Sydney Swans vs. Collingwood Magpies Match Report
7.10pm June 25, ANZ Stadium
Now I?m probably one of the more optimistic Swans supporters and tip the Swans every week but even I didn?t have the greatest hopes for the Swans against Collingwood. The Swans went into this match with three changes to the team that was thrashed by Carlton ? Bevan, White and Everitt recalled for Mumford (suspension), Jetta (dropped) and Johnson (injury). The Pies got Swan back, fresh from his Arizona... -

Swans match report v Carlton
Swans v Carlton I was overseas during the early part of the season and had watched the swans play Carlton at the scg via the afl website. that's an interesting experience as you get a bit of a delay, you know ball kicked by number 5 to number 3 to number 4 who goals. this meant I approached the swans Carlton game without the preconceptions of those who had watched that game. However I have managed most of the subsequent games and must confess to being pretty apprehensive as I boarded the train ... -

Round 11, 2011 ? Yo Gabba Gabba!
Well last week was yet another heart-stopper from the Swans and after well and truly handing in their Get Out Of Jail Free card against North, Swans fans were hoping for a less stressful evening this week. Ominously for Sydney though, Brisbane had shown signs of life in the last two weeks, with successive wins following the return of Jonathon Brown, a player who has burned us before. The selection panel, in a move no doubt designed to both simultaneously delight and vex RWO members, picked fan... -

Round 10, 2011 - A win is a win!
Sort of forgot about the report until Sunday morning. I usually take a note pad and get my PA to take notes for me. However, my PA is doing VCE, and chose not to come. Which was a good thing for all around us, as she is chocked up with cold at the moment. Many thanks to the people who chose to spend the afternoon with me. It made for some light entertainment from a rather frustrating and stressful game. The game: We started bad, North could not capitalise on it, missing some relatively easy s... -

It?s never easy revving up the motivation levels required to pen a match report after a loss, especially one as emphatic as Sunday?s loss. I also empathise with prospective readers the difficulty experienced in having to re-live the horrors of a thrashing - my natural preference being to look forward to the upcoming match and chalking up the abject performance to just a bad day.
However to do so would be incredibly short-sighted as in truth,... -

Swans Short Circuit the Power
Swans Short Circuit the Power It's a daunting task to write up a report after the stellar efforts of our previous report writers but here goes. On a night so cold at the SCG I swear I saw penguins huddling around a heater , the Swans got the job done to the tune of 62 points. While the margin (our biggest in 3 years) was indeed impressive the manner in which it was achieved was less so. The first half saw some of the worst football the Swans have produced this year and lacked the intensity ... -

Horse gets across the line for maiden victory : Sydney v Essendon, Round 2 2011
The second round clash between the Swans and Bombers was all about the new boys going head to head. The Golden Boy vs The Longtime Apprentice. James Hird had thus far enjoyed a dream start to his senior AFL coaching career, guiding his Bombers side to a series of remarkable wins (the loss to the rampant Collingwood in the NAB Cup Final notwithstanding). In contrast, Sydney's John Longmire went about his business in quieter fashion - a mixed fare in the opening round of the NAB Cup, followed by... -

Hope Springs Eternal
** Pictures by ScottH It?s been a terrible off-season. The Socceroos lost in extra-time; the Victory were anything but; and Punter and his pals sank without trace. Never mind: a new AFL season and hope springs eternal. I drove up to town from Gippsland with my daughter - it took a couple of hours, so I had plenty of time to reminisce - plenty of memories from past Demons? confrontations. Schwartz and Dunkley going head to head, more intent on whacking each other than winning the ball. Dermo... -

Sydney vs Carlton - Elimination Final
When I put my hand up to write this week's match report, it was with the knowledge that it could turn out to be a eulogy to the football coaching and playing careers of Roos and Kirk. On the other hand, there was a good chance it would turn out to be a celebration of yet another pounding of the Blues on home turf. There were times during Sunday's game where I had started to write both versions in my head. In the end the game turned out to be neither of these, but rather an addition to the now ... -
