the Power last year, don?t like it. The AFL and the state government, who are tipping $450 million into Adelaide Oval, don?t like it. And neither do the Swans. We routinely knock off Port there, but we can beat the Power anywhere. We ...

    Round 1 Swans vs Saints Match Report

    ROUND 1 - ANZ Stadium, Sydney

    Sydney Swans 3.3 7.5 9.8 13.10 (88)
    St Kilda Saints 5.0 9.0 13.4 15.6 (96)


    New season, new faces, same result.

    The ?new look? Sydney Swans took to the field at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night with six new players but the result was anything but new as the Swans lost to St Kilda in Round 1 for the third straight year.

    Swans? debutants Shane Mumford, Mark Seaby, Ben McGlynn,...

    Reserves vs East Coast Eagles

    Reserves Report ? Practice Match versus East Coat Eagles
    By Old Royboy and Primmy
    The Swans reserves struggled to record a 40 point win against a surprisingly competitive East Coast Eagles side in breezy conditions. Long term reserves watchers were pleased to see how much the standard of local Sydney footy has improved since the Swans were last in that competition. Missing from the starting line-up were TDL, Meredith, Sumner, Lewis J, Thornton and Orreal. The first notes for the yea...

  • 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...
